Saturday August 1, 6pm
HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO PRESENT
"MURDER AT THE TUDOR"

The Rim of the World Historical Society is preparing to stage a 
murder mystery lampoon and a buffet dinner at the historic Tudor 
House Saturday, August 1 from 6 pm through 9 pm. It promises to be a 
full evening of fun and wonderful food.

             The gala event is a fundraiser for the Society's Museum 
of San Bernardino mountain history. Co-president of the Society, Lee 
Cozad says he expects the museum to be open this year.

             The Society Board of Directors will play the roles and 
spoof 1940s celebrities who are suspects in the murder. Some of the 
celebrities in attendance will be: Veronica Flake, Robert Itchem, 
Bugsy Seagull, and Joan Crawfish. Guests will be asked to try to 
solve the crime.

             The plot begins with the discovery of famed movie star, 
Clark Clark's body in front of the Tudor House. Clark was a famous 
leading man who was adored by the public and despised by many of his 
costars. The reasons for their dislike were varied—from hogging the 
limelight to groping to loving & leaving to assorted affairs.

             Regardless of his faults, which also included regular 
drunkenness, the producers and studios put up with him and paid him 
more and more each film. Yet, his last three stunk, and his acting 
had been slipshod. Worse yet, they bombed at the box office. The 
trades were not kind, referring to Clark as, "worn out....over the 
hill...washed up flotsam."

             Mr. Clark's body was found by a jogger, lying in the 
parking lot of the Tudor House next to a bottle of Jack Daniels. The 
coroner's crime team determined he had been clubbed about the head 
with a blunt object, stabbed repeatedly, strangled, shot four times, 
poisoned with a dart dipped in Karari, run over by a large vehicle, 
then bitten by a rattler. The police are surmising the snake was used 
to make it look like an accident.

             Reservations for the evening are $75 per person and 
include an exceptional buffet, no host bar and mystery play. 1940s 
era costumes optional.

             Make your reservations today because seating is limited
