The photographs are both black and white and color, and range insize from 3x5 color polaroids to panoramic black and white photographs. Professionalphotographers such as Darlene Hammond and Irv Antler were responsible for thephotographs; besides professional photographers, many of the photographs are personal,shot by such persons as Margaret Tante Burk herself. Loyola Marymount University does notassume copyright responsibility for these photographs or other images and will notreproduce them.This series has been arranged into two subseries. Subseries A contains photographs ofcelebrities and personages at the Hotel or the Cocoanut Grove, as well as publicity stills ofcelebrities with whom Margaret Tante Burk had personal or professional contact. In thisseries, such movie stars as Paul Newman and Judy Garland and Humphrey Bogart can beseen at the Cocoanut Grove or entertainers such as Ray Charles and the Andrews Sistersperforming at the nightclub.The photographs of Subseries A are particularly valuable for the documentation that theyprovide of events involving celebrities and personages at the Hotel and Grove, such astelevision specials taped there or press conferences; an example of the former is a Muppetstelevision special (1979), that of the latter a press conference of South Vietnamese VicePresident Nguyen Cao Ky at the height of the Vietnam War in the 1960s.Subseries B contains photographs and transparencies of the grounds, buildings, and facilitiesof the Ambassador Hotel as well as events held at the Hotel. Photographs of the facilitiesand rooms of the hotel include its bungalows, courtyards and gardens, rooms, swimmingpool, and dining rooms, such as the Venetian Room. The chronological span of thephotographs of the layout and grounds of the Hotel reaches from the 1920s to the 1980s,thereby providing an excellent overview of what a luxury hotel looked like in Los Angelesover the course of the twentieth century. In particular the photographs of the Hotel made inthe 1940s by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (cf. Box 3) document in detail the facilities andoperations of a luxury hotel.The photographs of this series also richly document the Cocoanut Grove, the world-famousnightclub that was part of the Ambassador Hotel. These photographs include the interior andexterior of the Grove in its first manifestation from 1921 to 1957, the year of its firstremodel, and then its renovation in the early 1970s by Sammy Davis, Jr., among others.This subseries also documents hotel activities, such as employee awards or managerial staffon the job at the Ambassador Hotel.Subseries A.
