MISCELLANY

 Time again for a round-up of items not quite worthy of a post, but worthy of at least a mention.

We came upon this can of Tudor Beer recently and wondered if it had anything to do with Tudor City. The unfortunate answer is no. Brewed in Trenton, NJ, it was for the A&P food chain ‒ in fact, it was their "premium quality" beer. One user said its taste was like "bad apple cider, without hops." Oh, well.    




A listing of all the things Tudor City had to offer, circa 1930, which was posted in all the rooms of Hotel Tudor.  





A rare matchbook cover, in black and blue, its back side plugging the Hotel Everglades in Miami. Hotel Everglades was built by the French Company in 1926, and for reasons long forgotten, it was on the cover of Tudor City Service in January, 1936, January, 1937 and January, 1938. We suspect the matchbook dates from then.




Yet another photograph of the production of "The Queen at Stratford," put on by the students of Miss Travers school in the North Park.    

PARTICIPATING IN TABLEAUX
Children of Tudor City, New York City, participated in a tableaux, "The Queen at Stratford", held under the direction of Miss Travers in the North Park of Tudor City. Little Ruth Pryor is daughter of Arthur Pryor, son of the famous bandleader. She took the part of the "Queen" while William Walker shown with her took the part of William Shakespeare.

    Tudor City Store - I'm guessing it's where the store was a few years ago and now the St Albans Church

    Tudor City Restaurant - steakhouse?

    Travel agency and WU - guessing where the real estate and accountants offices are now.

    It's amazing that businesses change, but not that much and still use the same spaces.

    It's amazing how businesses change and the dollar has no value.
