...history of the Ritz Hotels in America is concerned less with César than with his ablest lieutenant, Albert Keller. Large, red, round and genial, Mr. Keller went to the London Ritz when it opened about 19 years ago. Before that he had worked in hotels all over Europe; had even at the very first been a kitchen apprentice in the National Hotel at Geneva, which is now the Palace of the League of Nations. He was made manager of the New York Ritz when it opened in 1910. Every since he has directed the policy of this hotel...
Forty-seven years ago, in June, Helen Adams Keller was born, at Tuscumbia, Ala. For a year and a half she was a healthy and good natured little absurdity; then, in her second winter, some jealous deity reached out his hand toward Helen Keller.
