On August 23, 2005 a great guy by the name of Jerry Rothstein sent me a ton of rare info on the family history of Arthur Lake. Here is what he had to say:
"Hi Blair,
Great website!!! Anyway...I found some information on Arthur Lake's (Silverlake) family on the 1910, 1920, and 1930 U.S. Census' I'm sure you would like. The 1910 U.S. Census lists the Silverlake family- Arthur Sr.; Edith; Arthur Jr. (age 4); and Florence (age 5)- all living with Edith's father and mother, William and Alora Scott. William Scott is listed as a trapeze artist, and Arthur Silverlake, Sr. is listed as an actor; Edith is listed as having no occupation.
This 1910 Census was done while the Silverlake family was living in Mobile, AL; and the whole family is listed as being born in Alabama. The U.S. Census' are never accurate!
Coming now to the 1920 U.S. Census, Edith Silverlake is now listed as a widow and the owner of a shoe store!! Arthur Jr. and Florence are listed as ages 12 and 15. The birthplaces on this 1920 census for Edith, Arthur Jr., and Florence are now listed as accurate- Edith from Tennessee, Arthur Jr. from Kentucky, and Florence from South Carolina. This census was done with the Silverlakes living in Nashville, TN (I guess Edith's home town?).
Even though Arthur and Florence Lake wer established motion picture actors, the 1930 U.S. Census lists them still living with their mother Edith in Los Angeles, and still going under the surname of "Silverlake". Edith is listed as "Head" of household with no occupation, and Arthur and Florence are listed as motion picture actors. Their birthplaces are listed accurately in Tennessee, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
Since I'm doing my own family genealogy, and being a great fan of Arthur Lake, I thought I would look up the Silverlakes on the available U.S. census'. It's quite apparent there is information that was never known before- like Arthur Lake's father was Arthur Silverlake Sr. and Edith's father William Scott a trapeze artist. Since Arthur Silverlake Sr. was listed as an actor, it makes me wonder if Arthur Lake's immediate family were members of the Flying Silverlakes? Let me know how you liked this information. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jerry Rothstein

Of course I love this
information! Thanks,
Jerry, for being a fan and for all your fine research! Since this
first e-mail, Jerry and I have corresponded several times and he's
actually helped me research my own family history!
