en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Gest "Morris Gest, also Maurice Guest (March 15, 1875 – May 16, 1942), was an American theatrical producer of the early 20th century." His papers are at the University of Texas: norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadid=00740 "Morris Gest (1881-1942) was one of Broadway's most successful and well-known theatrical producers of the 1910s and 1920s. Born Mishka Gershonovitch on January 17, 1881, in Koshedary, a small village near Vilnius, Lithuania, and raised in the Jewish community of Butrimonys, Lithuania, Gest emigrated to Boston by himself at the age of twelve." The U.S. National Portrait Gallery has a cartoon portrait of Gest by Walter Kunstler: npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.91.154

Thank you swanq and B-59 for the interesting details about Guest's life. We will add some to the description when we update.

I belive this is "Frederick Edward Guest" (hope I'm not mistaken!) Information can be read at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Guest

Yes indeed, this is Frederick Edward. We'll add the additional name information to the source data and reload the description. Thanks!

This photo was in The Sunday Oregonian, June 16, 1912, SECTION FIVE, Image 70 with the caption: "Captain Frederick E. Guest, the husband of Amy Phipps, of Pittsburg, has been made treasurer of King George's household. He is the officer next below the lord steward and acts as his deputy In his absence. The lord steward sits in an office known as the board of green cloth and commands the officers and servants of the royal house hold except those of the chamber, the chapel and the stables. The steward of a hotel isn't regarded as of much con sequence socially, but the lord steward of a royal household Is Indeed a per son of note and social influence. Therefore the Guests are highly honored, and to show their appreciation of the distinction conferred on them they have bought a bankrupt millionaire's palace and prepared to dazzle the British capital." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1912-06-16/ed-1/se...
