Agua Caliente

 spectacled birthday, Adrienne Ames


Actress Adrienne Ames and Bruce Cadot sunbathing in Agua Caliente, Mexico. Hotel Agua Caliente was a grand, first-class resort which began construction in the 1920s and attracted Americans who could easily drive there from Southern California, including Hollywood elite. It had legalized alcohol during Prohibition in the USA, as well as legal gambling. All of this ended abruptly when the new president of Mexico outlawed gambling and expropriated the entire resort from its American developers.
