Mrs. Pipps and I saw a most
unique property which this
office has to offer: the Orig
inal Old 18th Century Farm
house Of Georgetown at 1888
Prospect Avenue. At one time
the property comprised 173
acres all the way to Rock
Creek Park. The stables were
situated on the present site of
Georgetown University Grad
uate School. We noticed the
handmade bricks of the house
and the hand-hewn doors and
mantels. There is a fireplace
in every room and a large, s.
room cellar. A beautiful gar
den has trees and lockwood on
a hill overlooking Virginia.

first four years, but then got into its stride
and has been rotating happily ever since.
Van Damn, slender, keen-eyed man of 40
who'd been in show business all his life, liked
the wealthy Mrs. Hendersons idea of creating
employment for unknown British talent. He

considered Mrs Henderson stage-struck but
practical, and he liked her idea 50 much that
he gave up job as director at $500 week to
work with the eccentric Mrs. Henderson for
tenth of that amount.
Mrs. Henderson, childless widow, con-
sidered the theater her life and the actors her
children, and ruled them with an iron matri-
archal hand. She supervised everything,
especially her director She had child-like
love of disguises, and haunted the theater in
mems clothes. Once the box Office spotted her
dressed as Chinese and trying to buy a
ticket, and once Van Damn found her at one
of his talent additions applying for job as
a dancing polar bear.

realized who it was"

Mrs HENDERSON died in 1914 at the age

there were AZ theaters playing in the

A week later there was only one. The

One half of Windmill dance team dug his
partner, badly injured, out of a bombed coffee
house opposite. A bomb dropped on the
nearby Regent Palace Hotel, shaking the
whole Windmill Theatre like leaf. Nobody
on stage moved muscle except one nude who
thrmbed her nose. The whole audience got up
and cheered.

Two weeks later another man
was spotted by her neighbor Mrs.
Harry Pinder looking into her light
ed living room.
The original intruders threatened
to kill Miss Guertin if she scream
ed. The experience has so shaken
her that she no longer sleeps in
her own house, even though she
has the windows boarded and new
locks on it.
Il am just too frightened to stay
there alone, so | take turns sleep
ing at the various neighbor's hou-

Police found a pair of swimming
trunks in front of her house. This
years incident was the first Miss
Guertin has had since seven years
ago. Then a prowler broke in with
knife. Now she sleeps with a
whistle at all times.

she pointed TO the one she wears
around her neck, "is some pro.

Mrs. Edgar Willing, active In
many civic projects had her exper-
ience with prowler also a month
ago.
She lives in the same block as
Mrs. Bruce and Miss Guertin. Her
story is as follows:
Mrs. Willing was wakened in
early morning hours by what she
thought was mouse in the room,
on the dressing table.
Then she saw a black round OBJ
ject at the foot of her bed and de-
cided it was a cat that had gotten
into the room. She sat up in bed.
She found that the round object
was a head of a Negro prowler,
crawling on all fours on the floor
at the foot of her bed.
She screamed. The intruder

She thrust her head out The win

neighbors. A man across the ST.,
who heard the cry thought II
came from another house where
there had been . number of ga

the call for help.
Finally he did come over as she
continued to scream. The police
came within Is minutes, and pick
ed up two colored men. A neighbor
had observed a tall Negro with a
hat on standing near the house in
the yard next to a church. But he
couldn't see the mans features, in
the dark. Mrs. Willing couldn't
identify her intruder, except that
he was short, rather stout, and had
an abnormally large, round head.
This wasn't sufficient Identification
so they had to let the man go.

something must be done about the

Lausehe Calls
For Liquor


A public hearing will be held by
the Ohio State Liquor Board on
August 25th on its proposal to
again freeze beer and wine per-
mits, both carry-out and blythe
drink.
The permits have been frozen
again as of the June 9th level by
proclamation of Governor Lausche
who declares the existence of an
emergency.
The freeze was lifted but few
weeks ago.
Sale of beer and wine on the
premises calls for a D-2 liquor
license classification, and sale OF
beer and wine not for consumption
ON the premises calls for CO per.
NIT.
East Cleveland has ISSUED
ten D-2, three CO and refused
two D-2 permits and one C-2 pend
ing since the freeze was lifted.
A re-appeal is being made by
the Euclid Lee Spaghetti House,
14340 Euclid ave., for rezoning of
that property to permit a D-2
liquor license classification. A
similar first appeal was denied.
The necessary public hearing on
the request will be held by the
Zoning Board of Appeals Friday,
August 1st at 900 a. m. in the
Commission Chamber of City Hall.
If the Board favors the request, it
will recommend the required zoning
change to the City Commission.
