Beatles Fans Find Hideaway

August 24, 1965

If the Beatles are trying to hide from their teenage faithful at 2850 Benedict Canyon Drive, they're only partially successful. The young fans yesterday swarmed to the supposedly secret hideaway following the arrival of the singers at  International Airport at about 3am Monday.

Security officers guarded the state, but police were harried by calls from neighbors complaining of traffic, crowds, and noise. It was to make a casual observation that the same old situation was as in yore.

 A year ago, The Beatles disturbed the calm of the Southland when they arrived to make a series of public appearances. Now they've returned to perform on Sunday and Monday at the Hollywood Bowl. Both shows, incidentally, have long been sold out.

 Ever faithful, the teenagers scurried around yesterday until one or two other enterprising teens came up with the Benedict Canyon address. From then on, there was no peace. They milled around the gate to the estate in a futile attempt to catch glimpses of their idols.

Tonight, Alan W Livingston, president of Capitol Records, is tossing a private cocktail party for them. One that includes many entertainment greats on the guest list, as the Beatles are reportedly scheduled to host two parties this week. Thus, pandemonium has returned to the Southland, even the Citizen News is being plagued by phone calls about the Beatles, from their countless teenage admirers
