Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 240<\/h3>\n

\"Elliott\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today’s stop on our tour of Ann Dvorak’s Los Angeles takes us to one of two schools Ann attended during her formative years. The Elliot School For Girls, which promised “character building,” was located in a converted home at the corner of Gramercy & Pico, which was probably an old Victorian residence. Unfortunately, I have yet to locate a photo of the school, so what we have for reference is an old Sanborn Fire Insurance map from around 1921.<\/p>\n

Ann’s attendance at the \u00c2\u00a0Elliott School For Girls was a last minute revelation that came in the stash of personal items I obtained in May<\/a>. I recall seeing the school referenced on one piece of studio publicity, but since that was the lone mention I did not follow up on it.<\/p>\n

Ann’s personal items contained letters from a friend who attended the school with Ann and recalled how the pair would sneak into the kitchen at night to snack on olives and chocolate cake. I am not sure how long Ann attended, but she would eventually graduate from a different school.<\/p>\n
