Wow, this is pretty amazing...and bizarre! Hearst would "summon" people and you were in trouble if you didn't go. Sometime later in 1926, Rudolph Valentino, who had just arrived back in NYC from Europe on January 19, 1926, would not have been there, but he was invited for a later event. Apparently, he had such discomfort from his long ignored ulcers that he couldn't come down for meals. Of course, those ulcers would later lead to his death in August 1926,
'Tony' Asquith was, or would become, top British film director Antony Asquith.....but he had yet to make his first film. He had connections though.....Not just in Hollywood society; his father had been Prime Minister.

It's easy to spot Jack Gilbert. He's the handsomest one in the bunch!

What a little jewel this is. As a longtime San Simeon freak I was captivated. Thanks!

Fabulous! Thalberg at 3:27. I want to know who the pestering dog is at the end, lol.
These people came in party mode which went along with the event this is a true picture of the gathering.
That this is a silent film makes it even creepier to watch.
I can’t wrap my head around the immense levels of ass kissing that must’ve gone on here
I love that place but WTH did I just watch?
love john gilbert, but you need a tripod and a better camera.
Did all those People get out of that one Car?
Nice film. Anyone knows what the music is ?
Andrea Bocelli 'Romanza'
@@hishour1924 thanks !
Weird
It looks like a bunch of creepy people
Yes. Very bizarre.
Alot of drag
Is this fake? Looks far too ....let's say..... Strange!!!! Lol
Definitely not fake. That is W R Hearst. It was likely a short joke film that would later be shown at one of his parties
Why are they all so spazzy? Acting hella weird like circus performers
All mad
