Guests were greeted as they
arrived by a colorful show
boat parked in the hotel
driveway, a sign over the
front door announcing
Lovely Louisiana" and two
gay posters on either side
heralding the fun within.
The ballroom suggested a
New Orleans street scene in
Mardi Gras season, with
multi-colored awnings ex-
tending from one wall to a
row of old-fashioned street
lamps.
On the opposite wall was
D big painting Of an old
Southern showboat and a

for the Chamberlain to blow
his horn.
A few announcements

His Majesty appeared.
A man with a youthful
face looked out from behind

liants and matching mantle
that trailed for yards and
yards.
He was Mr.. Kevin Patrick
Reilly, president Of the La

part with relish. waving his
scepter very slowly. very
grandly over his subjects, as
he inched his way down the
