  • Shell Game at the Seashore 1932–1936
    5 Shell Game At the Seashore 1932–1936 EARLY IN 1932 the dynamic and always headstrong Camille Rossi, San Simeon’s construction superintendent since 1922, finally wore his welcome thin with Hearst and Julia Morgan. George Loorz rose to the occasion. He was the young builder from Berkeley (b. 1898) whose past credits included nine months on the Beach House job in 1927–28. Loorz was as much a typist as Hayes Perkins was but one imbued with a deeper respect for the truth and with far fewer axes to grind. Letters, not diary entries, were his writerly stock in trade. We can rely on George Loorz for some glimpses of Beach House history in the 1930s. Midway through 1932, Morgan described him to Hearst as “simple, direct and capable,” as a man “with a natural manner.” In contrast, the often cynical Perkins described Loorz at the outset of 1932 as “a back slapper if there ever was one.” You decide. To most old-timers conversant with the San Simeon or the Santa Monica of that era (not many are left), Loorz was a man who could do no wrong, a mortal who all but walked on water. Before we move past the first month of this new year, Alice Head must be heard from again, silent in these pages since the summer of 1931. She has no peer, no equal in these circles—not even George Loorz and surely not Hayes Perkins—when it comes to recounting Los Angeles and sometimes the Beach House (though still not by name) during what technically were the worst years of the Great Depression: Mid-January, 1932, saw me once more setting forth for the States, this time on the Samaria, one of the smaller Cunard boats.

  • Illegitimate Births in Gloucester, MA, 1855-1894
    ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS IN GLOUCESTER, MA, 1855 – 1894 The term “illegitimacy” is derived from the Latin illegitimus, meaning “not in accordance with the law.” A child is considered illegitimate when it is conceived and born outside of the regulatory sanctions of marriage. In order to facilitate genealogical research the Gloucester, Massachusetts, City Archive department is in the process of building a series of data bases of the births, marriages, and deaths that took place in Gloucester in the last half of the 19th century. As we entered birth information into this data base we wondered what became of those children identified as ‘illegitimate.’ The following is a result of those ruminations. Please note that the figures provided are not conclusive, as during the period 1860 to 1875 the legal status of the child was only sporadically noted in the official records – an interesting fact in and of itself. Also, at the time of this survey, deaths were only available in an easily searchable format for the years between 1851 and 1873. Obtaining the figures from 1874 to 1894 would have consumed more time than was available to this researcher. Nonetheless, certain conclusions can still be drawn from the easily obtainable records. Illegitimate births accounted for less than 1% of the overall births in Gloucester during the thirty-nine years spanned by the survey, and were equally divided between the sexes (108 boys and 107 girls). This figure seems extraordinarily low compared, for instance, to the year 2000 when approximately 26% of all births in Massachusetts were recorded as illegitimate. However, one must take into account various social factors.
