Beatrice Daily Siifl, Beatrice, Mar. 12, Famous Ghosts Are Evicted From Old Greenwich Hotel By BAV1B O. BAftfctrMtfctt N'feW YORK Many famous ghosts arc about to ba evicted in Nrnv York's old Greenwich Village. The historic Hole! Bfcvoort, for Wore than a century gathering place of International celebrities, will soon be torn down. Along with it Will go Mark Twain's former home and several adjoining old houses to make way for a large luxury-type apartment building in lower Fifth Avenue near the Washington Arch.

The Brnvoort's picturesque side- Walk cafe has been a familiar landmark to tourists who for years 3'Odc the upper decks of Fifth Avenue's buses and lately have been riding under the glass tops of rubber-neck buses. Although the bidding has been i-losed as a hotel since 1948. because of the fire laws, Its' ballroom, restaurant ami sidewalk cafe have remained in operation. The upper. stories have been reserved for which the Brevoort seems to have had a soc- Jal lion's share.

J'KKSIOKNTS HKGISTEKKI) For generations this hotel enjoyed the reputation of being one place in New York whore a-Broadway producer could; recruit a complete cast for a a publisher could enlist a staff for a newspaper or magazine at almost any time. Opened in 1845 as one of the finest hostclries in old New York, the Brevoort kept a. register that reads like a ''Who's Who" of the world. 'Presidents Lincoln, Garficld and Arthur signed in as guests. Emma, the dowager queen of the Sandwich known as her name in 1ha( fabulous book.

Jerome: Bonaparte, the Marquess of Queensbury. the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Lonsdale. Prince George of Greece were among others who left their autographs. The Brevoort always noted lor its cuisine. Early in the 20th Century, Raymond Orteig, popular host and wil, took over the proprietorship and introduced cooking with imported chefs.

Orteig was-the man who in 1919 set up prize for the first non-stop flight from New York to his. beloved Paris. That was the prize collected just. 25 years ago by Charles A. Lindbergh.

Orteig the Brevoprl as a meeting place for artists, actors, writers and thinkers of the new 20th Century. His basement dining room attracted Eugene O'Neill in his fledgling days, Isadora Duncan, Theodore Dreiser, Lincoln Steffens, Edna St. Viricent Millay. Jo Davidson, John Sloan. Mabel Dodge, John Reed, Sinclair Lew- js and many others who left their mark on the era.

One of the biggest social affairs remembered was a dinner party given by Annie Oakley, the crack shot circus performer, whose name is perpetuated in all free tickets marked by their three bullet holes. Just north of the Brevoort, the old Mark Twain home Is one of 10 smaller buildings which will be rar.ed for the new project. This was where Samuel Clemens lived from 1904 to 1903 and where he completed his book "Adam's Diary." The house had been built about 110 years ago by James Remvick. whose friend Washington Irving often visited there. Although this house was converted into apartments in 1925n a bronze tablet, unveiled by the Greenwich Village Historical Society, commemorates its tenancy by Irving and Twain.

UNUSUAL REALTY DEAL The structure to take the place of the Brevoort and Mark Twain house will be erected by Sam Minskoff and Sons, one of the apartment building organizations in New York. The firm hns built more than $150 million worth of luxury apartments and hotels in 25 years. An odd feature about the deal is that the property has not been sold, but leased for 105 years. This is because it forms part of Ihe old farm of Robert Richard Randall. a.

retired sea captain, who stipulal- ed in his will In 1801 that the land would never bo sold. Randall loft his farm, which originally had been Henry Hre- voort farm, for Ihe establishment of Sailors' Snug Harbor. He wanled a home for Ihe "aged, decrepit and worn-out sailors" lo be creeled "upon some eligible part" ot his farm. But soon after Randall the trustees of his estate became convinced that the town of New York would grow northward on Manhattan Island and would require streets to be cut through the farm. They obtained permission from the state legislature to locate the sailors' home on Staton Island overlooking New York Bay, and to use the income from Randall's farm to support the institution.

Sailors' Snug Harbor still owns and administers 15 acres of 'valuable property in (he hear! of New York bordering Washington Square. Some has been leased to New York University and other parcels for new apartment projects. Filley News CALLS 'EM LOUD HOT SPRINGS, Ark, UP!

E'RE willing to wager that not one person in a hundred what really goes on inside an automobile let's take this by easy stages. The instant you nudge Buick's Fireball 8 Engine into whole string of things starts to happen.

Eight sparks begin to crackle in well- timed sequence. Eight pistons start gliding up and down with rhythmic precision. Eight pairs of valves dance open and let fuel charges in, exhaust gases out of cylinder after cylinder. right, you say, what's so complex about that? Can't anyone build an engine that does this to perfection? Well, we'd better odd, these things happen at the rate of times per and that's 100 times er second at 35 miles an hour! So it's important to know that Buick uses a deep-breathing valve-in-head design that shoots a fuel charge in cleans exhaust gases a hurry. It's important to know that all the power released by the fuel concentrates its driving force right on the head of each Buick piston.

(Everyone who has recently built "new" high-compression engines copied this "Buick But most important of all-Buick adds one more twist which others still haven't copied. Every charge of fuel rushing into a Bttick engine becomes a twisting, ing, high'compressed ball that flashes with sudden, consuming completeness the instant the spark sets it afire, And to odd this all up; clean, complete combustion 10,000 times per mile is the secret of getting more power-more from each gallon of gasoline. So we're not simply using picture words when we tell you that and only Buick has a FIREBALL ENGINE JJlat you're off in a swirl of power with one of these high-powered performers under the hood. 1952 has brought a lot of sparkling new improvements which you'll want to see and admire when you come to our showrooms. But the thrill of thrills is still what you and a Buick-and a Fireball 8 Engine- can do out on the rond.
