  • Professional Career

    L. Beatrice Kidd was a highly successful milliner in Newburgh NY. For many years she owned a fashionable shop ("L. B. Kidd") on the city's main street. Also, she is said to have provided the hats for theatrical productions in New York City. Her home in Newburgh from about 1944 to (I presume) the time of her death was a magnificent house at 420 Grand Street. For details and a wealth of fascinating photographs, see John Foreman's "Big Old House" column at www.newyorksocialdiary.com (May, 2014).

Did you know?
In 1900, in the year that L B Kidd was born, when Floradora opened on Broadway. A huge success in London - opening in 1899 and running for 455 performances - the musical was even more successful in New York - running for 552 performances. The "Floradora girls" were the hit of the show - a "sextette of tall, gorgeous damsels, clad in pink walking costumes, black picture hats and carrying frilly parasols who swished onto the stage and captivated New York for no other reason than they were utterly stunning" ("tall and gorgeous" translated to 5'4"). A sensation, each Floradora girl was said to have married a millionaire.
Did you know?
In 1930, L was 30 years old when on August 6th, N.Y. Supreme Court Judge Joseph Crater went through papers in his office, destroyed some of them, withdrew all his money from the bank - $5,150, sold his stock, met friends at a restaurant for dinner and disappeared after getting into a taxi (or walking down the street - his friends' testimony later changed). His disappearance was reported to the police on September 3rd - almost a month later. His wife didn't know what happened, his fellow Justices had no idea, and his mistresses (he had several) said that they didn't know. While his disappearance was front page news, his fate was never discovered and after 40 years the case was closed, still without knowing if Crater was dead or alive.
