The origins are a bit of a mystery - It may have been invented at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco during the 1920'as or whipped up in the court of Louis XIII in France - but it has endured ( at least in the Lewis history) as one of the most delectable concoctions to put on salads.
I think the truest story is that it was invented by chef Philip Roemer in 1923 to honor the actor, George Arliss, who stayed at the hotel ( San Francisco) while performing in the William Archer hit play "The Green Goddess".
The secret of this fabulous dressing is of course Anchovies...
Oh! how I miss seeing that dressing on menu's today..
