Wednesday, February 18, 1925. Mayflower Hotel opens.

The Mayflower Hotel opened in Washington D.C.  It's still operating.

Actor George Kennedy, who entered the Army during World War Two and completed sixteen years of an intended military career before a medical discharge, was born.  He died in 2016 at age 91.

It's odd to think that in the planning scene in The Dirty Dozen every single actor actually had been in the service.  Kennedy in the Army, Marvin in the Marine Corps, Ryan in the Marine Corps and Borgnine in the Navy.

Last edition:

Saturday, February 14, 1925. The Berries.
