Biography / Administrative History

Margaret Tante Burk was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1918. She attended Northwestern University and Chicago Art Institute before moving to California where she settled in Los Angeles.
Margaret Tante married Harry J. Burk in 1945. The couple had three children Tray, Linda, and Jimmy, and the family resided in Wilshire Park. She was vice-president of their Burk Enterprises, which included the one hundred room Lebec Hotel, real estate development, and a restaurant.
In 1964, Burk started working as an assistant at the Huntington Savings and Loan Association. She was quickly promoted to vice president and manager of the Wilshire-Highland branch and by the end of 1965, she became vice president and director of public relations for the entire association. These promotions were distinctive, for Margaret Tante Burk was one of the first female vice-presidents of a financial institution in the Southern California.
While working at the Huntington Savings and Loan, Burk became involved in the Wilshire Center Chamber of Commerce and in 1969, she was elected as the first female president of the chamber. Her previous work for the Wilshire Center of Chamber of Commerce as Chair of the Governmental Affairs Committee and of the General Membership Speaker Committee and as a member of the Transportation and Parking Committee had paved the way for this presidency.
Among her other distinctive firsts, Margaret Tante Burk also managed to become the first woman voted in to the Lions Club International.
In 1974, in an indication of her prominence in the business world and her important connections, Margaret Tante Burk was nominated to be Treasurer of the United States in the Richard Nixon Administration.
In 1969, Burk became the public relations director for the Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove, where she worked in some capacity until 1990. During her time with the Ambassador Hotel, Burk scheduled and coordinated hundreds of events such as award shows, fashion shows and conventions. Her work as publicist for the hotel earned her national advertising awards and public relations awards. For example, in 1971 she received the Hotel-Motel National Public Relations Gold Key, a signal honor in her profession.
After the hotel closed in 1989, Burk continued to book the hotel as a filming location. Numerous movies and television shows were filmed there including Pretty Woman and The Aviator .
Margaret Tante Burk's love for the hotel and appreciation of its history prompted her to write and publish a book entitled Are the Stars Out Tonight?: The Story of the World Famous Ambassador and Cocoanut Grove Hollywood's Hotel. This book includes a history, photographs and anecdotes about the hotel and the Cocoanut Grove. Besides writing this book, Margaret Tante Burk also authored two other books, was a columnist for Meredith Publications, and contributed to such publications as Variety and the Hollywood Reporter.
Margaret Tante Burk co-founded her own public relations firm, Burk-Hudson Public Relations, with Marylin Hudson in 1972. Their clients included the Tony Marks Accounting Firm, Iran National Tourist Organization, California Senior Beauty Pageant and Summit Lighthouse. Their public relations firm worked out of the Ambassador Hotel.
Along with Adela Rogers St. Johns and Marylin Hudson, Margaret Tante Burk founded the Round Table West in 1977. A sophisticated book club, the Round Table West hosted famous authors such as Ray Bradbury, Walter Cronkite, Maya Angelou and Michael Crichton and served as a platform for authors to meet their readers and promote and discuss their books. At one point, with three meetings a month respectively in Newport Beach, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles, Round Table West was the largest book club in the country.
The philanthropic and community contributions of Margaret Tante Burk are numerous; the following is just a sample. She founded the Hancock Park Art Council and the Huntington Organ Society. She served as the fund-raising chair for the Children's Home Society of Bakersfield. She was also a board member of the Professional Women to the Philharmonic and the Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society.
Margaret Tante Burk passed away in 2011.

Scope and Content of Collection

The Margaret Tante Burk Papers consist of correspondence, newletters, memoranda, scripts, advertising brochures and magazines, press releases, photographs,ephemera, postcards, and flyers. Most of the material documents the Ambassador Hotel, once Los Angeles' most glamorous hotel; Margaret Tante Burk's book on the Ambassador Hotel, Are the Stars Out Tonight?: The Story of the World Famous Ambassador and Cocoanut Grove Hollywood's Hotel; and the Round Table West, the book club that Margaret Tante Burk co-founded with Marilyn Hudson.

In addition there are numerous photographs documenting the Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove. The Ambassador Hotel opened in 1921 and closed in 1989. Located at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard, the hotel stood as a hub of Los Angeles social life. The hotel and its famous Cocoanut Grove nightclub was a center of Hollywood night life. The hotel hosted Academy Awards ceremonies and other entertainment events, such as film shoots; political rallies; and fundraisers for charities. Performers such as Bing Crosby, Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra, and Rudy Vallee performed at the Cocoanut Grove. Movie stars, politicians, and royalty all stayed at the Ambassador Hotel. The hotel was also the scene of one of the more important events in Los Angeles and national history: the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. The photographs of this collection are especially rich, documenting the activities of these Hollywood movie stars and events at the Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove. There are photographs of Academy Awards ceremonies at the Ambassador, for example. In addition there are a number of photographic stills of movie stars, eg, Joan Crawford. Numerous photographs also provide evidence for the decoration of hotel rooms and the hotel grounds during the course of its history, and publicity shots document activities at the hotel.

Round Table West Series 3 1960-2007

Physical Description: 25 archival document boxes

Scope and Contents

This collection consists of the records of the "Round Table West," a prominent book club in which Margaret Tante Burk played a key role, both as co-founder and as director. Partners in a public relations firm, Margaret Tante Burk and Marilyn Hudson, at the instigation of their friend the renowned journalist Adela Rogers St. John, founded Round Table West in 1977. Hudson would become the organization's executive director, while Margaret Tante Burk served as the chair. Round Table West's meetings centered on a luncheon, where authors, often celebrities, discussed their work. According to Publisher's Weekly, this luncheon was the largest held by any book club in the United States. From its initial meeting place at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, Round Table West grew, hosting three meetings at month, with 200 to 600 people in attendance. The meetings covered much of Southern California: the La Quinta Club and Resort in La Quinta, California; the Beverly Wilshire, in Beverly Hills, California; and in Orange County, either at the Balboa Bay Club or else at the Newport Beach Country Club. Authors and celebrities who presented books included Maya Angelou, Benny Goodman, Joseph Wambaugh, and Ray Bradbury. By 2005, in the twenty-eighth year of its existence, Round Table West claimed to have hosted 3,000 authors.
Besides hosting book forums at luncheons, Margaret Tante Burk, through Round Table West's "Books for the Bookless" program, collected, and then distributed, 2,000 books to hospitals, libraries, and prison.
By 2006, Round Table West had begun to cease functioning, and is now defunct. Materials in this collection include correspondence, meeting and promotional flyers, newspaper clippings, press releases, and black and white and color photographs documenting the history of Round Table West. Photographs of authors at Round Table West include Jackie Gleason, Bob Hope, Carol Channing, Ginger Rogers, and Joseph Wambaugh. The dates of the holdings in this series fall between 1960 and 2007. The titles that Margaret Tante Burk assigned to the folders are found in parentheses at the beginning of the "Contents" field.
Series 6: Personal and Professional Papers contains some material on Round Table West in the form of correspondence that was mixed in with Maragret Tante Burk's personal correspondence.

Ambassador Hotel Book Series 4 1923-2005

Physical Description: 14 boxes

Scope and Contents

Building on her career at, and love for, the Ambassador Hotel, Margaret Tante Burk wrote a book entitled Are the Stars Out Tonight? The Story of the Famous Ambassador and Cocoanut Grove Hollywood's Hotel. The book was published in 1980 but by 1995 was out of print; in 2003 another run of the book was printed. Besides treating the history of the hotel and the Cocoanut Grove, the book is well illustrated with invaluable photographs of celebrities and personages who lived, dined and danced, and entertained at the Ambassador and the Cocoanut Grove. In short it captures the spirit of a bastion of the golden age of Hollywood from the 1920s through the 1950s.
This series consists of the subject files that Margaret Tante Burk relied on to write her book. The titles that Margaret Tante Burk assigned to the folders are found in parentheses at the beginning of the "Contents" field. The original order of the folders was not discernible; thus, the arrangement in the box and folder list does not reflect this. The Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove had no archives, so these are materials that Margaret Tante Burk gathered during the course of her research on the hotel and night club. They consist of newspaper clippings; Margaret Tante Burk's personal notes on her research and writing; correspondence; photographs and negatives; hotel and Cocoanut Grove records, such as bookings, press releases, and call sheets for films shot at the hotel; and hotel brochures (often photocopies). Also included are records of the production, sales, and promotion of the book. Because Stars was printed under the auspices of the Round Table West, the notable book club that Margaret Tante Burk co-founded, there is some material from the club intermixed with this series.
Series 6: Personal and Professional Papers contains some material on the Ambassador Hotel in the form of correspondence that was mixed in with her personal correspondence.

Scope and Contents

Series 5 consists of photographs, negatives, and color transparencies of the Ambassador Hotel and the Cocoanut Grove that Margaret Tante Burk collected over her long association with these businesses. The photographs are both black and white and color, and range in size from 3x5 color polaroids to panoramic black and white photographs. Professional photographers such as Darlene Hammond and Irv Antler were responsible for the photographs; besides professional photographers, many of the photographs are personal, shot by such persons as Margaret Tante Burk herself. Loyola Marymount University does not assume copyright responsibility for these photographs or other images and will not reproduce them.
This series has been arranged into two subseries. Subseries A contains photographs of celebrities and personages at the Hotel or the Cocoanut Grove, as well as publicity stills of celebrities with whom Margaret Tante Burk had personal or professional contact. In this series, such movie stars as Paul Newman and Judy Garland and Humphrey Bogart can be seen at the Cocoanut Grove or entertainers such as Ray Charles and the Andrews Sisters performing at the nightclub.
The photographs of Subseries A are particularly valuable for the documentation that they provide of events involving celebrities and personages at the Hotel and Grove, such as television specials taped there or press conferences; an example of the former is a Muppets television special (1979), that of the latter a press conference of South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky at the height of the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
Subseries B contains photographs and transparencies of the grounds, buildings, and facilities of the Ambassador Hotel as well as events held at the Hotel. Photographs of the facilities and rooms of the hotel include its bungalows, courtyards and gardens, rooms, swimming pool, and dining rooms, such as the Venetian Room. The chronological span of the photographs of the layout and grounds of the Hotel reaches from the 1920s to the 1980s, thereby providing an excellent overview of what a luxury hotel looked like in Los Angeles over the course of the twentieth century. In particular the photographs of the Hotel made in the 1940s by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (cf. Box 3) document in detail the facilities and operations of a luxury hotel.
The photographs of this series also richly document the Cocoanut Grove, the world-famous nightclub that was part of the Ambassador Hotel. These photographs include the interior and exterior of the Grove in its first manifestation from 1921 to 1957, the year of its first remodel, and then its renovation in the early 1970s by Sammy Davis, Jr., among others.
This subseries also documents hotel activities, such as employee awards or managerial staff on the job at the Ambassador Hotel.

Personal and Professional Papers Series 6 1955-2009

Physical Description: 16 boxes, 3 oversized boxes, 3 items in one map case drawer

Scope and Contents

Series 6 consists of loose papers and subject files that came with collection, without discernable original order (something true of the collection as a whole). The holdings cover such matters as the club for friends that Margaret Tante Burk formed around the astrological sign Leo, called "Love a Leo." There are also subject files that Margaret Tante Burk compiled on personal acquaintances such as Robert Young or Adela Rogers St. John. The correspondence includes some material related to the Ambassador Hotel or the Round Table West or both; it was included in this series because it was filed with personal letters or all three subjects were filed together. The series also includes black and white and color photographs of Margaret Tante Burk, her friends and families, and her activities. Finally, this series contains the only information on Margaret Tante Burk's membership in the Lions Club; she was the first woman admitted to this club (Box 3, Folder 20). The titles that Margaret Tante Burk assigned to the folders are found in quotation marks at the beginning of the "Contents" field.

Series 9, Subseries A consists of publicity material for their firm and its products, book manuscripts and proposals, and correspondence. Some materials on book development is not related to the Burk-Davis enterprise but rather to other, independent projects; see Box 1, Folder 12, for example. Subseries B contains the research materials used for Margaret Burk's book on cemeteries in the Los Angeles area and their famous occupants, Final Curtain, published in 1996. Materials consist of color photographs, cemetery brochures and maps, newspaper clippings, an index of the book, and personal notes such as lists of celebrity graves. Margaret Burk received a commission from the leadership of the Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital to write a history of this medical institution. Subseries C consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings, fact sheets, photographs, and rough drafts of this unpublished book.
Subseries D consists of research materials on Margaret Tante Burk's proposed book on Catalina Island. It includes maps, photographs, newspaper clippings, correspondence, and notes. The work was never realized.
Subseries E consists of another unrealized work: a biography of the Elizabeth Clare Prophet, a well-known cult leader. Materials include correspondence, newspaper clippings, and interviews with Prophet.
The titles that Margaret Tante Burk assigned to the folders are found in parentheses at the beginning of the "Contents" field.
