...priory is best known for the prolific talents of Brother Gregory, a self-taught musician who plays the guitar, the piano and the organ. He has composed some 200 songs to celebrate the faith, using scriptural themes and nature metaphors. His music echoes the Gregorian chant sung by Benedictines for more than 1,000 years. Since 1971 about 100 of Brother Gregory's songs have found their way, through the priory's songbooks and records, into Catholic congregational singing across the nation.

When it opened its doors on New Year's Eve, 1919, the staff unrolled a long crimson carpet down to Hollywood Boulevard, then a dusty lane, where lines of limousines deposited their elegant passengers. As the silent movie era gave way to the talkies, and Hollywood's business and glamour grew proportionately, the residences of its stars became more lavish too. There was the Hollywood Hotel, where...
