LAMBS “WASHING” NADE BG SUGEESS BY TAXICAB A Mad Plenty of Games, but ‘There’d Been No “Wash- ing” but for That Taxi, By Bide Dudley. Little Neck Bay is a quiet spot on Long Island just thirty-five cents from Bay Side by taxicab, The waves wash the shore in a soothing way and Bow and then an ooglefish or a gwa- Polodis «ends a ripple over the sur- face of the Yay, but always in a @weet, gentle manner, but death and income Nothing else x has hap- Pened at this quiet little spot in ex- actly nincty-three years. That is, nothing else had happened until yes- terday. And then the Lambs—the acientific name ig actoribus Broad- Wayibus—swooped down on Little Neck Bay and twisted its tail all out of shape, The occasion was a “wash- ing,” the same being a helluva time with the accent on the “w." The occasion for the “washing” was Clay M. Thirteen years ago Mr. Greene had supervised an affair of the same sort on the very prop- erty where it was held yesterday. At reenc that time he owned said spot. Then he went to California to die, re- Covered and went into the movies. Recently, he returned and the Lambs decided They were Mr wus the guest of honor and he began fo be honored about 10 A. M. At 10 P.M. last night the Lambs decided he had been honored another “wa shing” was due. absolutely right, say we. Greene enough and many of them reached home all hunky dory Wow! B » we describe how a “wash- ing’ the spot where operates, permit us to say that yesterday's event was held is now owned by John Golden, thgatrical producer and manager. Mu Greene sold it years ago and after it had skidded from owner to owner, Mr. Golden bought it. He hadn't owned it long until al ume Mr, Greene and the ‘washing’ happened, Yea bo! Weill, anyway, 250 Lambs accepted Mr. Golden's invitation to visit the old “washing” ground and a fine time was had by all, The crowd was on hand by 11 A. M, and from that time on not a dull moment was experienced by anybody. Bert Brown, Shepherd of the Lambs, arrived early and began to ‘‘wash,"’ He noticed a suspicious- looking automobile standing near the Golden place and drawing himself up to his full hei t asked: “What's that? He was immediately Al Waldron, Charley und several hangers-on, informed by McNaughton and he went away wondering what the boys in the back room were having: couldn't Keep the secret and soon thi auto entirely lambs.

He simply walked away with that ra second prize relish. Whee! Next the Lambs, realizing that they in for the collecting of spuds. of were ec. Elliott Nugent won and drank it with a must “wash,” fixed up a hoop race. This one went to Percy Hilton, who rolled with admirable skill, The contest was full of roller skates, but ey just coudn't touch Perey, whose by the way, belies him. Hal Forde was second. He is a very graceful hoop-roller, but his syntax didn't quite jibe with his past par- uciple. After this affair there was a baseball game, Great Neck played the All-American team. Donald Brian pitched for Great Neck and his aide won by a score of 7 to 6, Joe Herbert jr. was catcher for one of the teams and busted his hands. He caught some of the balls on his head, but at times, of course, he had to u his hands and thus it was they were bunged all up. Yee-ho! About 2 o'clock the principa of the ‘‘washing’’ came to pass. A playlet culled “As You Prefer It," written by Clay M. Greene and George V. Hobart, was acted under the trees hy a cast made up of Tom Lewis Horace Braham, Frank Moulan, George Drury Hart, Arthur Ayles- worth, Bertram Marburgh and Louis Kimball. Mr. Lewis, looking like a green roos ried off the major portion of the honors because he cer- talply was a sight. “Ha, ha," one jamb would say, when he saw Tom, event THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 1922, Present Day Booths, Barretts and McCulloughs Who Disported Themselves at Lambs’ “Washing’’ BARNEY BERNARD d BRIAN Pircned GAME FOR THE GREAT SS == Win DEMING \SOoKED FOR Gto Vv HOBART wn Y Count sie Rx SHEPHERD WON THE WINNING WILLARD OR CAT AND CANARY FAME THR WASH" econd’s would and without a tional ‘ha, other Lambs. delay addi- has’ come from The story of the play was this: A poor girl with blonde hair was walking in the woods of Scandinavia when a long haired old man heard she was in the and began to cut yup didoes, A jester (Tom Lewis) decided something was wrong and appeared on, the s ready to grab the girl him- self, Now, he might have succeeded but a man with white whiskers ar- rived and decided the girl was but a mere child and should be permitted to return to the serve-self restaurant where she worked. Naturally this made some of the old guys sore, but what could they vicinity do? ‘They protested, but the man with the whiskers merely grinned as he plaited his beard, The climax came when the girl tted to beat it and Charley ughton went to sleep just south of the audi- ence. The play made such a hit that au- thors Green and Hobart were called before the assemblage and urged to Mr. Greene said it was simply nd to be back on the old “washing” ‘ound after thirteen years of hell in the movie business. Mr. Hobart pointed out that the lines in the jaylet. were humdingers and then called John Golden out of the growd John made a speech that branded him as a regular fellow and tt cheers that greeted him were a rei tribute. After the show was over the crowd repaired to the alfalfa field where dinner was served at long tables, There was much singing, Joseph Herbert sr, particularly dis- tinguishing himself with his high falsetto antidote tenor. A few of the Lambs who deserve special mention for ‘their skill at “washing” are Ben Greenhut, known as One-Bottle Ben; Jack Hazzard, an ‘HOT TIME’ ALL WEEK IN FREEPORT FOR STATE FIREMEN Parades, Boxing Shows and Cireus for the 4,000 Visiting Delegates.
