Two leaves 4pp. obl. 4to good condition part printed lined and headed "Guests" part signatures of guests with date and address extracted from a Visitors' Book. Most of the addresses are Californian. Curiously the Huxley's and Virginia Pfeiffer another signatory - sister-in-law of Ernest Hemingway lost their homes and were in flight in the 1961 fire. "Other Hollywoodland residents who lost homes included Henry Becker at 3226 Deronda Mrs. Virginia Pfeiffer at 3210 Deronda and Larry Lattman at 3137 Hollyridge. Homeowner George Mathers suffered head injuries while battling flames and many others sustained damage to their homes.Homeowners around Rodgerton Pelham Place and Deronda fell under threat as the fire pushed up the hill including director Herbert Biberman and his wife actress Gail Sondergaard and his brother artist Edward Biberman. Writer Aldous Huxley and his wife Laura grabbed the manuscript of his current book “Island” as they rushed out of their residence at 3276 Deronda escaping with the clothes on their back and the car a neighbor teen drove out of the garage. They at least possessed another home at 6322 Mulholland Drive in Hollywoodland in which to live." Other signatories include minor actors but I've resisted the temptation to look up all the names total 56 despite their perhaps representing the Huxleys' social circle.
