Susanna and the others intended to rehearse a little that evening. Soon I came over and got my first glimpse of the Club Chevalier d'Eon. I was thrilled by it. Not luxurious but very professional appearing, neat and very nice. The dressing room was spaciouly mirrored and well lighted. A dance floor area in front of a small stage is also used by the impersonators.

However, I soon met her and found that it was Edith who, it will be recalled, told of her trip to Washington D.C. in TVia #3. A very friendly person and very feminine appearing. It was quickly apparent to me how she could carry out her public ventures without detection.

Another impersonator, Toni Monroe, also arrived that evening. She is also a lot of fun and, as Susanna described, does a wonderful impersonation of Marilyn Monroe.

A background of the Catskills, a foreground ɗ open field where a variety of entertainment might be found, in- cluding a swimming pool (yet to be completed). Best of all however, was the opportunity to roam freely about the grounds in feminine attire with no concern over what others might be thinking. A Glorious feeling.

(((Ed. Note: All the outside shots of Denise, Cover Girl in TVia #7 were taken at the Resort by Edith. In them you gan get an idea of the size and freedom of the place.))) We rehearsed all afternoon, had dinner and at 8:30 be- gan preparations for the evening show. After dressing ex-
