Gloria Swanson's Unforgettable Night at MILLION DOLLAR THEATRE

[@rw9692]

Sid Grauman's granddaughter has been my friend since 1973! She now lives with her husband in New Mexico. Her brother was a Burbank policeman for 30 years. Great video. I read Gloria's book, "Sugar Blues" when I was a teenager. Her skin was said to be radiant! She never ate sugar!

[@michaeljspencer2593]

Dear Jonathan: Thank you for capturing all of this historical Hollywood stuff. Gloria Swanson ❤

[@briangarrow448]

Insomnia isn't nearly as irritating since I started following your vlog, Jordan. Thanks for another interesting post!!!

Right?! So true! I am so happy I found him on U-Tube!!!

[@inlandcldy]

Another history filled vlog highlighting Gloria Swanson and the beautiful Million Dollar Theatre! Not only is it a treat to hear about old Hollywood but the respect and enthusiasm shown by Jordan and Adam is commendable in this fast paced, high tech world.

[@esthergarcia1373]

I remember going to the Million Dollar Theatre with my mom, siblings. A friend of the family treated us to a movie. It was the Mexican Comedian Cantinflas in Romeo & Juliet. It was in Spanish. So glad I got to say I went to a theater that once honored Gloria Swanson. Clifton’s cafeteria also has memories for me and my husband when he worked in downtown and would eat lunch at Clifton’s. Jah is so cute to watch too❣️Thanks for helping us once again relive fond childhood & young adult memories. ❤️🙏🏻🐕‍🦺🌴🎥🎬🌹⭐️✨

[@yolandagaines1760]

When I was a child Gloria gave a lecture at my school. It was about her new book. I shook her hand. She wasn't that much taller than me.

[@Hal70jordan]

I love old Hollywood! So many thanks for always giving us the insight of these people long gone. Anything related to Valentino and his time with Hollywood including Swanson is a real treat. As for Swanson, the very fact that you mentioned her sadness that night was prophetic not just for her but for her peers. She’s one of the very few of her day to survive longer than most.

[@jillgross543]

This was an awesome Vlog! So much information about Gloria Swanson and the beautiful grand old theaters! Very satisfying!

[@vivsleigh2054]

Such an awesome video. Thanks!!!! My mom used to tell me stories about the Million Dollar. She used to go there with my dad. I was just thinking of her a moment ago and I can’t believe I found this video, just realize too that you posted it on her birthday. Wow. Tearing up here. thanks again!!! :) keep me coming. Always learn something new

[@richardmcleod1930]

During one of the Conversancy movie festivals, I saw "Some Like It Hot" here at the Million Dollar Theater which was introduced by Tony Curtis. He stood on the Stage during the credits for the movie with his shadow on the screen before he sat down. It was a most memorable evening.

[@shosmyth1454]

Jordan this was my Mom’s favorite actress. Thank you and hugs to Jawh. 🌺

[@Thomas116-m2n]

You guys are like Starsky and Hutch; you should ride around town together in a Gran Torino making videos. Great vlog!

[@Chutney1luv]

Jordan, I always admired the beautiful buildings of down town! The Architecture, and Structure was classic Hollywood! Your vlogs are the best! I never knew Gloria's history; connected to it! I also love it when you and Adam the Woo's great relationship! You make a Great team! That Million Dollar was amazing! Great research! ⭐

[@CrazyforTrouble]

Glad to see you hang out with Adam. Thanks for the videos rich in early Hollywood history!

[@sallylouise9826]

Loved it loved the film references and little screen play with Adam and the little meetup .👍🏻🙂

[@bud6745]

Love the fact filled vlogs, so interesting, Gloria Swanson was the 1st lady of Hollywood... Jah, Adam and your own film trailer, fantastic 😁 And l am happy to be a patreon. you do a great job. thank you.

[@tinamarie777]

Gloria Swanson is one of the most beautiful movie stars, I think. Saw the movie Sunset Boulevard not too long ago was a great movie and now I finally get the movie Mrs Doubtfire lol

[@rwuest72]

Love the story behind the Million Dollar Theatre, and about Gloria Swanson. It was very fascinating to learn about. I also like that Adam the Woo , is in your vlogs too, I think your both COOL!!! I am subscribed to both of your channels, and like watching both of your vlogs.

[@cathyreardon8979]

Loved watching Adam the Woo and you together 🥰. Love you both. Thanks for this video on the movie theaters and Gloria Swanson. She was more than great in Sunset Boulevard. The first time I saw it with her and William Holden, I knew that I had to see it again. Thanks🖐️.

[@juliepeterson6639]

This is a gem! They Live is one of my favorite movies, better every year and I sooo get it now! My cousin is the news broadcaster that gets exploded on live TV, and I didn’t see the film until years later. He said he had fun doing his scene and was proud to get a SAG card! He really worked for CNN at the time! Ha!

[@kincaide67]

Million Dollar Hotel was the film Bono co-write. I know someone must have put it here. Love this post.

[@elbacarrillo2720]

Rode Angel’s flight many times as a child with my Mom to get her shopping done at Grand Central market..... weekend movies at the Million Dollar and Orpheum theatres on Broadway, lunch at Clifton’s too.....The #NativeAngelenoLife | Jordan, you do L.A. proud!! Love Jah so much 😎🐶🐾💋💋💋

[@Cakemaster2341]

Great vlog... what a beautiful theater...I love Gloria Swanson and how she looks mysterious and stunning... those eyes! Thank you and I love seeing ATW popping in and out.

[@marlene4702]

I was able to tour inside the million theater earlier this year the with La Conservacy tours. All I can say is I had to pick my jaw off the floor.

[@matthewchipman5596]

One of the best VLOG’S you have done! The VLOG helped me deal with the side effects. Of my second Pfizer COVID-19 shot!

[@chlexiel.1022]

❤️ Adam!! I am loving these vlogs about old movie stars- their lives and where they've lived- and the always interesting tidbits you share!! Thanks so much!! By the way- I saw you in one of Adams vlogs and that's how I ended up a subscriber on your channel 🤗.

[@Josherpoodle]

I've been watching your channel for about a year, but lately I've been going back and trying to find ones with silent stars. It's amazing how many you have. Well done. Such an interesting part of Hollywood history.

[@MerAngel12121]

Been watchin' Adam The Woo for years and in one of his recent vids he referred us to your channel. I'm so glad he did. I went, I saw, I subbed. Being an older gal, that I have a couple stories to share with you, young man. Though I am binge watching your vids this evening, I am having some allergy issues, can't sleep, yet not awake enough to give the stories the glory they deserve. I want you to know that I feel you and Adam are the best mash up of vlog teamsters that I have seen on line. You compliment each other's work because you think so much alike. Would love to see you two put together a random and occasional surprise for us and of course it would be a Spectacular event with the two of you because there is quite simply, No one like Adam The Woo and No One Like You. I have Enjoyed Adam's vids over the years and will continue to, though now I have included you and Ja in that Enjoyment. :D TY

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you

[@colinfaulkner1951]

Jah needs his own agent!

[@HAVENWELLE]

Great vlog! Thanks for sharing!

[@richardmcleod1930]

Albert Einstein attended the opening of the Los Angeles Theater in the late 1920's. The Los Angeles Theater was the last of the great Theaters built on Broadway and everyone ate at Clifton's Cafeteria as they still do.

[@richardmcleod1930]

If I remember the story straight, the top of the Los Angeles Theater had not been completed and they went ahead with the grand opening ceremonies with Albert Einstein present. It was probably a very starry night! I don't know what the film was but it must have been a popular one of the time.

[@jro5804]

I think Gloria Swanson was a very interesting Lady. I love this vlog💙

[@patbowman6723]

wow! I can't believe the inside of the eatery, so beautiful. It was as if Jordan walked into a stunning dream.

[@minnesotalakes2062]

[@bonniebrown6960]

I love your stories !! I love that Adam is with you too. I have a autograph from Rowdy Roddy Piper from back when he was a wrestler . He came to my home town for a wrestling match . That's awesome that you were in that alley where he was in a movie . Thanks Jordan for sharing !! 💗

Amazing

[@chuckmadden2251]

Love your vintage Hollywood VLOGS. Fellow Buckeye Chris Arduser has a CD called The Celebrity Motorcade, you should check out. It's like a soundtrack to you're (and many) love for this time in movies.

[@lorindamartinez4337]

I recently went to Clifton's we were all disappointed it wasn't like when we were kids and we used to go and there would be so much different types of food it's very limited just wasn't too happy about being there we had better memories

[@juleslopez5779]

Cute doggy 💕

[@towerman123]

[@Bandit1316]

have you ever seen the episode of Gloria in My THREE sons?

[@mickbushly1146]

I really appreciate Your Love of old Hollywood You are a font of Information! I live in Chico California and there have been many Films shot in this area: The Original "Robin Hood" was Filmed here Bidwell Park became "Sherwood Forrest" The huge Oak Tree that Errol Flynn swings down from and says "Welcome To Sherwood Forrest" Unfortunately fell over due to Rot Local Artists made Pens and carved other pieces of Art from the Grand old Tree. A sceen from "Gone With The Wind" was Filmed here it was during the "Burning of Atlanta". In a nearby town they filmed "The Klansmen" a Pilot for a TV Show with Harry Gardino called "Monty Walsh", and the Movie "The Outlaw Josie Wells" was shot there Clint Eeastwood's horse was My Ex Father-In law's it was high spirited and it's actual name was Boogerboy because he bit those he didn't like, He did like Mr.Eastwood though. The Rice Fields just outside of town were Oriental Rice Fields in the Film "The Bidge At Tokori" There are others but I don't want to do too much chatting! Break A Leg!

[@thebangkokconnection4080]
