Looking for Mabel

& Exterior view of Castle Sans Souci, the mansion

of Dr. A. G. Castles, located on the northwest corner of Franklin

and Argyle avenues, across the street from

Glengarry Castle, where Dr. Castles originally lived.

      But that „home“ soon proved too small

for his burgeoning social life and medical practice. So in 1912,

he built Castle Sans Souci on a three-acre plot.

As an investment, the eccentric Dr. Castles, who always

wore a frock coat, heavy make up and top hat,

tore down Sans Souci and built Castle Argyle Arms

apartments in 1928.

      After striking it rich in the Nevada silver mines at the turn

of the century Dr. Alfred Guido Rudolph Schloesser

had changed his name due to anti-German sentiment during

Word War One to Dr. A. G. Castles.

„An entire evening‘s entertainment”

Editorial content. „The Keystone picture which is to feature

Marie Dressler has been nearly completed at the Western studios

of the company. It is to be a comedy long enough to provide

an entire evening‘s entertainment, and it will be the first of this sort

yet produced.“
