POLICE
HARRASSMENT
IN HOUSTON
It is not harrassment is the report given by our lawenforcement
agencies. This can be believed as in checking
with straight clubs the same is happening as has
in a number of gay bars.
There are routine checks of bars to see that they are
conforming to the requisites of the laws of the State.
There are also City and County regulations that operators
must comply with.
The LaCaja, Tradewinds, Round Table and Red Room
have all had visitors, some of these places twice. It
was routine on the first visit and the second because
they had been called for no apparent reason other than
some individual or individuals wanted to see business
disturbed.
There have been some arrests but not for anything
that was amiss with the customers in these establishments.
There were minor infractions by the operators
SJJC~ as letting workers serve without health cards.
Customers have not been harrassed or bothered in these
police check-ups, unless there was some question as
to the patrons age.
There have been no raids, to all intent and knowledge
there are to be none.
The gossip carried when a Police Car is seen in front
of one of our clubs is bad business .. The Police ore to
help us better run and protect our businesses. If we as
a whole work with them there is no fear that all wi II
run smooth. Don't talk unless you know what you're
talking about. Raid - Bull
ation, Palace, and Bui lseye, with the rewards have
caused renewed interest in "WHO DUN IT" and you
should hear some of the fast spreading rumours that this
editor has heard.
Phone calls and multiple theories have been offered,
some seriously and some crank.
We have been assured by certain insiders that CHARGES
WILL BE FILED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS, maybe sooner.
If you have information, "don't let someone else beat
you to the reward".
TEXAN WINS
GROOVY GUY
Larry Roger Schramm of Fort Worth, Texas is 1970's
Groovy Guy.
The 22-year old decorated veteran of the Vietnam War,
who insists "it really doesn't matter what the body looks
like if the mind and the heart are beautiful," and believes
"you can be a man and still be gay," was chosen
before a jam-packed crowd of over 800 at Ciro's on Los
Angeles' Sunset Strip August 22. He was sponsored by
the Jaguar Bar, Los Angeles.
Schramm is 5'11", 165 lbs., has auburn hair and green
eyes. He lettered in track in high school in Fort Worth
and enlisted in the Navy at 18. He saw 13 months
service in Vietnam and was awarded five medals, including
the George Washington Honor Medal and the
Vietnam Campaign. He completed his service July 10
and is now living in Hollywood.
He plans to start college this Fall and hopes to become
an airline pilot.. His hobbies include water-skiing.
About all he could think of to say after his contest
victory was, "It's groovy. I never expected to win. I
just thought it would be fun to enter. Now I'm going to
be the grooviest Groovy Guy ever."

THE EDITOR'S SPOT
Ceor Ph i l,
To start off with I think you hove the best magazine
hove read in quite owhi le. I come to Houston from a
small town in Lo., and think that it's great that Houston
hos a magazine to tel I you where and what places to
go. Houston is a great place to live and work and "play".
The reason and subject of my letter is about Bartenders.
You as well as I know that to be one, you hove to be a
very strong and s mall tempered person. You also have
to be kind, courteous and have a good personality.
You hove to have all these put together when working in
a gay bar most of all. We are sometimes called vulgar
names, mode fun of, and sometimes physically abused,
sometimes to the boiling point that you want to explode,
but you must stand poised and keep smiling. So, really
all I want is to hint to the "queens" is to treat us with
a litt le respect in the future. To many they will laugh
at thi s but damn, WE'RE HUMANS TOO!!
A Bartender
Dear Bartender,
Wish this letter were s igned by who you are and where
you work so that I might personally apologize. I, as many
of us, when upset, have too much to drink, or no-one at
home to raise hell with take it out on the bartenders.
So far as the " physical abuse" I think you should feel
fl attered to have people want to touch you, in the event
their touching is to the point of hurting you might suggest
they "ask for what they want like a lady instead of
scratching for it like a 'bitch".
Dear Phi I:
Your growing pai ns ore wel l deserved! After some three
months in operation, I must commend you on a job wel I
done in such a relatively short time.
Your factual and precise reporting in the Nunt ius is
beginning to separate the fact from fiction in the homophi
le circles.
Your September art icle on the burning of the gay clubs
in Houston has stirred voices in Dal las, San Antonio,
and of course the Houston area. People must realize
that we have come a long way since the days of the
"back door" paddy-wagons at gay establishments. We
do not need the attention that we have all received as
a result of these fires. Certoinly if these arsonists are
allowed to continue their "work," there will be no places
of recreation and entertainment for the gay community.
Again, let me express my thanks for your reporting and
making known the important events that affect us all.
If the people of Houston and surrounding communities
will take notice of our ever increasing problems, and will
work together to combat them, then al I of us have a
chanc~ to I ive in harmony and peace.
I hope that oil of the people that read the Nuntius feel
as I do, and that you wi 11 become the media by which
we express ourselves.
Best wishes for continued success.
Dear Ron,
Cordially,
LEVCO INC.
R. E. Levine
You have changed my mind about the O Ide Saying -
"Why is Youth Wasted on Youth."
Dear Phil:
First, let me soy thank you for a fine paper, and much
success to you in the coming months. I hove a couple
items for the paper which I hope wil I be of interest
to your readers.
Frankie and I made an emergency trip to our home in
South Carolina because of family sickness. We stopped
in Atlanta, Georgia at a very beautiful club, would you
believe some one estimated there was about 1000
beautiful guys there. It is located on Monroe Drive just
off Ponce de Leon Drive and close in to t own. It was
formely the Rose Room and the name had not been
changed ·when we were the re. J us t down the street
was another so crowdedfwas no use trying to get in. We
lived in Atlanta for awhile before moving to Houston
lost October, and boyJiave th ings changed. Before heading
back to Houston, We v i s ited the upper part of South
Caro lina and had a swell t ime.
We vi s ited the Famous John 's Bar, 443 Ea st Stone Ave. ,
Greenville and when stated we were from Houst ond
given the Roya l treatment by John Manley, co-owner.
Had a wonderful Drag Show. my only objection was the
short time we had to stay. John invites any and al l to
drop by when in that port of the country.
Frankie and I haven't had the pleasure of meeting many
of the gay set here in Houston, but hope to be getting
around to the many nice places Houston offers our set.
Once ago in, Good Luck Phi I! Keep up the good work
and oil you guys, Lets back h im and his staff a ll the
way .... O. K.
Thnak ing you,
Curt iss and Frankie
Dear Curtiss and Frankie,
Can't imagine what brings y ou to Houston? If you look
as pretty as you wri te can not understand the " gay set"
not having picked you out by now. Call and we will exchange
addresses - would like to meet about 1000
beautiful guys in AtlantAAA.

Thirty six hours later he was "down to reality" and
taking it more in stride, but he still felt "it's really
groovy. And I'm going to do the best I can, to do any- thing
I can to help the community.
"I like gay life. I decided a long time ago that I liked
men. I don ' t play games. I've been and seen and done
just about everything there is to do, whether it's good
or bad. And I mean ... like, I know what's going on.
The way I look at gay I ife is that I feel I ike, you know.
I' m a man. When I walk down the street, if somebody' s
gonna say something, I'd rather they'd say, 'There goes
a man,' instead of, 'There goes a queer.' You can be a
man and still be gay, is my outlook on it.
"And I think that if the people who are down on gay
people so much, if they could see the way gay I ife
really is, that there are gay people who have responsibilities
who ore responsible, I think that they'd learn to
get along with the gay people better and accept them
better.
"Like, I can work beside a straight man at a job and
do the job just as well as he can. But if somebody was
to find out that I was gay, chances are I'd get fired
just for what I do in bed. But I feel I ike we ought to put
across that gay people can hold responsibilities just as
anybody. "

OCTOBER 1970' .
TO All MY FRIENDS:
AS OF SEPTEMBER 17, 1970 I WILL NO LONGER
BE ASSOCIATED OR CONNECTED WITH THE
SCENE I IN ANY RESPECT ..
Walter B.
"As far as d ifferent people go, I mean, I love a person's
mind and their heart, and their body helps...out, you know
- if I'm attracted to their body. But it doesn't matter
whether it's a girl or a boy, if I love their mind and
their heart .. I like to think of myself not as gay and not
as straight. I'm both. But I'm also human.
"I just feel like . . . I am gay, bel ieve me. But every
now and then I' 11 go out with some woman that has a
beautiful mind. That's what attracts me in people. If
they think things out and .. . the mind is so beautiful.
c\nd the heart is right along with it. And then, if both
of those are beautiful, it really doesn't matter what the
body looks like. Don' t get me wrong. If it's a beautiful
body and it really attracts you, then that makes it all
that much better. But if you love their mind and their
heart, they may not have the most perfect body, or even
beautiful, but they're real beautiful to you_ Whether it's
a man or a woman, whichever comes along, and you
really dig them.
"I believe each person that you meet, too, whether they
give you good or bad, if they just talk to you, give you
something that you carry with you for the rest of your
l ife . And that's what makes up you_ The more people
you meet, I feel, it makes you a better person .
"I like to talk to people, if I dig them. There's this
silly little game that some people play in bars. Standing
around watching somebody for 45 minutes and afraid to
talk. I don't believe in playing this game.
"I work in a bar and I go to the bars sometimes when I'm
not on. Because l'M trying to meet new people and make
fr iends and a 11. And if I see somebody I Ii ke, and they
look l ike a warm person that I would really dig on, I
walk over to them, and I start talking to them_ I don't
play this si lly l ittle game.
"And I th ink that's where a lot of gay people . . the
world looks down on gay people for one reason. It's
because therO a lot of d irty faggots . And I'm not a
faggot , I' m gay. There's a lot of difference between
being a faggot a nd being gay."
" I'm going to fi nd a relationship, the one person that
I'm going to be happy with for the rest of my life .. I
don't mean two years, or three years, or two month, or
three months, and then somebody else comes along.
And you drop whoever you are with.
OCTOBER 1970
"I believe that I'm going to find somebody that's going
to be my partner for the rest of my life. I'll work 20
hours a day if I have to, just to give them what they
want.
"But right now, I couldn't tell you whether it's going to
be a man or a woman_ Both of them have an equal
chance.
The Advocate has this contest annually and we of the
NUNTIUS think it is g..eat. Texas must have something
as out offspring have won both the Groovy Guy and
Miss America Contests_ Thanks for the pictures sent
by the Advocate, could only run one as space was
lim1ited_ Good luck to you Mr. Groovy Guy Texas.

Although everyone knows that "A" stands for " Aged",
these folks certainly managed to overcome their arthritis
enough last month to engage in a flurry of activity.
The most outstanding social event was the "Fruit

in an infamous volleyball c!assic on Mason Field. The
cheerleaders outdid themselves in verbal ingenuity and
some feared the echos could be heard as far away as
Reisner! The band blared loudly and added an additional
"gaiety" to this already "tres gai" occasion. ( I understand
that band practice had been going on for some
weeks. Can you imagine those numbers "blowing and
beating" together regularly?) The team "doctor" was
on hand again to administer aid to any injured (or uninjured)
male player.
Another recent celebration was the annual "Country
Dinner" which is a bit like a pot luck supper but not
quite - - unless you count the abundance of pot bellies!
I'm afraid the I iquid intake far exceeded the roast beef
consumption. These little gatherings do prov ide an
excellent place to meet and greet some oldtimers and
their newly purchased tricks.
Aren't the "dikes" in this city amazing? Word has it
that one of the " A" group' s most distinguished femmes
recently had difficulty remembering her address. Seems
she kept moving furniture back and forth between West
University and High I and Vi I I age. (And is it true that
she made a few stops along the way?)
Speaking of changing addresses, " Miss Ex il e" has
terminated the marriage bit and has settled back into
the old family home deep in Homo Heights. Th is rumor
was confirmed by the newspaper article l isting her

The calendar for this month includes plans for a chartered
bus excapade to the Oklahoma-Texas game in Dal las
and another charter expedition to the Rice-Texas game
here in Houston . Even though the seats are all filled,
word has it that room can always be found for another
bus driver!
Arrangements for a progressive bike ride are in the air
for this Fol I if enough riders can get their cycles in
shape. Anyone with innovative new ways to mix vodka
please call "Mama" at the studio. Also, dearies, as
observers suggested on the last ride, don't forget to get
a parade permit for this one!
Whatever occurs, Messy thinks it's truly amazing that
this group of Senior Citizens can manage to pack so
much activity into their "twilight" years. More power
to you. There's hope fer us all.
GALVESTON NEWS
or HA VE YOU H EARC'
by Hedda Hark
First let me squash the rumor concerning The Gym,
The Kon-Tikf1and Lafittes . No! No! No! The Baths was
OCTOBER 1970
not raided. In fact the third floor wil l be open soon. It
will be called the recreation room. Hmmm, with the
Kon-Tik down stairs and the Gym above I thought the
entire building was for recreation. Actually the third
floor will have a pool table, soft {or hard, not to be
confused with cock tails) drinks .. Also an added feature,
a big surprise for everyone. New winter prices are now
in effect. Tuesday thru Thursday $3.50 eight p.m. until ?
Oh, yes, if you get hungry (extra hungry) sandwiches
are available. Bill & Walt welcome you.
No! No! No! There is no battle between the two bars,
Kon-Tike and Lafittes. Correction three bars. A new
bar opened. Perhaps in the next issue of the paper we
can tell you more about it. Some silly bitch spread
gossip between The Tike and Lafittes which was absolutely
groundless. In fact it was so untrue that the
owners, managers and bartenders make a mad dash (on
their coffee breaks - sorry, drink breaks) for each others
bars.

GALVESTON-I
just can't believe each month starts out the same
but it does. Hie always having his tail over his head,
his feet anyway. Said he wanted one with a mustache -
he got it - even had some at both ends - gad - taste - ?
When one gets to Hic's age, rank and smell, I guess
despirotion does set in.
Saturday again and off to Galveston. Didn 't get to spend
enough time last trip. Stopped by new spot on the
boulevard - sign on door - open at six. Back after sixthirty
- sign still out - door still locked. Understand
the place is nice but sure have trouble seeing through
the peep-hole in the door.
Robert's Lafitte, mid afternoon and jumping! Thought
Labor Day ended the season on the "Isle?" Not so,
good to see Dale doing something other than sleeping
or checking the Halls at Ken' s Rooms upstairs. Bernard
and Robert not in, RESTING? For Saturday night - I
bet!
PAGE 9
My time being limited by bitch Hie took a "rodie" and
went up 28 steps where I found Bob, owner of Ken's
Rooms. Yes, resting! What goes on in this place that
tires everyone out so? Bob sleeply game me copy and
money so off I went down the street to guess where?
Lies, the season must be off schedule, if not, where do
all the "cuities" come from. Kon Tike active as all get
out .. Chuck mad because dancing alone behind the bar
is not much fun. Says his action comes later upstairs
and know this to be true. Don't know just yet but understand
plans for this fine spot ore being formulated, can't
wait to see just what. Each week improvements being
m:ide.
Bath, yes! Hot outside on the streets and highways.
Where? Gym Baths, of course! Bill and Walt on duty as
usual although they do get out once in a while but don't
know why or where as everything one wants is here.
With " Hungry Han no" st i 11 at the I umber store everyone
here was enjoying themselves and not having to rush
into anything for fear she would get it al I first. These
boys ore continually improving the business - -bu_siness
is good or credit easy, one or the other. Went up to the
third floor and saw some great changes in the making -
snack bar - pool table and more rooms. Bigger and
better with more of everything!!!!
FT WORTH
Back in Houston, would you believe on time and in fair
condition. Hie on his break from the Lumber Store gulping
a scotch between gripes at me an Liz and making a
small effort to get things ready to go to "Big D." Hie
being from the sticks had to go out Saturday night so
put a pillow in the machine so as to get an early start
in A.M. and not have to put up w;th his waking up which
is usually hell.
Got away Sunday, yes early, sunshine and rain but a
nice trip as far as Buffalo, Texas where we stopped at

a "fruit stand." Reached for purse and there was none.
Cal led "Beau" at home and yes! left it there, asked for
money to be wired to Dallas, it was, and all was well.
Missed cutoff to Ennis and Waxachie or whatever it is
where David and his mother live. Picked up Dadid after
having visited briefly with his mother and off to breakfast
at The Old House in Fort Worth hoping to see the
Groovy Guy Contest winner .. Dance at this hour, here
you do - no - not with Rock, his friend was there -
Met several nice people, real girls tool This is a "Sunday
M Jst" in this cow town.
The owners of the 651 club came in while at The Old
House so followed them to the club they have. Western?
They were and it is. Music - decor - people - all out
fun - pool room - clean - top notch bar. This place
really swings - all-ways and in downtown Fort Worth.
Didn' t know grovy guys and - and girls looked and moved
as they do in th is "gala bar." Don't overlook this spot
when barring in this town.
Hie wanted someone to ride him but there being no takers
decided to go on to Dal las with us. The drive up -
booze - not being fami I iar with "D" let David drive.
Asked that we be taken to a Holiday Inn near the gay
clubs. Never made it - too much juice in our driver -
missed our motel and wound up in Quality Motel which
is a grand place to stay.
DALLACE
Still daylight and Hie wanted to go somewhere "dark
and expensive" to eat but after much bitching ate all
but the plate at a reasonable place.
Napping at Quality almost missed the show at the
Aquarius. Dressed - rushed over - this place is ununbelievable.
Grand show! Great drinks! Best shopping!
Everyone at this club goes all out to make it comfortable
for all. Bob, the club owner was MC'ing the show. Make
this "Jewel Box Review" the next time in this fun city.

There just isn't enough room in this issue of the paper
to adequately do justice to the show and work that went
into it.
Can't imagine where the time goes but when enjoyment
and business are mixed it slips away. Rushed over to
the Orchard, short for "Fruit Bowl" and met Dennis.
This boy is trying and doing a big job with his new and
very nice club. He has the most reasonably priced bar
drinks and food I have found in this city. The place is
large and well suited for the live band and dancing.
In this spot you are never alone, there isn't a single

seat where you can't see everyone and everything that
goes on. Activity everywhere and the bond is simething
to hear. Our best to Dennis and if any of our readers
want a friend in Dallas, just call this boy. Anyone
wanting to get away for awhile, get your drag out and
join the Halloween festivoties at this spot and win a
trip to Mexico City.
Speaking of Halloween - the Aquarius and Ron Sue's
are also having contests where trophys for various
things, such as comic, best dressed tee. You wil l
hove to coll the clubs for their schedules.
Speaking of Ron Sue's - just fantastic - can't begin to
te 11 what a great fun spot this is. The bartenders, the
customers, and it's hard to tell who is who_ If you are
confused - you should go there to be shook up. This
gay confusion is not real - at least I think it was some
hangover or DT's setting in before time. If this sounds
s trange, go see this place and have a great time .. It reminds
me of the card I once saw: "NO WONDER WE
DON'T COMMUNICATE - YOU SAY YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU THINK I SAID. WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE
IS THAT WHAT YOU HEARD IS NOT WHAT I
MEANT. Visit Ron Sue's if you ore strong enough, this is
a compulsive must.

It was late but upon entering the Bayou Clul:i as greeted
with a very loud "hello darl ing." Shook my fuzzy
head a couple of times and had to be told that it was
Houston ' s own Don Mo-re behind the dront desk at th is plush establishment. Don has made many changes other
than his address, Momma and Poppa Bear gave him hair
for his head and it sure looks good - yeas I am jealous.
The Bayou Club has four bars, game room, a huge patio
part of which is to be closed in for the winter and
people to go with it. Frank hos made this grand old house
one of "the spots" of Dallas. This place would take
more time than what we hod to tell all that is included
in these waHs.
The Bon-Soir - yes that' s French - what does it mean?
You've got me - must mean larapin ~which is better than
good and this is just what this place is. For the qu ite
reserved gentlemen and ladies who enjoy the best of
everyth ing, you don't have to look further. Don't seem
to f ind any particular gro! p ing of people but this must • be the spot for the "A" group or "In Crowd."

better but that is because he put so much of himself
into it.. This spot is improved \Com what I con see of it
and did enjoy my vi sit. Personel at this bar as well as
the customers know how to make a person feel at home.
The melody Lounge which is on the some street inbetween
The Other PI ace and the Dump is new to the
Beaumont scene. A good clean place that looks made
for fun and games. The girls seem very much at home
with their pool and all, too there is a girl bartenderco-
operator in this see Beaumont must.
The Dump, Thelma is a camp! It is a boll everytime you
stop in this one . Can ' t seem to find who winds this
woman up - on and on and always smiling and in a good
frame of mind. There was a picture behind the bar that
Hie had to have, Captioned "The Dump Queen." I will
run it in this paper with space permitting because it is

The now men's look in clothing of fall seventy is very
remenicace of the thirties . But c loser to body and easier
to take care of.
The shaped jacket is closer and longer to the body with
slightly padded shoulders, and single or doubled b- eosted
A more carved arm lends to its ease and comfort.
The blazer is a guy's clothing necessity. It is usually
navy blue with brass buttons, but try it in browns and
olives so with your slacks you are able to hove a many
varied choice of changes.
I person ally Ii ke fabrics Ii ke cordoroy or ones that have
a slight body to keep a nice fresh look that lasts longer .
Pants, well their importance is of great need since most
guys wear them with shirts and sweaters in the evening
around town.
A relaxed fit (not too tight or too loose but one that
skims the body) helps in avoiding wrinkles and keeps
that neat look longer. Zipper or button fronts are very
current and look great. I'm sure you will find out as
I have, that blends like dacrons and orlons with wools
and cottons are the ones that keep their crease and
require hardly any care. Some newer looks have a semiflared
leg and some have even started to revive the cuff.
Shirts now have the form fitted look in many great
colours and fabrics .
The colour story is bright and in prints just as varied,
in stripes multicoloured in paislies, neons and blacks
are great.
Permanent press with blends are great to wear and take
care of. A good basic shirt that I Ii ke is the body shirt
with slope collar and double button cuffs.
Ties are heavy bodied and wider in almost any print or
colour .
Shoes are solid or two-toned. The solid ones are a
sloped square toed with chains or buckles. The two-toned
I I ike are browns and black, or two shades of brown
together.
Next t ime we'll talk about one of the major purchases
you probably will have to make. Your overcoat and here
in Houston that can be a problem since it never gets too
cold, but is very much needed.
Any quest ions write to me . .

Hints from your
- Limping Gor,net
Hi Sweeties, 'tis getting the party season - why not give
a BRUNCH (as requested) ... the party breakfast you
postpone 'til lunch time. It's the easiest way to entertain .
with flair. It can be fancy, or very inexpensive. You can
key it to a season or a mood. But Brunch is always as
casual as today's life style. Next time you're planning .
to invite people over take a clear-eyed look at today's
party scene. And enjoy new style of Day-Life with a
Brunch. Here are some special goodies to add with your
basic meal of eggs and meat.
FRUIT AFLAME: Crain cans of large peach halves,
reserving juice. Alternate rows of peaches and pitted
prunes in a glass crock. Add 2-inch cinnamon stick.
Bring peach juice, equal amounts of water and Vodka to
boil, pour over fruit. Cover, let stand overnight. At
serving time, warm ¼ cup Vodka 100 proof in a large
ladle. Set aflame, pour over compote, and serve. (Try a
Tangerine Screwdriver, refreshing starter. Stir Vodka with
two parts tangerine juice easy to make with frozen concentrate
and ice. Serve in tall glass and garnish with
orange wedge.)
APRICOT COFFEE TART: Open packaged refrigerator
crescent rolls. Unroll and press perforations together to
line a 9-inch pie pan. Spoon apricot preserves over,
dizzle with Apricot Brandy and fold outer edges of dough
in toward center to form rim. Brush dough with melted
butter and sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar. Bake in reheated
375°F. oven about 15 minutes, until golden.
CHE ESE BISCUITS: Add ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
and ½ cup milk to 2 cups prepared biscuit mix. Follow
package directions for making rolled biscuits. Place on
ungreased baking sheet and bake in preheated 375°F
oven 15 to 18 minutes.

"HALLOWEEN TIME
AGAIN"
Wheeee!!! It's that time of the year again. Are you ready?
Well, we ore trying to put it ' all together'. This means
getting our one and only " Richard" ready to enter the
Halloween Drag Contest at the Palace Club. Yours truly
and ' Poppa Bear' from the Roaring 60's Club, are spon•
soring Richard as " Miss Roaring 60's. " This means
making her 'drag' with our own nelly little fingers . Every
stitch, jewel, rhinestone, and bead, will be sewn on with
tender loving care and in hope that our Little Richard can
walk away with top honors at the contest.
(Vie may be the only girls bar in the city of Houston, but
we try not to act like it.)
We, here at the Roaring 60's every Halloween, have what
we call a local costume party. All members, and their
guests, ore welcome to come in costume, or as a " Sup•
pressed Cesire." There is no cover charge - just come
as you want to and enjoy our hospitality. Champagne
flows like water for the best costume, and also the most
original. Come early - stay late - drink and be gay.
For those who may be intere sted, the next scheduled
show will be Christmas week. The date will be announced
in the next issue of this fabulou s newspaper.

COVER
BOY
In response to the many letters requesting names of publications
that our last month's Cover Boy, Mike Anthony,
appears in, we shall endeavor to fill you in on as many
as possible. . .. First of all we might point out that in
the past three years, Mike has been pub I ished under
several names, it seems each individual pub Ii sher
attaches the name he I ikes best to Mike, and the end
result, Mike is known as Troy McC'onald, Bobby, Rick
Ricklund, Michael, and Mike.
Mike was the Front Cover of #1 Best Seller two years
ago, which was Masturbation and the Phallus, now in its
4th printing. Also was the front cover of Naked Breed,
Cover Boy of New Faces 69 #1, in 'Troy and his friends',
found Mike with Tommy Lovelin on the Cover, then again
Mike was with Jerry Melle on the cover of Boyfriends, he
OCTOBER 1970
also managed to hit the front cover of 'first class male'.
Mike was the fold out page in the C'SI Publication Wild
One, and also was Featured in Calafran's Springtime
Youth ... Recently, Mike's Penis was featured in Boys
and Masturbation . .. Also was on the back cover of
Seafire ...
Other Publications Mike has appeared in are Mr. Sun,
Sun Rebel, Golden Breed, Young Animals, Young Love,
Nudist Youth, Sun Gods, and to make it easy, almost
every Elysium Publication in 1969.
Many of our readers did not, of course, recognize Mike on
the front cover last month, because of his newly added
long hair, and may al so be in for quite a surprise when
Mike's new magazine entitled MICHAEL hits the news
stands this fall. Mike does not appear to have the look of
a sixteen year old as he has had in all previous mags,
he now appears as a wel I bui It mature handsome 18 year
old that should be playing college football, but still
maintains that slim youthful look ...
This reporter had the pleasure of viewing the Magazine
Layout before it went to the Printers, and I must say,
it is the best ever of Mike ...

There are many analyses and op1n1ons as to what
causes homosexuality in the American male. These
conclusions vary from heridity to environment. Most
maintain that environmental background accounts for
more than 95%. However, looking at a psychiatrist or
psychological report on the matter, certain factors seem
to emergo=oncerning homosexual behavior. In general,
the reports usually conclude that homosexuals are (1)
alcoholics - at least in later life, (2) kleptomanics,
(3) permiscuous, (4) liars, (they have had to conceal
their background so long that lying comes sec ond nature
and a way of life, and (5) creative, but along with it
emotionally unstable and usually don't stay with a
profession or employment for any length of time. This
is hard for most of us to accept but meanwhile, watch
your billfold and potted plants, Mary!

UP YOUR ASS
Screwing in the ass is part of the sexual education of
many all-American boys! A great percentage at one time
or another, on a dare, or as an outgrowth of mutual
inspection of the genitals, in horseplay, or as a result of
experimentations, end up putting their prick up their
buddy's rear end. To call this anal intercourse is probably
stretching things a bit (no pun intended) - it's
known among teenage boys as 'corn-holing', and that's
probably an ample word for it.
Most boys outgrow the corn-hole stage and depend on the
conventional form of sexual intercourse to satisfy their
drives. However, there are large numbers of males, in
their late teens on up through old age, who find anal
intercourse very appealing. These persons are erotic:"ally
aroused and satisfied by anal sex.

-----------··---- ·---·
OCT OB ER 1970
But let me be the first to tell you. The world is filled
with would-be Romeros who strike out in the sack due to
a lack of experience, technique, and understanding. To
know how to physically penetrate another human being,
you should first be penetrated. To understand the psychology
and pleasure of submission, you must submit.
To know how to screw from the outside, you've simply
got to know what it feels like from the inside. And you'll
never find out from a newspaper or book. You've got to
be on the receiving end.
Techniques are simple. For that matter, techniques for
screwing between males or male and female are surprisingly
similar. Techniques used in anal intercourse with
either sex are identical.
Sexual intercourse between two people of the same or
opposite sex has to involve trust and a mutual quest for
pleasure. But something good to grease the way always
makes things easier.
KY, a water soluble sterile lubricant, is highly desirable
especially if you're inexperienced. It allows frictionless
movement while screwing. A tube costs about 60 cents
at any drug store. (And it's recommended for heterosexual
couplings, vaginal or anal, too - so don't be embarrased
to buy a tube.)
Then there are those oil-based lubricants found around
the house: Vaseline, Pond's Hand Cream, Greem & Clean,
V0-5 and Score. They create heat and friction, oily sheets
and greasy aftertaste if you decide tovaryyour repetoire.
Some devotees prefer greasy lubricants. They make
coupling hotter and shorter. However, most people,
experienced or not, prefer an easier, longer, cooler screw.
Incurable romantics and 'naturalists' claim that 'if spit
doesn't work, it isn't love'. And there is some evidence
to support this claim.
Personally the only thing I ever had anyone object to was
mayonnaise which I might add worked spendidly anyway.
But don't get too adventuristic regardless of your oppor•
tunities. Use common sense, never try to make it with
Vicks Vapor Rub or N xzema.
In screwing it's 'getting in' that's difficult. If you're the
lucky recipient, relax and you'll soon be enjoying yourself
as much as your partner.
If you're starring in the conventional male role, remember
you can't start in too slowly. Take your time. You've
got all night.
Make sure your partner is aroused. Heavy petting, oral
and manual stimulation of the entire genital and anal
area helps. Skillfull applic..a. tion of lubrication, delicate
massaging and slow penetration of the sphincter muscle
---------------------·----------·---·- --- ------ ----- - ··-- - ......
OCTOBER 1970
(at the opening on the anus) by your finger helps direct
your partner's awakening eroticism to that area.
A note of caution: until fully relaxed, the sphincter
resists all penetration. Lubricants help but go as slowly
with your finger as anything else. If you have hardy fingernai
Is, take great care. Bite one off if necessary; your ·
partner's ass will appreciate it.
A rule of thumb: if they can take the full length of your
lubricated forefinger, they can take you.
Once having reached the magical moment, you have four
positions to choose and/ or alternate among. Which one
you ultimately choose or pr~fer is strictly a matter of
personal preference and psychology.
If your partner is as eager as you to consumate anal
copulation the easiest way to couple is for the screwer
to lie on his back while the screwee, facing him, straddles
his waist and impales himself at his own chosen
speed.
Leaning forward allows face to face necking. Being
physically on top gives the screwee greater physical
control during intercourse. Masturbating while being
screwed will increase his pleasure.

An equally easy and perhaps more equalitarian pos1t1on
can be achieved by 'doing it sideways' - let's call it
spooning. Necking is more difficult (but not impossible)
and overall screwing this way is more languid - an
advantage to the less athletic.
Should things get too rough during spooning, the screwee
has enough freedom to pul I away. Otherwise, he can
masturbate or be masturbated to climax simultaneously
with his partner.
In the third position, screwee I ied face down and screwer
gets on top. The screwee assuming this position must
use good judgement choosing a partner and proceed from
there on trust.
Necking is difficult and continued stimulation of the
cock more difficult. More critically - especially if you're
the screwee - the screwee is more fully in control. It is
harder to resist or pull away or cushion a too fast or too
sadistic penetration.
The accomplished screwer 1n such a siutation will not
press his advantage and will initially allow the screwee
to slowly relinquish control. Positioning himself, he lets
his partner do the inserting and slowly writhe upward.
PAGE 22
If you're on top, no matter how delightful it feels, don't
give in to the first rush of sensation and shove. You may
push post pleasure into pain and make relaxation for
your partner more difficult if not impossible.
The fourth position for anal screwing is simple face to
face copulation with one partner 's legs resting in the
other's elbows, over his shoulders or locked around
his waist.
In this position, the screwee hos no leverage whatsoever.
The screwer hos full control and responsibility. A pillow
under the passive partner's ass sometimes makes for
more comfortable positioning.
Regardless of position, getting in is only the f irst hurdle.
If your partner's inexperienced, lie stil l for a while. Do
everything possible to stimulate him, with proper stimu•
lotion the screwee wi 11 take the initiative.
Commence movement in a barely percentible manner only
·after your partner has had enough ti me to fu I ly re I ax.
Work up to a full stroke very sbwly. At the first sign of
discomfort in your partner, slow down till he catches up.
If you're the screwee, relaxing is your pas sport to enjoyment.
Masturbation can usually enable you to reach
climax simultaneously with your partner.
If you're face down, put a towel under you and grind in
rhythm. The roughness of the towel helps keep you
stimulated if you have an erection and with the proper
movement you con achieve on orgasm that commences in
your fingertips and shoots through your ent rre body
before exiting through your genitals.
OCTO,BER 1970
If face to face, masturbation helps but sometimes orgasm
will be triggered by your partner's cock and right next to
the wall of your onus. Devotees of this position hove
been known not only to achieve simultaneous orgasm but
to synchronize their squirts.
Usually, it's harder for the screwee to reach orgasm than
for his partner. And psychologicol ly the experience of
being screwed is so dramatic that orgasm is not so
totol ly important.
4729 Mapk - - DALLAS
OCTOBER 1970
You'll probably enjoy being screwed. (Whether you
particularly like to admit it or not; it ' s port of your
inborn sensual physiology.
One final note. For those of you who just can't find
anybody - a little anal eroticism in masturbation can be
fun. Buy a vibrator, shove it in and turn it on to titillate
your sphincter during masturbation. A country sausage,
weenie, carrot or broomstickwill do in a pinch . You'll
thri 11 to the feel of your ass contracting as you come.

Club 11-13 doing fine with a band on the week-ends.
See lots of new faces at this West University spot,
is it people in that area that don't get out much or
just the dancing crowd. Drinks are I ike the company
and atmosphere - delightful - keep it up Beth.
If you have tried in vain for a haircut this past month,
Jim Woods has been in San Francisco .. Drove out and
the other part flew and drove back with him. Shop is now
in full cutting so call and see how close he can cut the
hair that isn't there?
Scene l - Ron has it by himself now it seems with
Danny behind the bar. Looking different with the new
face and understand a piano bar is in the making. What
other changes we don't know but the flock is still there.
It is grapevine that another club is in the making - a
branch of this tree - let you know when we know!
Can't believe what I heard but must be true - passed
the Numbers after leaving one of our midnight spots
and Jack had called time. Said the crowd before the
1- \ mark was so nice and relaxing would not continue
with the two-o-clock bit. Make this an early stop on
your rounds from now on - Hello "Bad Pat. "
The Gal I eon! This is another something else - standing
room only - who wants to sit down when there is so
much going on .. Les and M.C. won't listen to anyone -
have told them the place was fine as it was - but even
better as it is. The new back bar is-something for one
to see, sure takes work and lots of imagination as well
as creative abulity of which none are lacking in this
smart of smart places . Les - keep it up - MC - slow
down, with this happy med ium perhaps the pub I ic can
keep pace with you. - - bless Love!
Have you noticed the Gift Idea ad in the paper . Two
young real girls have this service available. Will print
anything or anybody you want on match covers - swel I
idea - if you have a cool one - warm it up with a reminder.
Excellent with Xmas coming up so soon.
Payne at the TW another year older - seems so or she
is having more than one birthday a year. Wanted to take
he r a belated gift but drank it on the way - happy -
happy. Left she and Jim Woods out of the last directory
but don ' t know as yet how it happened as the paper
had gone to press before drink ing Payne' s gift .. Camp
time and Sundays activ it ies always finds a j ivvy group
at this spot_ This includes Ricky and his crew or should
I say back table group - di sh - have you heard - good
to see you Buddy.
There are so many of us in business that I don't understand
our not giving our business to our own group?

ANACO - check this out for the new Mini-Theaters in
your area. They a re all over and going state-wide in
record time. They are popular as are the models with
which the film producers work.
Bob at the Mid Towne didn't go to the hospital after alL
Business has picked up so he is having to work - all he
needed anyway was to get off his fannie. Beat the pin
bal I there the other day and was afraid might have to
start on Bob next. Set-ups and cruising in this spot are
about the best - always go when I can get rid of Hie.
If you are wondering where a 11 the Drag Shows are in the
city just follow the crowd to the Exile and hope to get
in .. Frank is doing a grand job of supervising this most
active of active Houston gay spots. How he can manage
alone is remarkable, have yet to see anything but all
smoothe sailing in this be hive of enjoyment.
7 Star Productions - wow! If you haven't seen their
film, fill in the blank and do so the next time around as
it states in their ad_ I had one of these private showings
and am now saving Hie' s money to buy a projector for
what I couldn't resist. Adj ives cannot adequately
describe the stimulat ing effect of this most unusual
and rare commodity every home should have. Go see - -
it's free - I et the man know you' re interested, you will
have to have a sample to take home.

SAN ANTONIO - The Chr istopher, way down here with
Houst on . We 11, haven 't had a chance to return but hove
reports from Joe and Mike of A & A who went up and
spend a great deal of time with Chris. Say the place is
coming along fine - from the newsletter I get from t his
spot each week this must be true_ It takes a lot of doing
and planning to keep as much going in a club as this
spot has. Go see it.
It's on the way - yes A & A Bookstores are on the
way to anywhere you ore going in Houston. If you need
something to relax you in one spot and warm you in
another - go the way of A & A. If you find something
you I ike here you con buy it a nd t oke it home. Paper
and film that is - anything tha t doe s n't breathe.
Have been a s ked hod Granny decided to move to the
Isle and comute. Asked Granny and wa s told tha t the
chose was over - it got away - take your vitamines
and perhaps the "fleet footed or jet propelled broom"
will return so you can keep up. Besides all t his who
in thunder would host the L a Coja. Steak night would
never be the same, by the wa y, enjoyed the husbands
you served bar-b-qued Sunday. New p in-ba l I is the be st
I've found in a long time - thanks Cooper. One gripe
Tell John's Signs and Benny more than two can play!

What goes with fh is c ity of multitudes - there a re more
and more discouraging hopprn ings to and in and around
our Gay Club s? Scott at the Romul us, one of the more
s ucces sful places in our city, with two block eyes. How
con it happen and why does it. After closing a week or
or so bock was pistol whipped outside his club by three
men driving a white El Dorado Cadillac. "I hove had
calls threatening burning, bombing, and scene incidents
in my club for the post few weeks," Scott said. He has
employed off-duty police officers to see that things are
somewhat orderly. Other than this the place is still jampocked
with such a crowd of fun people .. The music, the
fun crowds Ii ke hove never been seen in Houston. The
two yea r a nniversary pa rty held there recent ly - best of
everything to the four of you - sorry I couldn't make it.
Our cover, the girl with machine gun - Hie saw this at
the La Boheme and nothing would do but put her in the
spread somewhere. Don't know where they got the print
but it is 17" x 22" and was reduced to this size, if you
want to see it in large size, go by this fun bistro and
a nd see it. Tha nks Dennis and Miles for the loon of your
mo ll. This bar has on even flow of friendly, fun people,
don't see many of them elsewhere so guess they find

Momma and Papa Bears - thanks from us for one of the
Houston sport shops we are all happy to call - just the
place to be. There are so many we don't have time to
spend at any one, but yours is one of our favorites . The
mixture of clientiel takes a great deal of doing, and if
it can be done the two of you wi II do it.
He, She, It - have you noticed our insurance man. It
must be true as one of my roomies that can't walk when
drinking got insurance through Bob Eddy for driving.
Check with Bob for your insurance requirements.
