January 4, 1918. "Garland, Charles Y., Mr., portrait photograph." Brother of Hope Garland, young Charles would become a news item in 1919, when he and his brother turned down a million-dollar inheritance. Eventually he changed his mind and made a name for himself as an exponent of socialism, naturism and free love. 5x7 glass negative by Arnold Genthe. View full size.
So glad he came to his senses and lowered himself to accept the money.
All I know is if I looked like that I could own the world ... with or without the money!
Mr. Garland deserves to get bumped up to "Handsome Rakes," surely. I mean, 1918 or 2018, the man is a certifiable hottie.
All those in favor, say "AYE."
[By acclamation, he has been so tagged. - Dave]
