TEEING OFF * WITH deNISSOFF
W. D. little
Speaks to Lions
W. D. Little of Fair Bluff was
the speaker at the bi-monthly
Pinehurst Lions Club meeting,
held last Wednesday evening at
Laverne’s Grill.
The speaker is a representative
of District 31-F, of which the lo
cal club is a part, with the Eye
Bank Commission headquarters
in Winston-Salem. He told the
group procedures for willing their
eyes to the Commission.
Holly Sunuftets
An article in the Cracker Barrel
of May 9 reminded us that this is
actually not the first year the
Holly Inn has been open all sum
mer. It was, as the Barrel pointed
out, open to officers and their
families during World War II and
also, as a research center.
How could we have forgotten
those two summers when old
friends turned up at Bragg
Camp Mackall, almost invariably
in the enlisted ranks, thereby au
tomatically making the Holly off-
limits to them, and to us when
with them—so if we dined out,
we dined out at restaurants, feel
ing bitterly discriminated against.
The first “beatnik-types” we
ever saw were the Conscientious
Objectors who spent a summer at
the Holly as voluntary guinea
pigs in an experimental project
to discover the cause and possible
cure of atypical pneumonia.
These bearded CD’s spent
weeks in isolation in their rooms
and were often seen perched on
the roof outside their windows.
They tied the hotel switchboard
up in knots for hours on end,
playing chess by telephone (a
game many learned in jail where
they were first placed because the
government was at a loss what to
do with them). They even got out

30th Anniversary
The Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festi'
val, we note, will shortly begin its
30th summer at Lee, Mass, under
founder-director Ted Shawn. We
also notice from one of the Pine
hurst Playhouse programs that
Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis,
whom he married and subse
quently divorced, presented the
Denishawn Dancers in February
of 1929—at the Pinehurst Thea
tre.
The remarkable pair (in her
80’s now, St. Denis still occasion
ally dances) began, not only the
Festival that yearly attracts in
ternational dance notables as
stars, but, of even greater import
ance, they founded the university
at Lee where a distinguished staff
of teachers trains pupils in the
art of modern and classic dance.
The Week It Snowed
Three years earlier, in ’26,
Gloria Swanson, the same play
bill reminded us, attended theatre
performances while here for the
filming of a movie made near the
village.
We happened to be at The Car
olina at the same time with our
family, and while we remember
nothing as we were somewhat
young, we did hear that a gay
time was had by the star and her
crew
The picture-taking was held up
by one of those rare Pinehurst
freaks of nature—a snow storm,
but while the storm raged with
out, the social life was fairly hec
tic within the hotel and in the
village, as the movie queen was
feted.
She was accompanied by her
then husband, the Marquis de la
Falaise—^he threatened to stay in
their New York apartment but
she prevented that by locking all
his evening clothes in her trunk
—so with typical French philoso
phy, he decided to go along to
Pinehurst since he couldn’t go out
on the town of New York sans
evening attire.
The snow remained on the
ground for over a week and the
movie company, in despair, with
costs soaring like those of “Cleo
patra” now sending directors into
frenzies in Rome, fiijally called
out the Pinehurst Fire Depart
ment.
The offending snow was cleared
with fire hoses off a portion of
the proposed site of the filming
and the crew loaded saddles for
the riding scenes onto trunks,
took them to the cleared area,
and were able to “fake” some
scenes with closeups of the stars.
Rites Held for
Eugene McKenzie
Eugene McKenzie, 73, of Pine
hurst, died Saturday. Funeral
services were held Monday at
Culdee Presbyterian Church by
the Rev. R. L. Prince. Burial was

Greensboro; one son, Eugene K.
McKenzie of Southern Pines; five
grandchildren; three sisters, Mrs.
Ernest Ledbetter, Mrs. James Du
pree and Miss Bethel McKenzie;
and one brother, John K. McKen
zie, all of West End.
LEASE COTTAGES
The Richard S. Taylors and
their seven-year-old daughter,
Susan, who have been living in
the Wellesley Apartments here
since late March, will move June
1 into the Sally cottage on Short
Road.
Mr. Taylor came here to take
over the associate editorship of
Golf World after Eddie Ervin left
that position for the job of public
information manager of the
USGA in New York. The Taylors
came from West Palm Beach
where he was golf writer for the
Palm Beach Post-Times.
Mr. and Mrs. George Pearson
and small son who have been oc
cupying the Lloyd Smith apart
ment, have leased the Sally cot
tage on Orange Road where they
plan to move June 1.
Both rentals were arranged by
the Col. George P. Hawes Agen
cy.
Legion Auxiliary Plans
Meet with Legionnaires
Meeting Wednesday night at the
Legion Hut, the American Legion
Auxiliary, with President Mrs.
George Hunt presiding, made
plans for a joint dinner and in
stallation of officers meeting with
the Legionnaries May 24.

ganized West End Legion Auxili

cellent local sale of poppies on
Poppy Day, April 21, in Pinehurst.

HOLE-IN-ONE
Scoring the third hole-in-one of

May 9 was Mrs. Arthur M. Ahrens
of Garden City, Long Island, who
used a three-iron to send the ball
into the cup on the seventh hole
of Number One Course at the
