Photograph was edited for publication purposes Gino Corrado's restaurant, Gino's, was located at 19727 Ventura Boulevard in Tarzana. Photograph article dated November 4, 1960 partially reads, "Aramis is a little heavier now. His hair has receded some and is streaked with gray. But the dash and humor of writer Alexander Dumas' famed musketeer is still evident in Gino Corrado, a West Valley restaurateur who portrayed the swashbuckling cavalier in silent pictures. Corrado, 4136 Dixie Canyon Ave., Sherman Oaks, considers Aramis his favorite movie role although he is more popularly identified with the dapper, suave headwaiter whom he played in scores of films...Basing his approach on the image he had created as the perfect headwaiter in pictures such as 'Gone With the Wind,' 'Top Hat' and 'The Pretty Girls,' Corrado became a host in an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills. "I became very successful,' he said, matter-of-factly, 'and saw possibilities of opening my own restaurant.' Five years ago he opened his own restaurant in Tarzana."
