California Life Magazine
California Life was a magazine published weekly by
a syndicate of Pasadena Hotels to promote the good life
and document High Society doings in and around the Pasadena Hotels,
during the first few decades of the 20th century. We're not
sure of the exact range of publication dates, but we've seen
issues from approximately 1910 through 1930, and its volume
numbering suggests it goes back to 1903. In its earliest
years (at least in 1910-1911) it was known as Maryland
Hotel Life.
In January, 2006, we scoured all the copies available at the Pasadena
Public Library. We found no references to Archie M. Andrews in
any of the following issues:
- May 1, 1920
- Dec 25, 1920
- Jan 22, 1921
- Feb 26, 1921
- May 21, 1921
- May 28, 1921
- May 13, 1922 through May 12, 1923 (minus missing issues Apr 21 and 28, 1923)
- Nov 3, 1923 through May 3, 1924 (minus missing issue Mar 15, 1924)
- Nov 15, 1924 through May 2, 1925
In addition, on other occasions we've checked a few other issues
we've managed to get our hands on. Again, these contain no
references to Archie M. Andrews:
- Nov 12, 1910 (Maryland Hotel Life)
- Jun 3, 1911 (Maryland Hotel Life)
- Mar 1, 1930
- Apr 15, 1930
- May 1, 1930
- Mar 15, 1930
Below are the references we did find to Archie M. Andrews, or enterprises in
which he was involved, in issues available at the Pasadena
Public Library in January, 2006.

"...rejuvenated course of the Old Altadena Club,
now known the world over as the Pasadena Golf
Club. Through the courtesy of its President, Mr.
A.M. Andrews, tournaments of all descriptions were
held from time to time and many more of much
importance are in the air. And every one of them has
been a huge success. Especially grateful to Mr.
Andrews are the many prominent professional
players that have been guests of the genial President
and as Honorary Secretary-Treasurer of the Southern
California Professional Golfers Association I [D. Scott
Chisolm] have had cause to convey the sincere thanks
of its members to Mr. Andrews."

"It was the fertile brain of A.M. Andrews that
conceived the idea of holding a left handed golfers'
tournament and through the courtesy of the Board of
Directors of the Pasadena Gold Club, said tournament was
staged at their course on Sunday, the twentieth day of
February."
