1924, GLORIA SWANSON IN "THREE WEEKS"

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

WONDERFUL 1924 shot of Croton's Gloria Swanson in "Three Weeks"--CLICK ON THE PHOTO----the screenplay was by Elinor Glyn, a British novelist and scriptwriter who specialized in romantic fiction---considered scandalous for its time, although her works are relatively tame by modern standards. She popularized the concept of the "it girl", and had tremendous influence on early 20th-century popular culture and, possibly, on the careers of notable Hollywood stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson and, especially, Clara Bow.
