1911 HOLBROOK BLINN, EDGAR SELWYN AND MARGARET MAYO

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short Everything Croton.

Stumbled upon  this 1911 Popular Mechanics page which features Holbrook Blinn, Margaret Mayo and her husband Edgar Selwyn---"working" on Blinn's Croton home.

For those who don't know, Holbrook Blinn (of Blinn Road fame) was a very well known silent film star, performer, producer and director of plays at the Princess Theatre.  Click on the images below which also mention Holbrook's performance in THE BOSS---the film version---which is considered lost--was made in 1915 but Blinn had appeared in the stage production a few years earlier.
