REHAB CENTER site of
rape attempt?
MISS DAVID CONTEST~
IN DALLAS
Joseph David Hill, 21, is in the
jail ward of Be.n Taub General
Hospital in Houston as a result
of a beating he took at the County
Rehabilitation Cneter.
When he recovers from the
severe beating he received from
other inmates recently, Hill says,
he won't be returning to Houston.
Hill was arrested November 5
in the 100 block of Westheimer
when the pol ce saw him hitchhiking.
They said they found a quantity
of marijuana during a search and
he now stands charged with possession.
His memory isn't too good, these
days, he said. Hill had been unconscious
and critical for a week.
"Somehow," he said, "I ended up
in the hospital."
Hill suffers from hemophilia or
bleeder's disease which prevents
his blood from coagulating. Any
cut for him is a matter of life
or death.
Hill says he does not remember
anything about the fight which put
him in the hospital.
Jay Evans, Sheriff's investigator
said he has run into a blind alley
on the case. Other than for anonymous
tips impossible to verify, he
said, each of the eight men in Hill's
cell claims he was sleeping when it
happtned.
A source close to the "prison
grapevine" or rumor system gave
The Houston Post one version of
the incident.
The source told. The Post that
another inmate - - "A mountain of
a man" -- attempted to commit
a homosexual rape on Hill about
4 a.m. November 22. Hill refused
and struggled, the source said.
The man beat Hill with a mop
handle, the source said, and Hill
lay unconscious and bleeding in
the cell until five hours later
when a deputy was told that Hill
was hurt.
"I don't remember any of that,"
Hill said. "in my memory nothing
like that happened."
He said it is hard for him to
believe that another inmate would
try to •'punk'' him when there were
probably weaker men in the cell
who would not resist.
From Gay persons that have
spent time at the County Rehabilation
Center, the NUNTIUS is
told that rapes and "gang b;rngs"
are a common occurrance at this
institution.
the impossible dream -- that's corning true.
In the beginning . . . gay people
existed. We have existed in every
culture and time since. Recorded
history tells us we were in ancient
Egypt more than 4500 years ago.
This ancient queen can't remember
quite that far back, but he does
reacll very well what Dallas was
like when he was just coming out.
There were nc gay bars. None.
There were not Gay Pride Parades.
No grande costume balls
in plush hotels, No gay organizations
working to change unfair
laws and help the gay community
pull together. No gay publications.
No gay movement.
In secrecy we meet each other
through friends and in public toilets.
We had our parties in the
privacy of our homes. We were
afraid and ashamed. For years
psychiatrists had been telling us
we were sick. For centuries religious
folks had preached that
we were evil. So we thought of
ourselves as sick and evil. Even
to this day there are those among
us who say, " Why shouldn't the
police arrest and harass us, after
all, we are queer."
In those dark days, the best we
could do was put on a clown face:
we camped and screamed and told
queer jokes. We tried to act gay
and called ourselves butch. But
were we? Thousands fell on their
knees and fervently begged God to
make them "normal." When that
didn't work, those who could afford
it sought psychiatric help. Others
took up weightlifting, skydiving,
and motorcycling vainly trying to
prove that big muscles and the
male - macho - image would void
homosexuality. In desperation,
many troubled gay people turned to
rnarraige bringing hurt to others.
Some of our brothers and sisters
committed suicide.
In 1950 shings started to change.
The first gay organization, Mattachi.
Jie Society, was born. Then
came ONE. Today there are more
than 400 organizations in large and
small cities and villages all over
the nation and in Europe. More and
more of us now boldly tell psychiatrists,
"Just because one is
different, doesn't mean one is
sick - - unless he is carefully taught

BAYOU CITY
GETS LANDING
After months of searching the
The Bayou Club in Dallas, Texas
was known to all as one of the
largest fun clubs in the nation. Dennis
Sisk bought this club in 1971
and after several months of operation
felt that this was not the club
for the Dallas Gays because of the
antiquated facilities. In looking
around he found a building in Dallas
that had been a club called the
Pearl Street Warehouse. He took
this club and called it The Bayou
Landing, this club he opened the
1st day of January this year. The
Bayou Landing Dallas has been
most successful since the first
day of business.
In February, just two months
after having moved into the new
location in Dallas he started looking
in Houston for a club location.
Several proposed spots were presented
for his consideration, one
being the old Sage Club on Memorial
Drive, but the Dallas Club
owner and the property owners
could not come to terms on this
building, as a result it was dis corded.
Two weeks ago, Mr. Sisk came
to Houston to look over the Barna
Ballroom at 2020 Kipling which was
at one time the sight of Van's
Ballroom. Van's Ballroom burned
some years ago and the existing
club building, the Barna Ballroom
was built about six months ago.
The new building had everything
new, fixtures, equipment, decorations
and all. Mr. Sisk's first
comment on seeing the Barna Ballroom
was "Jezzzzz, I didn't want
the Dorne Stadium," but took it
anyway because of its size and
location.
Despite the newness of everything,
the club was not to the liking
of Mr. Sisk, he wanted something
different and plush for the Houston
Gay Community. "The Bayou
Landing, Houston will be the finest
in the country when I finish,"
said Mr. Sisk. "I am completely
redecorating this building and will
have everything that we have in
Dallas, and maybe more."
The opening date is the 7th of
December and we are all most
anxious to see what is in the
offering for us.
The NUNTIUS along with all
gay businesses and their woners,
employees and customers welcome
this new operation to the Houston
Gay Scene.

to believe he is sick. And how are
you?" We tell the church. "If
you won't accept us as we are,
we'll start our own churches."
We march in parades, not to shock
straights but to declare, "We are
here! Stop trying to pretend we
don't exist, or that our numbers are
small. Gay is not a four letter
word.''
We publish to inform straights,
but mostly to educate ourselves.
We are growing in strength, because
we are coming together.
Even some straights are saying,
"I'm not gay, but these are my
friends."
The time is ripe to take the
next step up. Both Houston and
Dallas are making heroic efforts
to do just this. Each city needs
a building: a place where gay
people can go to give and receive.
To give help, to get help. To love
and to be loved. A building shouts
to the world, "Here we are. Out
in the open. Unafraid and unashamed.
We are here to stay. All
who enter are welcome."
Houston has its new Montrose

Metropolitan Community Church

efforts collaps and set the movement
back. We O mean ALL of
us) MUST lend a helping hand. Both
time, work, and talent. Even those
who feel they can't "come out of
the closet'' (and this is understandable)
could at least donate a few
bucks anonymously. There are ab-out
a million gay people in the
Southwest. U each would give ONE
LOUSY BUCK, not a whole bunch,
JUST ONE DOLLAR, both buildings
would be paid for with money
left over to put to work. This
writer is not a member of Montrose
Gaze nor the Metroplllitan
Community Church, but that is of
no importance. These noble efforts
will benefit ALL of us. Therefore
he is asking for some support
from every gay in the Southwest.
A handful of people are tearing
out walls, pulling nails, sweeping
the floors, wiring, sanding and
painting the new MCC building in
Dallas. A faithful few are working
just as hard in Houston. Why should
so few do so much, while so many
sit on their butts? HELP PEOPLE.
Help just a little. The Montrose
Gaze and the Metropolitan Community
Church buildings will benefit
us all - - even if we never
step inside. We can't aford NOT

Last 'motive': a sad postscript
(Texas Methodist - 1972) - Those
who were subscribers to ""motive"
magazine when it folded in July of
1971, received two long-promised
"last issues" last week. They deal
respectively with male and female
homosexuality.
During its 30-year history,
"motive" was always controversial.
Because it attempted to
speak relevantly about the church
to young adults, it frequently ruffled
the feathers of older churchmen
accoustomed to traditional
forms of relitious expression.
This amounted, for the most part,
to healthy disagreement.
As "motive's" editors gradually
became more and more alienated
from the church, and moved toward
serving the magazine's relationship
with the church, they
became correspondingly less concerned
with making relition relevant.
In its last years, the magazine
became almost completely
secular, and strongly pro-Marxist
in its outlook. The formal break
with United Methodist sponsorship
in 1971 ended all pretense of
"motive" being church-related, it
soon collapsed altogether. This
outcome was unfortunate, but
necessary.
The just-delivered "gay" issues
which came morethanayear
after' they were originally promised
to subscribers, are neither
Christian nor otherwise religious
in orientation. They are nothing
more or less than special interest
publications parading the assumed
virtues of homosexuality. They
seek unconvincingly to equate the
struggle for "gay liberation" with
the struggle of Negroes to gain
their full human rights in America
during the 1950's and 1960's, and
the present "women's liberation"
struggle. The basis of the editors'
appeal is nothing biblical or othe1;wise
religious, but rather their
self-authenticated belief that "gay
Page 2
is great." These issues provide
a sad postscrip to the "motive"
which once was.
It would be easy for persons
receiving, or even hearing about,
these last two issues of "motive"
to become offended and outraged
by the subject matter. To do so,
however, would be to make much
ado about very little. Only a person
wanting to be convinced of
the "virtues" of homosexual behavior
could possibly be influenced
by the publication_s in qui:sti?n.
"Motive's" de1D1se, and its mglorious
"last issues", do raise
some questions which churchmen
have tended to ignore, and with
which we should begin dealing.
First of all, how should" straight"
Christians relate to homosexuals
as an emerging sub-group within
society? Some means of affirming
the rights of homosexuals as persons
without affirming what most
Chri;tians consider to be their
unacceptable behavior patterns,
would appear to be in order. In
any case, the church_ cannot honestly
and morally continue to operate
as though "the gay problem" does
not exist.
Second, we need to find some
means of recovering, as a church,
the concern which "motive" originally
represented: bow to relate
the Christian gospel meaningfully
to college students and other yo~
adults. This age group--to which
"motive" once related - - is
increasingly turning to other
secular and religious outlets, few
of which are institutionally related
to the church.
To date the church has created
nothing to replace "motive". This
is tragic. If the church is to have
a future among young adults, the
need for some type of communications
medium comparable to the
old "motive" must soon be recognized
and met.

recently related to Dallas' First
Gay Pride Parade.
The male chauvinistic attitude
toward women is hard to take anywhere,
but twice as objectionable
when encountered in the Gay Community.
Lesbians are "twice put
down" - - for their role as women
and for their role in the gay
community (and sometimes also
because they're "nellie") sho.uld
know how it feels and be twice
as careful not to project such an
attitude toward their gay sisters.
We should be understanding and
fight our battles together beyond
doubt.
Perhaps the "put down" and
condescending attitudes of gay brothers
toward the Lesbian is because
they are so tired trying to
assert their manhood and maleness,
covering up their own unjustified
feelings of inferiority. To
this I would say, "be yourself;
accept yourself and quit taking it
out on us!"
I hear the howls and countercharges
regarding "Dykes" and
"butches" already. (Remember,
all Lesbians are not stereotypes
either, regardless of physical appearance).
Some of these charges,
unfortunately, are true - - partly
because many Lesbians have reacted
to the male attitudes of
superiority and won't have it anymore
- - they totally reject. I no
more condone this "female chauvinism"
than I do "male chauvinism''--
BUT if you sincerely believe the
male of the species, as a whole,
doesn't leave the work to the
female, then I challenge you: -
PROVE IT!
Dallas Gays, through the Circle
of Friends, has accepted the City
Council's "hurled glove challenge"
and their WILL BE a
second DALLAS GAY PRICE PARADE!
Women are working on it
already (so are some of their
gay brothers) - - get in there and
work with us. The COF meetings
are not social liason teaparties.
There's much to do before June
30, 1973: floats to create; signs,
educational devices, etc. to be
made; letters, posters, flyers to be
written, printed, distributed, ideas
to be proposed and implemented;
funds to raise.
(by a man)
Notice ! said, "women!" Women
in the movement don't like to
be refered to as girls, or even
ladies. And they'll let you know
it real quick. Another thing they
don't like (but until lately endured
in silence) is "beefcake publications."
Thumb through any issue
of the NUNTIUS/OUR COMMUNITY,
the ADVOCATE, or
QUEEN'S QUARTERLY. What do
you see? Beefcake, beefcake, beefcake.
Well, not always. Sometimes
you see men flexing their mighty
muscles in brief posing trunks.
Or you see men in drag.
Which brings me to my point.
Where are the women? A straight
reading gay literature might well
ask, Are there no gay women?
If so, are their numbers small in
comparison? Are there any
publications aimed primarily for
gay women? Are women not active
in the movement? OR is it, unlike
PLAYBOY's playmate, gay
women just don't post in the nude?
We don't like to leave questions
unanswered, so we will try to
answer some of them, and ask the
gir (oops) women to answer too.
We also invite you, dear reader,
to send us your comments.
How great are their numbers?
According to Kinsey, there are
more gay men than women. However
lesbians doubt this. Lesbians
say that men are just more open
about their sexual preference and
this frankness is reflected in sex
surveys. But, a recent PLAYBOY
poll showed that women of the
70's are becoming more liberated,
and according to this survey, on
college campuses there are more
gay women than men.
Yes, there are gay publications
directed primarily to women. THE
LADDER by the Daughters ofBilitous
is by far better written than
most gay publications. But because
it appeals to the intellect more
than to the groin (meaning that it
doesn't contain nude pictures), it
is not as well circulated (meaning
it's not commercial).
Lastly, and most importantly:
women are in the movement. As
a matter of fact, if it weren't
for women working alongside their
gay brothers. the movement just

wouldn't move. The recent GAY
PRIDE PARADE in Dallas was a
victory for all gay men and women
- - but most of the hard work was
done by women.
So, why are there no pictures of
women in so many gay publications?
For several reasons: One,
they don't have cocks. Two, that
old saying (by men) "women thy
name is vanity" is just so much
crap. Ask any goodlooking, wellhung
young man to pose for your
camera and he's flattered. Almost
immediately he'll ask, "Will I
appear on the cover?" The cover
yet!
But don't ask a pretty lesbian
to pose for you. She just isn't
interested in having her nude body
on display from coast to coast.
And furthermore, financially she
just can't aford to come out of the
closet - - yet.
So when we display the NUNTIUS/
OUR COMMUNITY, we frequently
hear woman say, "Men.
Who wants to look at nude men all
the time." I al.ways reply, "Well,
get us some pictures of a woman
(nude or otherwise) and we'll be
glad to print it. Until then we'll
print what we can get." '

The Month of November brought
many fine shows. The "last Tuesday
in November Mr. Kitty Keye
was the featured guest ·star at the
Glass Stein's T.N.T. Review. I
can say that the Stein was packed
to standing room only for the entire
show. At the end of the show at
12:30 the people still wanted more
so the cast continued until 1:30.
The shows regulars are Stephanie
Carr and Misty Morn.
Another highlight of the month
was when Della Reese, who was
appearing in Houston, dropped in to
catch the show at the HI KAMP.
It seems that during ."Eartha's"
number "Champagne Taste" Miss
Kitt went over to Miss Reese's
table and removed her champagne
bottle from her bucket then took
Della's glass out of her hand and
headed back on stage. At the end of
the number Miss Reese was the
first to cheer for Miss " Eartha's"

At long last, there are some
books about gay people by gay
people. These new books, more
than a dozen in all, are the direct
result or the gay liveration movement,
just as recent titles about
women, Native Americans, Chicanos
and Blacks are a result
of the analogous movements.
There's a big difference, however,
and it has to do with the
special nature of gay oppression.
Unlike their counterparts from
the other movements, none or the
gay books are talked-about bestsellers.
They are receiving neither
the publicity nor the sales appropriate
to the fact that the U.S.
has an estimated 20 million homosexuals,
or to the fact that sex
roles has become a major social
issue or our ti.mes.
It all has to do with the strength
of straight society's taboo against
homosexuality. As a result of this
powerful hang-up, publishers tend
not to publish or promote our
books (most of which have been
published by small independent
low-budget houses), bookstores
tend not to carry the books, critics
tend not to review them, and readers
tend not to buy them. Both
straight and gay readers are affected
by the same taboo. My experience
hawking gay liberation
newspapers at anti-war marches
tells me that straight men are
the most up-tight about the subject
of homosexuality, and indicator of
the link between gay oppression and
may supremacy.
Happily, however, we have the
books. Hopefully, the publications
mention in this brief bibliography
are only the beginning, but
that depends on how much the
public, straight and gay, permits
their considerable interest in the
topic of gay liberation and homosexuality
to move them to take this
reading matter into their homes.
I will start this annotated bibliography
immodestly with a book
co-edited by Karla Jay and myself.

rectory of gay groups. Out of the
Closets is a gay /feminist/revolutionary
book including articles by
lesbians, gay males and Third
World gay people. While the book
doesn't attempt to have a "correct
line," its articles were collected
for the purpose of putting together
a radical anthology. The
book is in part an assault on the
traditional left for its sexism (including
the Cuba controversy), yet
of all the gay gooks this is the one
that most speaks to the issues
of race and class. It also touches
ism within the gay movement,
though this issue has been discussed
in more detail since the
time that the anthology was put
together.
The reader will meet a lot fo
gay people on the pages of OUT
of the CLOSETS. While a few
of the essays in this. authology
are somewhat ideological (a result,
no doubt, of the authors'
Marxism), the majority are exceedingly
personal. That is one of
the essential aspects of gay liberation;
our politics is contained
in our lives.
Many of the new gay books are
personal tales of involvement
in the gay movement. Arthur Bell,
in Dancing the Gay Lib Blues
(Simon and Schuster, 1971), tells
of his participation in the disillusionment
with the Gay Activist
Alliance (GAA). The book includes
lively descriptions of gay militancy
in New York during the first
year of the movement, with
Arthur's crumbling love affair as a
backdrop. John Murphy's Homosexual
Liberation: A Personal
View (Praeger, 1971) tells of his
experiences in New York's Gay
Liberation Front (GLF). His
chapter "Queer Books" is a must
for anyone interested in literary
criticism.
In The Gay Crusaders {Paperback
Library, 1972),KayTobinand
Randy Wicker provide personal/
political portraits !Jased on interviews
with 15 gay activists. Most
of the people portrayed in this
book are associated with the more
moderate wing of the homosexual
movement. Many of them have very
interesting stories to tell which
in part pre-date the traditional
birthday of gay liberation (i.e.,
the gay riots at Greenwich
Village's Stonewall Inn bar in late
June 1969).
I Have More Fun With You Than
Anybody, by Lige Clark and Jack
Nichols (St. Martin's Press, 1972),
is a warmly-told tale of two gay
lovers and their perspective on
life. Lige and Jack think of themselves
as committed to the goals
of gay liberation, but they write
mostly about their friends, family,
apartment, parties, and trips (including
a tasteless, reactionary
report on a male brothel in
Puerto Rico). They are decidedly
hostile (for good reasons and bad
ones, I think) to the radical wing
of the gay movement.
On Being Different by Merle
Miller (Random House, 1971) is a
skinny little book (overpriced, like
many of these books) half of which
is an article published in The New
York Times Magazine in early
1971. The most interesting aspect
of this book is the story of how
the article came to be published,
and what kind of reaction there
was to it. The New York Times
Magazine received more letters in
response to Miller's article than
to any article in its history (an
important indicator of interest in
this topic.) Many of the letters are
discussed in this book. While
young gay movement people believe
that Miller is disagreeably
rniddle-aj1ed and self-pitying in
his approach, I feel that he represents
an older generation of
closety homosexuals who managed
to survive and endure without gay
liberation consciousness. There is
something here worthy of our admiration,
even as w1: develop new
life styles more suitable to new
generations.
An anthology scheduled for publication
later this year is The
Gay Liberation Book: Writings By
and About Gay Men, edited by
Len Richmond and Gary Noguera
(Ramparts Press). It includes articles
by movement people and also
by "famous gays," such as William
Borroughs, Allen Ginsberg,
Paul Goodman and Gore Vidal.
Some of the new books represent
the exclusive perspective of male
homosexuality, and as such largely
fail to deal with the way in which
gay males, as men, perpetra~e
(against our own interest, ultimately)
the values of male supremacy.
The Gay Mystique: The
Myth and Reality of Male Homosexuality,
by Peter Fisher (Stein
& Day 1972), is the polotical
handbo~k of the male-dominated,
white middle-class sector of the
gay movement, specifically New
York's influential Gay Activists
Alliance (GAA). Fisher's book is,
nonetheless, a very informative
account of the reality of the gay
men's world, including the pain and
oppression we experience. One
especially interesting chapter tells
about the unique role of gay men
as schoolteachers. Another chapter
discusses sado-masochism in
the gay world - - a taboo subject
within a taboo subject. The Gay
Insider: A Hunter's Guide to New
York and a Thesaurus of Phallic
Lore (Traveller's Companion,
1971) is a "liberated" gay bar
guide: but I find Hunter's no_tion
of liberation uncomfortably akin to

"THE REVIEW"
starring
that of the hetero;exual newspaper
Screw -- sort of the meat-meetsmeat
approach, which gay liberation
supposedly is trying to combat.
A professional approach to the
subject is made in Homosexual
Behavior Among Males: A CrossCultural
and Cross-Species Investigation,
by the late Dr. Wainwright
Churchill (Hawthorn Books,
1967: Prism paperback edition by
Prentice-Hall, 1971). He responds
very effectively to the sickness
-and-sin theories of clergymen
and psychiatrists. This book
is especially recommended to
those "social scientists" who
have accepted "evidence" that
homosexuality is unnatural or sick.
I happen to think that we have
had just about enough of straight
people writing about homosexuality,
but other gay people I know
like a few books which include
a sympathetic straight (liberal/
professional) perspective on the
topic. They are The Same Sex:
An Appraisal of Homosexuality,
edited by Ralph Weltge (Pilgrim
Press, 1969); Society and the
Healthy Homosexual by George
H. Weinberg (St. Martin's Press,
1972); and The Homosexual Dialectic,
edited by Joseph A. McCaffrey
(Prentice-Hall, Spectrum
Books, 1972). The McCaffrey book
contains Suzannah Lessard's "Gay
Is Good For All Of Us," unquestionalby
the best article on
gay liberation written by a nonmovement
person (it's reprinted
from the December 1970 Washington
Monthly).
Do I have a favorite gay liberation
book? Yes. It is: Homosexual:
Oppression and Liberation,
by Dennis Altman (Outerbridge

E. P. Dutton). Altman is a young

whose book (out in paperback soon)
most clearly offers a view of the
consciousness generally referred
to as "gay liberation." He eloquently
attempts to include the
development of gay liberation in the
context of feminism, third world
liberation movements, and the
counter-culture. Altman's book, in
conjunction with other works mentioned
in this bibliography, ought to
be read by all people who think
of themselves as politically-minded
and is highly recommended to
college teachers for courses in
contemporary human relations,
sociology, political science etc.
For the historically-minded,
there are two books of note. The
first year of the gay movement
(1969-70) is carefully chronicled
by Donn Teal in The Gay Militants
(Stein &Day, 1971). Basically
journalistic in its approach and
poor on analysis, Teal's book contains
lots of quotations from people
and publications and much detail
about events, with a heavy emphasis
on New York City. There is
also "The Gay Liberation Movement,"
by Jack Onge, (alliance
Press, 1971), a pamphlet tracing
the early period of gay liberation.
·
Most of the books mentioned
above are heavily weighted toward
or entirely devoted to male homosexuals.
In fact, all feminist writings
are basic to an understanding
of gay politics. There are two recent
books specifically on lesbianism:
Lesbian/Woman, by Del
Martin and Phyllis Lyon (Glide
Publications, 1972); and Sappho
Was A Right-On Woman, by Sidney
Abbott and Barbara Love (Stein
& Day, 1972). While most (though
not all) of the males in the gay
movement recognize the link between
women's liberation and gay
liberation, the writings oflesbians
make that link all the more real
and explicit.
One of the problems of our
movement, as I have indicated, is
the failure of many men to deal
with male supremacy. This has led
a small group of gay men to take
what many consider an extreme or
or dogmatic position. They have
broken entirely with gay liberation
and with the word gay, preferring
to call themselves " faggots" and
"effeminists." Their angry publications
deal primarily with the
failure of gay men to combat male
supremacy. For a listing of effeminist
literature, send a selfaddressed

other topics) are also published by

Labor Day at FIRE ISLAND
Here 1 am at Love Field Airport
about totakeoffonthemostdreamed
of trip in my life. Maybe the
most dreamed of trip in your life
too. A week in New York City
four weeks in Europe and back to
New York for several more days.
Since I got to go and some of
you haven't I'd like to tell you
about my experiences.
Chuck had driven me to the airport
to see me off. Here's where
it all started:
The plane was two and one-half
hours late taking off and I said
"Dear, I hope this is no clue as
to how the rest of the trip's going
to be." Knowing full well it was.
No, I'd never even been to New
York before and was a bit skitish
about getting lost between the airport
and my friends apartment
and about fantastic cab fares. You
see nobody told me that the limosine
to Eastside Terminal was
actually a bus and I stood in front
of the airport terminal an hour,
letting several go by before someone
told me.
Finally arrived at the apartment
about 10:00 p.m. Fred, the boy
I was visiting, was waiting for me
to go eat. He wanted to know
everything that had happened in
Dallas since he'd left and was
trying to tell me everything that
had happened in New York at the
same time. We went to the Village
and had dinner at the Country
Cousin (love that place).
All the time he's reminding me
that we must get to bed early
cause we must get up very early
to leave for Fire Island at 3:00
a.m. I remind him of the time but
he says "You've got to see the
Turks first" and so we strolled
to the Turks - - - Honey, this one
coJldn 't believe her eyes, such
carrying on. I wanted to hang
around but he reminded me again •
Page 8
II ...
that we had to be on our way to
the island at 7:00 a.m. and so we
went back to the apartment and
crashed.
Up at seven, quick breakfast
and off to the train. We arrived
on the island at mid-afternoon and
settled in a tiny room with three
twin beds and five people, including
me. It was cold, cloudy and
damp. I loved it. The whole miserable
thing built up some hidden
excitement in me. You know, I was
so cityfied I didn't know boardwalk
meant board walks. We hobbled
from Cherry Grove down the
boardwalk and along the beach to
the Pines to TEA. It's the first
social gathering of the day and
everybody whos anybody shows up.
There must have been at least a
thousand people there. Many well
known screen and stage stars.
There were models I recognized
from fashion magazines. After Tea
was over we went back to our room
at Cherry Grove and freshened up
for dinner and went to eat. Then
back to the Pines for tea time.
Before we left it came a storm
and I do mean a storm. So we got
a couple of plastic garbage bags
from the chef and pulled them over
our heads and headed for a party
on Hot Tuna Lane. Honey, we
trotted all over that part of the
island in plastic garbage bags that
night and it was more fun than I ,
can remember ever having. The
party turned out to be just a party
so about 5:30 a.m. we waded back
to the Grove in our little garbage
bags and fell into bed.
Sunday the skies cleared and we
spent a good portion of the day
cruising the beach taking pictures
and gathering pebles and phone
numbers.
That night I ventured into the
dunes and had one of those romantic
paperback novel affairs you know,

the king you dream about. Sex
under the stars the pounding serf,
it was fantastic. Of course, this
wasn't enough, later I ventured
into the brambles. It was pitch
dark until someone struck a match.
You've never seen so many writl)ing
bodies in your life. Then the
match went out and total darkness.
My mind was reeling and suddenly
hands were all over me, my bathing
suit was gone and with it went
the last of my inhibitions.
show me the way to the Grove.
This is all happening to me and I
don't believe it. It's like some book
you read - - not real life.
And every story comes to an end
whether it's true or fiction.
Around 5:00 a.m., worn to a
frazzle and raw as a cucumber
I finally convenced someone to
It's Monday, Labor Day, now
and· today we go back to New
York. I don't want to but we
must. One thing consoles me
though, I've never been to New
York before so there's got to be a
lot in store for me there. So
back on the "Fairy Boat" and off
we go.
THE CAREFUL PLAN
by Pete Billac
prologue
To those of you who find reality and the truth
offensive, I suggest you do not read further. This
story is true. It is of two people who meet and fall
in love; one immediately and the other in time. It
is humerous, warm, compassionate and very, very
real. It's a part of life.
STORY
From the first moment I saw Angela walk past
me in the school cafeteria, I knew that she was the
one I needed and wanted to spend the rest of my life
with. I was only 18, and a college freshman isn't
supposed to really know about love, but I was old
enough to know my own mind and Angela was it.
Her long blond hair tossed from side to side when
she moved. The scent of her perfume dro','.e me to
almost instant panic as she brushed me when she
passed close, I could feel the shock from my stomach
down. Her lips were large and sensous and her body
was lean ... typican sun-tan-commercial-type ...
bronze colored, blue eyes, white teeth.
I had to meet her. I set out on a plan, a careful
plan, because I didn't want to take the chance of
losing her. I needed information.
I as!<;ed one of the guys sitting across the table
from me who she was.
"Everybody knows An~ela Taylor," he said in a
low whisper as though saymg her name was a secret.
"She dates dozens of guys but I understand she
doesn .. .. " He stopped without finishing the sentence.
"She doesn't WHAT?" I asked.
"I made a promise to myseld," he answered,
"never to discuss a girls reputation or pass on

I EDITORIAL l
A very long time ago I asked my mother what Oscar Wilde did and
she said "nothing", consigning him to oblivion along with her
ideas of him as a man. Later, I defined homosexuals as exactly
the same as you and me except for one detail: they preferred
their own sex in bed. Much later, I made a distinction between the
generation: older women were twe2d-suited and had cropped hair,
older men were the cliche'd limp wristers and eyebrow-smoothers
who went into interior decoration. The young, on the other hand,
were still exactly like you and me, only probably more radical on
account of experienced repression. Much, much later (now, in fact)
my categories have finally broken down. The young, too, are split
and split again and some seem really quite breathtakingly different
from you and me.
All of which has confused me no end, since I - - like many others - -
need to feel that, superfical differences aside , we are all brothers
and sisters under the skin and a mere trifle like a choice c,f sexual
partners cannot change that basic similarity. Yet even I can see that
some of the ancient cliche's about homosexuality (promiscuity, a need
for inherent risk to spice up sex, an obsession with youth and beauty)
are all alive and well, under the age of 30 and living in Houston,
Dallas and all over at any rate. The oddity is that these cliche's
should flourish at a time when thousands of gay people are working
harder than at any time in their history to overcome prejudice.
The courage this campaign takes cannot be underestimated - - apart
from the psychological rejection by "straight" society, homosexuals
find their jobs at risk, physical violence is a common hazard, the
boys in blue persecute and prosecute.
"Cock sucking", the name gay people give to what the police so
hate - - the activities of male homosexuals in public lavatories - -
is an example of this paradox. The origins of cocksucking are easy
enough to understand: driven quite literally underground by straight
society, unable to contact other homosexuals, the public lavatory
becomes the only meeting place for lonely men. With the dawning
of Gay Liberation many openly deplored the practice, citing it as
an example of a minority condemned by prejudice to experience sex
in sordid surroundings.
But, unfortunately for reason, there is obviously more to cocksucking
than meets your average heterosexual eye - - it seems that
many find it fulfils a definite sexual need, surrounded as it is with
furtiveness , sexual anonymity, a very present danger of arrest.
There are, after all, well-known men with no shortage of sexual
partners and every facility at their disposal for having sex in comfort
and safety, who prefer to court their own destruction by using public
lavatories as pick-up points. What heterosexual equivalent is there
for this practice, this need? Can it all be put down to conditioning?
And from what I am told by concerned homosexuals the gay concentration
on youth and good looks, the almost fascist exclusion of
the ageing or the plain as sexual partners, the dislike and even
contempt for expression of a human rather than a sexual relationship
can become, among some groups, near pathological. "Liberated"
women have been accused of turning men homosexual through fear
of their sexual aggression. My God, from all I hear it's when they
are homosexual that they've got the real fight coming.
Some homosexuals, too, have an aggressive attitude towards
heterosexuals that is, at times, irritating and irrational (though
heaven knows, they've suffered enough from heterosexual aggression).
They tend to insist on the bi-sexuality of human beings, but they
ignore the fact that bi-sexuality, to coin a phrase, works both ways.
If I am challenged to explore my homosexual side I must be allowed
to challenge a homosexual to explore his heterosexual side. But if I
do, the chances are I'll be accused either of prejudice or, oddly
in people who dismiss Freud and all his works (gay is not conditioning,
gay is natural) of being a 'latent' homosexual. If you've
thrown Freud out with the bathwater, you've thrown out the concept
of latency, too.
All this can be upsetting because if you wish gay people well,
want to see an end to prejudice, have homosexual friends you like
and respect, then you fear for their future, not to say the present
damage to the personality that I believe inevitable when one human
being treats others as sexual objects.
The facts are that we're still a generally disregarded, disliked
and misrepresented minority whose prime need is for increased
public comprehension and awareness of what not merely 'gayness'
but warm, responsive human living is all about. .. all that talk about
better social acceptance sounds fine, but when, oh when, are we going
to start treating each other better? That's where it all begins ...
one youngster I know is currently very depressed by the values he
feels expected to adopt from people, even of about his own age, on
recently encountering the gay scene - - a sort of environmental
pollution.
And from where came this hatred of straight people ... ? Neither
you nor I nor anyone else are· any better than anyone else. We each
have our skills and talents, unless the repression of society has
twisted us so far as to-render us useless. You didn't choose to be
gay and most of you couldn't choose to be straight - - do you think
straights are in any way different, except that it's a little bit easier
for them? We are all oppressed and all brothers in our oppression
... what have you given to someone who may want only a gay club
to go to unmolested and be free of interference and insult? I'll
tell you . . . more insult and from the only group of people - -
other gays -- to whom he can relate. Fascism in a frock has come
to GLF. You go your way and those of us who still can love and know
the meaning of the word, will go ours."
Splits within any group fighting for equality, fighting to discover
its own repressed identity are inevitable, a part of that very struggle.
It's happened to women, to blacks and it's happening to homosexuals.
As long as we all realize that if we split too far, what we're doing
is helping to push the wooden horse into our own fortress with the
enemy inside.

GAZE SPOT-The
Montrose Gaze, Houston's
only Gay Community center had
its own Thanksgiving celebration
on November 19 at 2:00 p.m. in
their rambling two-story house at
504 Fairview. A roast turkey and
all the trimmings as well as baked
ham and numerous vegetables,
salads and desserts was provided
by the members.
On this gloriously brisk and
sunshiney Sunday afternoon, the
Center buzzed with activity, and
a crowd of at least 50 persons made
sure that everything was gone
~thin two hours. Folks dropped
m, ate, rapped, danced and everyone
enjoyed themselves.
Around 3:30 there was a drawing
for a lovely Lucerne watch
and the beautiful Rafael Jimenez
was the lucky winner. Then, ten
free passes to the Mini-Park Theater
were given out.
The Center plans a gala Xmas
dinner on Sunday, December 17
at 2:00 p.m. and a much greater
crowd is expected. There will be
feasting, singing and dancing all
afternoon long thrown in with the
usual madness, and it should be
quite an experience. Admission
will be $1. for members; $1.25
for non-members.
Now, I turn to you, the readers.
This is your center, gay people of
Houston. It's a place to come and
enjoy an evening with friends learn
things about yourself and your
brothers and sisters. If you have
something you want to try and lack
facilities, we're here for exactly
that purpose.
W~'ve already got bridge, chess,
Spamsh and gay rap groups going.
Also planned are Hebrew and automechanics
classes planned and
others in the programming stages.
Come by any day of the week
from 5:00 till 12:00 midnight and
check us out. The phone number is

LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
To The Dallas News:
The straightforward (but not
sensational) tone of the Oct. 6
article, Male Pair Becomes Legally
Married, serves to highlight one
of society's most pressing problems.
We may be thankful that
homosexuality is no longer a prohibited
topic for discussion.
The problem does exist and it
involves literally millions of
people. We simply cannot ignore it
or its effects upon our society.
It is particularly unwise for
p~rents to ignore homosexuality
smce they, themselves, dramatically
help or hinder the sexual development
of their children. Studies
indicate that a prime factor leading
to homosexuality relates to the
family context in which the homosexual
grows up.
Confusion of parental roles and
the dissolution of family structures
appear to lie behind this social and
moral problem. Parents concerned
with the sexual development of
their own children should actively
seek to strengthen and stabilize
the family unit.
Althouth there is no magical
cure for homosexuality, strong and
stable families provide for the best
sexual development of children.
In particular, parents who embrace
biblical Christianity ought to note
the centrality of the family unit
in the Scriptures and attempt to
reflect this emphasis in their own
lives.
Walt Barrett.
THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER
Those Christians who believe
that obscenity can be defined should
be made aware that Saint Paul
himself stated the opposite, centuries
ago. One reads in Romans
14:14 in the NEW ENGLISH BIBLE:
"I am absolutely convinced,
on the authority of the Lord Jesus,
that nothing is impure in itself;
only · if a man considers a particular
thing impure, than to him
it is impure."

oo, Angela ever found out, she probably would
never have spoken to me again.
Angela said she wouldn't mind drivin~ her car
over smce I was cooking the food. At the first sound
of a knock, I hurried to the door then opened it
slowly. She looked like some goddess. She had snow
on her shoulders and some loose flakes were on the
floor of the entry way that fell when she put her
hood down. Her hair was a bit out of place and she
look_ed sexier than I had ever seen her before.
Agam I had that hot rush of blood from my stomach
do'Yn to my toes . Her cheeks were red and her skin
whiter now that she had lost her summer tan and
she looked so soft it eompelled to to touch her. I put
my hand out and touched her cheek lightly with my
fingers. ")'.ou're freezing Angela,l, I said. "Come
m_ by the fire and warm yourself." I helped her off
w_ith her heavy parka and my eyes grew twice their
siz!) when I saw her large busts trying lo shove
~eir way out of that fluffy white sweater. I had to
fight to control my instant desire for this beautiful
creature though I had made up my mind that this was
to be . THE night. We walked to the fire. "I fexed
some hot buttered ~um Angela·: :--_-you'll like it."
I decided to use implied consent and make everything
seem matter-of-fact. She nodded yes and 1 handed
her the cup. She smiled as she brought the cup to
her lips and my heart skipped a beat. "Did she
suspect?" I wonderp,j_ "Has she known all the time
that I was waiting to trap her? Her smile seemed
to be a bit too knowing to make me comfortable."
I ' '
y thoughts were bombarding my brain and bouncing
off the inside of my head and mixing with each
other. I gained composure.
"Sit m this chair Angela. It's so somfortable It
almost swallows you and it's the closest one to the
fire."
I was SET. Snow ... cold weather ... rum .. .
a crackling fire . . . low lights ... soft music .. .
a good meal prepared and at last ... my COURAGE
was present. I had taken long enough to soften her
up . . . I had been more patient than I would ever
have gambled on and NOW ... THIS WAS TO BE THE
NIGHT. I put extra rum in her cup. As I handed it
to her, our fingers touched. It felt like electricity
passing through me but I must remember ... play
it cool, definate sure, but be easy. If I move too
quickly I might lose her. I tried to shut off my brain,
it was frightening me with those thoughts. I sat on
the rug next to the big chair, right by Angela's
feet. Damn, I found myself trying to touch her
toes. Her boots were off and she was moving her
toes trying to warm them. I gulped and made a
sound. I had to say something . . . to DO something
. . . but what? My heart was beating faster
. . . I could HEAR it. I grew tense then felt that
prickly feeling take over again like the many other
times I thought I'd make a move towards Angela.
Thoughts were criss-corssing through my mind like
dozens of people shooting at each other across a
meadow. What should I do? How can I tell her how
I feel about her? It was always easy to tell her how

how coul_d I tell her of my feelings for HER? MR. CHELSEY ST. JOHN
I felt about "things", even about other people but 1-- The silence was long. I was too nervous to talk
or ask or say anything. Then I gathered all of my
senses and almost in tears said "Angela I've
~OT t? talk to you .. uh .. to ask you some question~;
I ve,~ot to .. _." ~he interrupted.
Pat, she said in a low soft voice almost
me!odious. "Don't, you think I know what you're
trymg to say. Don t you think I've known how you
felt about me for a long time? Don't you know I
watc~ed your fac~, at the school dances while I was
dancing? Oh Pat, Angela continued, "I was al ways
so proud of you for the fact that no one not even I
was aware of your deep, patient feelings for me fo;
a very long time ... "
I couldn't believe it. I had that funny feeling
cover me again, sort of scary like. I could feel
my ,face ,redded, almost to a burn. My mouth dried.
You ve _wanted me for a Ion time, haven'tyou?''
Angela continued, putting her hand on my shoulder.
The mere touch of her gave me more confidence
and my fear vanished. "You HAVE wanted me Pat
haven't you?" Angela said in a pleading tone mak~
ing "HAVE" sound desperate. '
I was silent but my thoughts raced through my
br_ain. "Was this for real?" I asked myself. "Was
this, a~ long last, after over FIVE MONTHS, really
happening to me? Angela was so beautiful. The guys,
almost EVERY guy, wanted to be with her all bit
strong, athletic, handsome guys; the best all around
types in school. Had I, with my patience and kindness Blond, SellY and Beautiful
and friendship, won her over?"
I looked into Angela's eyes. They reflected flames
from the fire. Her lips were open slightly and she
licked them with her tongue. That hot flash hit
me -in the pit of my stomach again. I watched her
a_s she breathed heavily now, her sweater moving
hke a pulse and those two large busts keeping rythm.
Her hand moved from my shoulder to around my neck.
She then moved it to my face and turned my head
up towards her. I abandoned my careful plan and
pulled Angela down to my lips. She slid from the
chair and came into my arms and kissed me softly
then harder, then we were like two uncaged animals
pressil)g and pushing our lips against the others and
searching the depths of each others mouths with our
tongues. I could feel her large busts harden against
my chest. I was almost out of my mind with longing
and desire ~nd love. Yes _love. I guessed I loved her
from that first moment in the cafeteria and I knew
now, that she must have loved me too for some time
yet we were both afraid to show our feelings
My parents, puritanical as they are, still think
we' re having what they would call a "normal"
relationship, just friendship, maybe love in the looe
sense of the word but they wouldn't DREAM we were
actually IN love with each other. They wouldn't
understand. You see, my entire given name is
PATRACIA ANN OWENS.
...ll ■MH
openly for each other.
I lifted her sweater from the back and unfastened
her bra then pulled her closer to me. Our legs
and stomach pressing against each other.
Th!) evening was Joni: and sweet. We examined
and kissed over every mch of each others bodies
as most lovers do and then, with only sighs and murmers
and heavy breathing and kissing noises fell
asleep. We made love that night complete sincere
love, a love that has lasted until now our senior
year. We're both graduating in a mo~th and plan
to teach a_t the same schoo1. Ironical as it m4:ht
seem, I might teach a class in physical education
and I'm the one wh_o never enjoyed sports.

EPILOG
Thank you for reading this story. I didn't mean to
shock you - well - maybe I did. I hope you understand
that it takes all types of people to make this
world. Pe_rhaps this story !s not to your liking,
~ut one point I w~nt to make, is that hapiness comes
, in all shades, si_zes, coh?rs, creeds, religions and
packages. What is NOT nght with you might be just
what others need. One thing I feel we ALL need is
UNDERSTANDING. Compassion helps too. If we can
understand others, or just try to, I feel it's a step
towards finding contentment within ourselves. We
a!l try, in one wa:1: or <!nothe_r, to search for hap-
11iness. Maybe happiness itself is only for the mythical
Gods. Perhaps not being UNHAPPY is all mere
mortals deserve. Regardless, try not to knock others
~ho find happiness regardless where they night find
it.
The two girls in this s{ory have been together
for over fourteen years. Different? Odd? Unnatural?
Maybe, but they don't seem UNhappy.

Daschelle performs at the Red
Room, 612 Hadley and is a most
definite asset to Big George's
Fabulous Four.
. Just recently Daschelle won the
title of Best Professional, Serious
Talent at the 2nd annual Zodiac
Ball. She also won Best Professional
this Halloween at Gene
Howie's Farmhouse. This should
undoubtedly make her the best in
Texas. This writer feels she is
unc_omparable in serious pantomine.
Her uncanny resembelance to
"the Miss Warwick" and her
spine - tingling performance of
"Ba~le Hymn of the Republic"
are Just two reasons why his performance
should be a must on
everyone's agenda, no matter
where she may be.
The best compliment that can
be giyen to a_ pantomine drag is a
standing ovation. Daschelle is the
only minic performer I know that
reaches the goal 90% of the time.
QUESTION: How do you spell
beautiful?
ANSWER: D-A-S-C-H-E-L-L-E.
Kitty Key
. Well I_ had the privilege of tourmg
Europe this year and going
along on the shooting of Pat Rocco's
up-coming film European Adventure.
Shooting started in Luxenburgh
where national carnival was in progress.
Everyone on the tour was
encouraged to take part in the making
of the film. This helped with
the budget and seemed to be the
only possible way to get all the
equipment transported from one
place to another. Even with all this
cost-cutting the making of this
film ran up thousands over the
budget.
Several of us who are still young
at heart were filmed riding bumper
cars and roller coasters on the
midway in Luxenburgh. Early the
next morning we caught a train
to Amsterdam.
On the last day of our visit to
th~ land of sugar, honey and windmills,
we went out in the drizzle
to shoot the Amsterdam sequile.
Pat was unhappy because he
couldn't locate the boys he wanted
for this part of the film. Thank
heaven for Brian King, his assistant.
Brian found a cute little
guy, Ronald Rozendaal more than
willing to do the job. Ron turned
out to be more helpful than we
could have hoped. He acquired
the use of a small cabin cruiser
to ride the canals in exchange
for a bottle of gin. He also got a
total stranger to co-star with him
in the park. Our co-star turns out
to be Spike Woudstra, a breathtaking
blonde that would be easy
to work with under the worst
~onditions. O_ne of those easy-going,
masculine, fabled, natural
blondes. You'll have to see him
in the film to believe it.
The nextmorning we left Holland
and all its clean beauty behind and
moved on to Gay Pairee - Land
of romantic dreams. Not necessairly
a land where such dreams
come true. Again Pat was unable
to get the performers he wanted.
Resourceful me called a friend
who worked at a but tour office
~nd told him of our problem. He
Just happened to know someone who
was available, Jan Delcourt - was
just what the doctor ordered.'Very
~rench sort of college studentlooking.
The sequince was filmed in the
usual fable ~f roi:nantic Paris, high
atop the Eiffel Tower, in front
o~ the Ai:che de Triumph and at a
sidewalk cafe with an interesting
final scene in Jan's bedroom.
Fro~ the gr~pevine I learned
that this film 1s being made as
a ,comback for Pat Rocco who has

Next stop Rome. Then Athens
where yours truly was asked to
perform. Well, I have my doubts.
Adlibing in front of a big movie
camera isn't so easy. The Greek
boys who did the scene with me
was an exact look alike for Geo.
Maharis only younger. Lyka and I
were already good friends so it
made it somewhat easier. But, in
the bar sceen I noticed his knees
jumping under the table. His being
nervous helped me ragain my con-fidence.
After Greece Pat left us to return
to California and work on his film.
Maybe he'll use professional
editors, maybe he'll do it himself.
Who knows? The film will be more
for your entertainment than
educational or enlightening. You'll
see the real scenery and people of
these countries. But don't expect
the story to come true when you
make a trip to Europe. If it does,
I want to hear about it.!!!

Eyes that Mystify - Form - Face &: Figure
NUNTIUS ST AR of the MONTH
Hon Freeman " Sahdji" opened
the show at the Plantation Club
on Market Square in Houston this
past month. Sahdji is known to
many Houston and Dallas people.
He first appeared on stage in a
special at the HI KAMP shortly
after they opened. Since that time
he has performed at local and
dis tant clubs and bars. He was
at the BAYOU LANDING in Dallas
for a number of months before
returning to Houston and opening
at the Plantation where he is part
owner.
Ron Freeman has been doing
female impersonniation for the
past six years as a result of a
show he saw with his first wife
and bet her that he could do better
than the performers they saw
in California. He entered a contest
and won. After winning the
contest he joined a group and
has been doing impersonnations
professionally ever since.
At the Plantation the shows are
quite a production and very professional.
Ron said, "I am looking
for boys who have had ~ometrain-ing
in. dance to do male parts in
our show."
Ron's wife and daughter now
Ii ve in Dallas but he said plans
are for them to move to Houston
in the near future. His 16-month
old daughter Ron said, "thinks
Diana Ross is her daddy." Marion,
Sahdji's wife makes most of his
clothes, some of which has taken
as long as 350 hours. Marion
plans to open a shop sewing when
she moves to Houston.
Prior to the opening of the
Plantation Ron Freeman appeared
as a headliner at the Alley Theatre's
fund raising Gala, Saturday,
September 30 and also at the
La Bastille.
Ron's performances consist of
impressions of Dionne Warwicke,
Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Della
Reese, Melba Moore and Eartha
Kitt.
With this background is it any
wonder that "SAHDJI" was chosen
female impersonator of
the month.

THE SWINGER II''
CLUB o'f the .. MONTH
900 Lovett, 900 CLUB OF THE
MONTH is not a new club but
is new to the gay community.
The 900 Club opened in 1968
and was run as a ''straight'' operration
until January of this year
when the owner decided on a change
of clientel. 900 Lovett is in the
heart of "the colony," perhaps
being, in part a reason for this
decision.
Dispite the convenience of this
ideal location it obviously presents
problems, as calls at the Nuntius
indicate, in finding the 900 Club.
The building shown above does not
resemble what is ordinarily expected
to house a Club - - but
would you believe it definitely
does. The 900 Club entrance is
to the rear of the building in the
corner as indicated by the arrow
in the picture. Lovett runs parellel
to Westheimer and 'the 900 Club
is just one and 1/2 blocks from
the corner of Montrose and Westheimer
- - if you get lost call
the 900 Club at 528-8900 for more
detailed instructions.
After finding the "900" expect
to see John, you'll know him, he
was a favorite at the Round Table
for some time and seems to be
on location at the "900" from
12 noon until 2 a.m. closing. If
John is not behind the bar you ·
will see him at the pin-ball. Other
than this "bunnduful" attraction,
John, you will find one of the
finest selections on the juke box
in the city, something for everyone.
In this tastefully decorated and
lighted club, you will see old
friends and meet new. One of the
friendlest spots, early in the after-
