Hollywood's Famous Castle Sans Souci
...The massive front door of the castle opens into a great Tudor Gothic-Baronial hall, in which recently, during the war, 200 of our army and navy boys, with their sweethearts danced to dreamy music. ... A famous Van Dyke painting of Charles I adorns the wall above the long wide imposing Tudor Gothic mantel. ...Each of the 18 rooms in the mansion represents some special period in the medieval history. ...There are contained within the Castle, 3 beautifully furnished apartments, to be let to desirable tenants.
