[EPHEMERA], [CALIFORNIANA], [SAN FRANCISCO]

San Francisco, CA: The Palace Hotel, 1942. Other. B&W Illustrations; 1942. This is a brochure / promotional poster (approx. 15" x 10 1/2 " features a photo of The De Marcos on the inside and the details of their preformances on the other side. The promotional piece folds twice to make a brochure. "Completely rebuilt from the ground up, the "New" Palace Hotel opened on December 19, 1909, and quickly resumed the role of its namesake predecessor as an important San Francisco landmark as well as host to many of the city's great events. While externally much plainer than the original Palace, the new "Bonanza Inn" is in many ways as elegant, sumptuous, and gracious on the inside as the 1875 building. The "Garden Court" (also called the "Palm Court") —which occupies the same area that the Grand Court did in the earlier structure—has been one of San Francisco's most prestigious hotel dining rooms since the day it opened. Equally famous was the "Pied Piper" Bar located just off the gleaming polished marble lobby, which was dominated by Maxfield Parrish's 16-by-6-foot (4.9 by 1.8 m) , 250-pound (110 kg) painting of the same name. The Ralston Room, named for co-founder William Ralston, is off the main lobby to the left of the painting. " (from Wikipedia) "DeMarco was born in Buffalo, New York, on 1 January 1898. He was the son of a farmer, whose father had lost the family mill in Palermo through neglecting business to dance at folk festivals around Italy. De Marco became a dancer despite his father's opposition. He began his career as a solo dancer, then with partners, in burlesque and vaudeville, in the prohibition-era speakeasies. De Marco danced with several female partners, of whom the best known were his wives. Tony's first wife was Nina Kroner and his second Renée. Tony and Renee began dancing together when he was 29 and she was 16. He was best known for his performances with his third wife, Sally Craven, a ballet dancer. Sally Craven doubled for Vivien Leigh in the long shots of dances in Gone with the Wind (1939). " (from Wikipedia). Very Good .
