Geta Measly Deal --Shed a tear for Morton Shubert, 23, of Beachwood, Ohio, who come down with' three-day measles the day before his wedding. He got married all right, but didn't get to kiss the bride, the former Ja-Ann Friedman, Shu- bert, his bride, their parents and his brother, Norman, gathered in the Shubert home for the marriage ceremony. "It took just five minutes," Shubert said, "1 got up out of bed, put on my tuxedo. 1 went downstairs and got married. Then she and the others went to the reception and I hear they hod a fine time. 1 went back upstairs, took off my tuxedo and went back to bed." Best he con do now is look at his bride's picture and talk to her on the telephone. Exit, laughing—Actress Shirley Booth uses a screwdriver to point to a door in New York's Empire Theatre which will soon come down with the rest of the 60 -year-old playhouse. Written on the door are the signatures of actors and actresses that took part in o farewell program, "Highlights of the Empire," Broadway's way of bidding farewell to the famous old theatre. Ex - Stable - Boy Was Power .Behind The Throne Just seventy years ago—width the memory of many oldster still happily with us—the ,your ger members of the Royal Famul suddenly burst into a round o festive parties and theatre -going The great John Brown we dead! The• British Rasputin, the power behind the throne, had caught a chill while investigating a mysterious stabbing affair in Windsor Great Park, and within a few days all was over. Fier eyes red -rimmed, Queen Victoria prayed at his coffin. The wreaths of two empresses were placed on the bier. Every shop in Windsot was closed as the son of a poor Highland crofter returned to the glens. But then affright ran through Court society when it was known that John Brown had left. behind a thick wad of diaries . . . and that the Queen herself was writ- ing the inner story of his life. Diaries Burned 1 _. correct association, the ladies - s In -waiting would have resigned. But the Queen wrote: "I feel in y sore -need of someone to cling f to securely ... someone to corn - fort and pacify me .. ,. s In her relationship with Brown, this ' feeling was gradu- ally • unleashed, though it re- mained unconscious on both sides. When news reached the Queen's ears that jokes were be- ing made about "Mrs. Brown," she characteristically gave him greater authority. Lesser mortals gazed in aston- ishmenl, During a royal visit to the Duke of Richmond the Queen's luggage, including her nightclothes, went astray and the Queen refused to undress, I"Well," cried Brown, when he was summoned, "ye'll snore just as good in yet' shift. Pull oil yer does and get betwixt the sheets 1 without yer togs!" The Queen obeyed. i "What are ye doing with that black dress on again?" he de- r mended cn another occasion, I "It's green -moulded!" And when 11 the Queen, on 000.01 her sketch- ing excursions, had dttlip culty in choosing a table to sit among the heather, Brown lost his tem - 1 per, picked up one of the dis- I carded Wiles and set it before her. "It's no possible to make ye another table up here!" he an- nounced. Seance Messages , Another . day, the Queen was about to step down from her carriage on to a step smeared with mud . , . and Brown instantly whipped off his sporran to give her clean footing. Faith- ful service long association, me- mories and old sentiments long .shared together .. , these marked ' the affectionate association et employer and faithful retainer. Brown sometimes stood be- hind her chair, openly eaves- dropping while affairs of state were being discussed. Politicans knew it would be futile to pro- test. He read the newspapets over her shoulder, pointing out items he felt she. should not miss. But, above all, spiritualistic seances \A ere being held in Buckingham Palace at this time and it has been suggested that John Brown was the medium. The spirits to which Brown was addicted were perhaps of anothet kind. Yet there is certain evid- ence that the purporled spirit voice of the Prince Consort spoke at one of these seances, and among other massages gave ,John Brown a special commendation. Hurriedly the Queen's secre- tary, Sir Henry Ponsonby, im- pounded the diaries and it is said they were later burned on the instructions of King Edward VII. Certainly it was on that monarch;; orders that all the busts ani statuettes of Brown scattered through the royal pa- laces were destroyed. At royal Windsor, too, John Brown's bedroom in the Clarence Tower was kept as it always had been , until Xing Edward or- dered it to be refurnished ,and turned into a guest -room, Just what was behind lir' mystery that suerounded t .e widowed Queen and her strange Highland retainer? A scurrilous pamphlet on the Queen, entitled "Mrs. John Brown," lent cre- dence to the baseless story that they were secretly married. What else, people argued, could explain the position of a manservant so privileged that he could give the Queen orders, a Court favourite who could treat statesman and generals with insolence. ' As a gtllie Brown had led the Queen's party to mountain -side picnic's, putting nips of whisky in the royal tea and at oue time actually carrying the Queen ac- ross the rushing waters of a burn. By the Print Consort's order Brawn Was soon -appointed to attend the Queen's carriage at all times. And after the Prince Consort's early death it was Brown who aroused and recalled her to lire. "Brown," she said, laughing one day, "you are better than the doctor's," "Away, Ye Daft Fools" In the highlands the carriage overturned in the snow, send- ing the Queen hurting through the air to land on her face. It was Brown who bathed her cuts with claret and bandaged her with - handkaerchiefs, Another time, when overeager crowds swarmed around the Queen's (teach, it was Brown who vehe- mently cried; "Away wid ye, ye daft fools, Can ye no' leave a poor widow alone?" When Queen Victoria was In her mid -forties, Brown was thirty-seven, a superb specimen of mature Highland manhood.
