r/1920s

A dinner menu from July 3, 1922, the last night at sea for travelers aboard the White Star Line's R.M.S. Majestic ocean liner. The journey began on June 28 and the ship — which sailed from Southampton, England, to New York by way of Cherbourg, France — arrived in the U.S. the following day.

The Majestic was at the time the largest ocean liner in the world. It had just entered service for White Star two months earlier after being built by Germany as the Bismarck and given to Britain as part of Germany's World War I reparations.

This menu comes from members of Los Angeles's Stern family who boarded in France and were returning to the U.S. from a vacation in Europe that included a visit to relatives in Germany, attendance of the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at France's Auteuil race course, and other exploits. The Sterns traveled in First Class, which means they may have dined with such fellow passengers on the voyage as composer and pianist Irving Berlin, film producer Jesse Lasky (who with Cecil B. DeMille launched the studio that would become Paramount Studios from a barn once owned by Stern family patriarch Jacob Stern), and famed French singer Maurice Chevalier.

I'm also including some fun information pages from the Majestic's passenger list and brochure, including descriptions of the restaurant, secondary dining facilities, and other amenities. Not sure how I feel about "Electric Baths."

Well, not EXACTLY today, but in "modern times." From my filming locations website https://video.chrisbungostudios.com/quickpreview-ourgangthelittlerascals-yourownbackyard-part1.html

Filming location then and now from the Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie Your Own Back Yard, 1925 vs Today.

Evelyn Preer also known as “The First Lady of the Screen” was the lead role of Within Our Gates which was released 01/12/1920. This historic film is the oldest known surviving film by an African-American director. It’s since been named one of the greatest films ever by a Black director (Oscar Micheaux).
