• • A traveler wrote: The Hotel Keizershof is located in a great location — — within walking distance of all the main attractions, yet in a quiet enclave. However, it can get loud if you have a room facing the canal. We stayed in the Mae West Room, the smallest of all the rooms. The room, very comfortable and clean, comes with a shared bathroom and shower, which was fine and we never had to wait. . . .

• • Los Angeles, July 28 — A petition by Frank Wallace, a vaudeville performer, for an order decreeing that he and Mae West, the film star, were still man and wife, was refused by the Court today. The Court was satisfied, however, that the two had been married on April 11, 1911.
• • Miss West admitted early this month that she had married Mr. Wallace in 1911, but denied that she had ever lived with him. She alleged that he had married again without having obtained a divorce from her. Mr. Wallace brought an action to compel Miss West to admit their relationship and divide their community property, which, he said, exceeded £20,000.

Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
