That's very interesting, Joe! Salt Lake has attracted quite a few big names over the decades. The Marx Brothers were traveling by train with Charlie Chaplin once, and stopped in Salt Lake for the night. The story goes that the brothers took Chaplin to a brothel, but he didn't seem interested in the girls, and spent the entire night in the parlor, playing with the Madame's dog. The brothers seemed to have found something else to keep them occupied. Did you know that the first American pilot to shoot-down an enemy aircraft in combat lived his later years in Salt Lake, as a faculty member at the UofU, and is buried in the Salt Lake City cemetary? I located his grave some years ago; Glen Warchol wrote it up for the Tribune as a Memorial Day piece. He was flying as a volunteer for the French at the time of his victory in WWI, in the Lafayette Flying Corps, long before the US entered the war in 1917.

Did you know Burroughs wrote Maid of Mars when he was living in Salt Lake City?
