Even More MISCELLANY

Herewith, another serving of various items, none of them worthy of a long piece, but just fine if you prefer snacking to reading. 

The title page of a 1939 booklet, featuring one artist's take on a bird's-eye view of the enclave. This was, of course, made before the tennis courts became 2 Tudor City Place in 1956.

PARTICIPATING IN TABLEAUX 

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