A Celebration of Miss Chase
F
By Cheri Rae
rom all indications, Miss Pearl Chase liked celebrating
her birthday. As the story goes, she invited members of
the community who were fellow Scorpios to join her in
a celebration each year. And the Santa Barbara community
threw her big parties on her 80th and 90th birthdays.
So it’s only fitting that the Pearl Chase Society would join
in the fun: last year, on her 125th, it was a big celebration,
complete with a memorable skit and the debut of the clever
ditty, “Spanish Revival,” penned by Erin Graffy.
This year, Kellam de Forest was determined to keep the
tradition going; he enlisted the assistance of some friends and
Board members for a smaller, yet still meaningful observance.
Thank you to Barbara Boyd, Sue Adams and Kitty Peri for
their help, as well as the spirited—and quite talented—
Erin Graffy who returned in her role as Miss Pearl Chase.
Suffice to say, Erin’s re-work of “It Ain’t Necessarily
So” is (likely) the first song ever to include the words
“abbatoir,” “Mirasol” and “Moreton Bay.” And as
she noted, in the proper character of Miss Chase,
“It Ain’t Necessarily So” must be rephrased as
“It surely is not necessarily so.”
Arnoldi’s was a great location for the event, which
attracted community members including President of the
Lutah Maria Riggs Society Gretchen Lieff and her husband
Robert Lieff; our new president and CEO of the Natural
History Museum, Luke Swetland; former City Parks
Supervisor and County Parks Director Mike Pahos (who
worked with Miss Chase), and many other friends and
members of the Pearl Chase Society.
It was a festive evening, made all the more memorable
because we also celebrated Kellam’s recent 88th birthday.
We look forward to next November 16th.

A proper birthday celebration, complete with Pearl’s Girls—Erin Graffy and Barbara Boyd decked out in yards of pearls—
exquisite roses from the Lieff’s garden, and the recognition of Kellam de Forest’s recent 88th birthday.
42-foot high, 33-unit apartment building project on Sola Street
next to the Arlington Theater took another step towards
acceptance by the HLC November 19. Remaining issues relate
to making the building appear to be three separate structures
by varying the window frame colors and tile on the roof. The
55-foot-high elevator tower, although not visible from Sola
Street, needs a finial. The historic Arlington Hotel garden gate
still is isolated on Sola and Chapala.
1626 Santa Barbara Street. Post/Hazeltine has prepared a
Phase 1 Historic structures report. The house was built in
1904 in the American Eclectic style. Following the report’s
recommendation, the HLC asked that the house be deemed
a Structure of Merit along with its historic stonewalls and
the large ficus tree. The proposed addition of a ground floor
master and three-car attached garage with a second story was
considered inappropriate. The ficus is to remain.
