Daeida Magazine is named in honor of Mrs. Daeida Wilcox Beveridge,
the woman who gave Hollywood its cinematic namesake. Legends
recount a train trip back east in the 1800's and of a particular
encounter en route between Daeida and a fellow passenger who
enchanted her listener with the tale of an idyllic home called
"Hollywood," near Chicago. Upon returning to Los Angeles, amongst
the bags and parcels of her recent travels, Mrs. Beveridge carefully
unpacked that magic word - Hollywood - and bestowed it to the
world outside her windows on Prospect Avenue.
In the spirit of her inspired style, our magazine is named for her.
