Awesome article, neat topic, great to have the list of young women who stayed there!

Removal of Peg Entwistle
While I am aware that "Original Research" is frowned upon here in Wiki World, I do know that inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims are even more so. Having said that, before anyone deletes my deletion, please know that as Peg Entwistle's biographer I have been scrutinizing every claim made regarding her. I have also interviewed her family including her brother Milton Entwistle. Peg had a room at the family's Beachwood Canyon Drive house and stayed there whenever she was in town. Although Milton is over 90, he is sharp as a tack and remembers as yesterday his sister living in the house and NOT at the Hollywood Studio Club Apartments.

Also, my search into the records, receipts, and rental agreements of HSC did not find a single item mentiong Peg Entwistle. Jameszerukjr (talk) 04:04, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Possible ID of homicide reported in "Operations" section of this article.
There is reference in the Los Angeles Times on page A8 of the September 10, 1928 edition. A Mrs. Bertha Kirk (45) was shot by screen actor Captain Helsey James Pepper (54). He then turned the gun on himself. The body was taken by her sister Catherine Wilson (1215 Lodi Place aka Hollywood Studio Club). There is also a reference to a uncredited "Captain Pepper" in the film "The Beach Club" 1928. I can't verify the location of the shooting, only that it fits the timeline of when Virginia Sale would have been at the club and that a Mrs. Kirk being 45 at the time would have been "older".
