"The oft-married American actress , who became a household name in the 1890s for her delightful performances at “Lady Teazle” and other musical comedies of the day, was frequently a luncheon guest of at the Plaza. But she didn't come alone. She wheeled up to the hotel's steps on her diamond-studded bicycle which a few years earlier had helps her shed nearly 30 pounds of her ample girth. She usually left her bejeweled bicycle with the doorman, who put it behind lock and key in a luggage room to the right of the entrance."
