<<Brother Ives was involved in Freemasonry as a youth, becoming a
DeMolay on December 5, 1927. Then, after moving to California, he
petitioned Magnolia (now Magnolia-La Cumbre) Lodge No. 242 and, in
1977, The Scottish Rite Bodies of Santa Barbara, California, becoming
a dual member in the Valley of Bellingham, Washington, in 1990. In
recognition of his many services to our Order, he was invested with
the Rank of Knight Commander Court of Honour in 1985, coroneted an
Inspector General Honorary in 1987, and elected a Grand Cross by The
Supreme Council in 1993. Ives was marked by a memorial service held,
under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of F..&A..M.. of California on
May 4, 1995, at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Los Angeles.>>

<<Burl Icle *Ivanhoe* Ives (June 14, 1909 – April 14, 1995) was an
Academy Award winning American actor, writer and folk music singer.
From 1927 to 1929 Ives attended Eastern Illinois State Teachers
College in Charleston, where he played football. During his junior
year, he was sitting in English class, listening to a lecture on
*BEOWULF* , when he suddenly realized that he was *WASTING* his time.
So he got up to leave. As he walked out the door the professor made a
snide remark and Ives slammed the door behind him. Sixty years later,
the school named a building after its most famous dropout. Ives
traveled about the U.S. as an itinerant singer during the early 1930s,
earning his way by doing odd jobs and playing his banjo. He was jailed
in Mona, Utah, for vagrancy and for singing “Foggy Foggy Dew,” which
the authorities decided was a bawdy song.>>

<<In 1574, James Burbage became the first Englishman
to obtain a *theatrical LI(c)ENSE, and in 1576 he signed
a lease with *GILES ALLEN* for a parcel of land just outside
the city of London, on the north shore of the Thames River.
Burbage entered the lease with a partner, his father-in-law,
John Brayne, who was not otherwise affiliated with acting.
Although the lease was only for 21 years, it provided for the
possibility of extension, as well as giving Burbage the right
to take down anything he might construct upon the land.>>
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/8381/houses.html
<<James Burbage was the designer and builder of the playhouse built
in 1576 and he named it the Theatre. It was built on land leased by
Burbage from *GILES ALLEyN*. Alleyn caused Burbage considerable grief
and headaches over the renewal rights of his lease and he eventually
died before it was straightened out. His son Cuthbert then inherited
the problem. The lease was never renewed and Cuthbert along with
five actors in the Lord Chamberlain's Company joined into a
partnership to build a new theatre. Members of the new venture
included Richard Burbage, Cuthbert's brother, Shakespeare, John
Heminges, Augustine Phillips, Thomas Pope and William Kempe.>>
--------------------------------------------------------
http://www.webincunabula.com/html/english/books/shaklost.htm
<<In 1586-87, there were only two regular theatres,--the Theatre and
the Curtain,--though there were usually several companies playing also
at innyards within and about the City. The Theatre at Shoreditch,
owned by James Burbage, was built by him in 1576, and was the first
building designed in modern England specially for theatrical purposes.
Though he had many troubles in later years with his brother-in-law and
partner, John Brayne, and with his grasping landlord, *GILES ALLEN*,
he retained his ownership of the Theatre until his death in 1597,
and he, or his sons, maintained its management until
the expiration of their lease in the same year.
Much ambiguity regarding James Burbage's theatrical affiliations in
the years between 1583 and 1594 has beeen egendered by the utterly
gratuitous assumption that he joined the Queen's players upon the
organisation of that company by Edmund Tilney, the Master of the
Revels, in 1583, leaving the Earl of Leicester's players along with
Robert Wilson, John Laneham, and Richard Tarleton at that time. We
have conclusive evidence, however, against this assumption. James
Burbage worked under the patronage of Lord Hunsdon and was undoubtedly
the owner of the Theatre in 1584, although Halliwell-Phillipps, and
others who have followed him in his error have assumed, on account of
his having mortgaged the lease of the Theatre in the year 1579, to one
John Hyde, a grocer of London, that the actual occupancy and use of
the Theatre had also then been transferred. It is not unlikely that
it was *GILES ALLEN*'s knowledge of this transaction that excited
his cupidity and led him to demand £24 instead of £14 a year when
Burbage sought an agreed upon extension of the lease of 1585. As
Hyde transferred the lease to Cuthbert Burbage in 1589, it appears
that he held a ten years' mortgage, which was a common term in such
transactions. In 1584 Burbage was clearly still manager of the
Theatre, and in the eyes of the companies playing there from time
to time, who were not likely to be cognizant of his private
business transactions, such as borrowing of money upon
a mortgage, swas also still the owner of the Theatre.
In one of the witty Recorder Fleetwood's reports to Lord Burghley,
dated 18th June 1584, we have the following matter referring to the
Theatre and the Curtain: "Upon Sondaie, my Lord sent two aldermen to
the court, for the suppressing and pulling downe of the theatre and
curten, for all the Lords agreed thereunto, saving my Lord Chamberlayn
and Mr. Vice-Chamberlayn; but we obtayned a letter to suppresse them
all. Upon the same night I sent for the Queen's players, and my Lord
of Arundell his players, for they all well nighe obeyed the Lords
letters. The chiefest of her Highnes' players advised me to send for
the owner of the theatre, who was a stubborne fellow, and to bynd him.
I dyd so. He sent me word that he was my Lord of Hunsdon's man, and he
would not come to me, but he would in the morning ride to my Lord.
Then I sent the under-sheriff for hym, and he brought him to me, and
at his coming he showted me out very justice. And in the end, I showed
hym my Lord his master's hand, and then he was more quiet. But to die
for it he wold not be bound. And then I mynding to send hym to prison,
he made sute that he might be bounde to appeare at the oier and
determiner, the which is to-morrowe, where he said that he was sure
the court would not bynd hym, being a counsellor's man. And so I have
graunted his request, where he is sure to be bounde, or else is lyke
to do worse." The "stubborne fellow" was, without doubt, none other
than the high-spirited and pugnacious James Burbage, who fought
for twenty-one years over leases with his avaricious landlord, Giles
Allen, and of whom Allen's lawyer writes in a Star Chamber document in
1601: "Burbage tendered a new lease which he, the said Allen, refused
to sign because it was different from the first and also because
Burbage had assigned the Theatre to John Hyde and has also been a very
bad and troublesome tenant to your orator." This document also makes
mention of the fact as one of the reasons for Allen refusing to sign
the new lease that "Hyde conveyed the lease to Cuthbert, son of
James." The conveyance here mentioned was made in 1589.>>
-------------------------------------------------
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/8958/Chamberlain.html
<<Burbage died in February 1597. A month later, to the ill-concealed
delight of the players, Cobham died, and within a few days the second
Lord Hunsdon was installed as Lord Chamberlain. After a break of seven
months, Shakespeare's company was again officially the Chamberlain's
and back at the Theatre. The Chamberlain's did not occupy the Theatre
much longer. After traveling during the summer of the inhibition, from
Rye & Dover to Bristol & Bath, they found Cuthbert Burbage quarreling
with his ground landlord, *GILES ALLEN*, about the renewal of the
lease. Negotiations broke down, and they had probably moved to the
Curtain a few hundred yards south of the Theatre, by the end of
the year. Their original twenty-one-year lease was expired.
For some time the Theatre had stood unfrequented and *GILES ALLEN*,
the owner of the land, was threatening to pull it down. His move was
anticipated by Cuthbert Burbage. Exercising the right contained in the
original lease; the Theatre was dismantled shortly after Christmas,
1598. Using timbers from the dismantled Theatre, the old Theatre was
resurrected on the other side of the road as the new Globe. The
Burbage brothers supplied half of the capital, and the other half was
supplied by Shakespeare, Phillips, Pope, Heminge, and Kempe. The
theatre itself became part of the joint-stock of the company, or
at least of most of the sharers. Each member of this syndicate of
housekeepers, as they were called, was entitled to his share of the
profits, and liable for his proportion of the ground-rent and other
expenses. This free association of players, with an important stake
in the success of their common venture, was a very different sort
of enterprise from of Philip Henslowe, who owned the Rose theatre.
Henslowe owned the theatre and almost everything in it, including,
it might almost be said, the players and playwrights themselves.>>
-----------------------------------------------------------
http://shakespeare.palomar.edu/timeline/greatglobe.htm
<<The Construction of the Globe. During the years before 1599 the
Chamberlain's Men performed publicly primarily at The Theatre, which
had been leased by James Burbage, father of Richard. The ground
landlord was one *GILES ALLEN* , a puritan, and by no means in favor
of theatrical activities. In 1597 the lease expired, and the
Chamberlain's men were forced to move to The Curtain, another public
playing house near The Theatre. In the mean time the Theatre stood
empty. (At this time, while considering alternative playing houses,
Burbage purchased the Blackfriars for £600, within the city but under
the control of the crown and not city officials, who were most
assuredly anti-players. The local residents protested, however, so
that it would be years before the players were allowed to use the
Blackfriars as a playhouse.) Negotiations to move back in to The
Theatre were at an impasse, the landlord being exceedingly avaricious.
In the mean time James Burbage died, leaving the struggle to his two
sons, Richard and Cuthbert. Allen formed plans to pull down The
Theatre and "...convert the wood and timber thereof to some better
use..." (quoted from S. Schoenbaum, William Shakespeare A Documentary
Life, Oxford, 1975). Since the players could not come to terms with
Allen, and since a clause in their former lease allowed them to
dismantle the building, the Burbages and their associates and workmen
gathered by night and took The Theatre apart, transporting its timbers
across the Thames to the Bankside where they were used to build the
Globe. Allen was powerless to do anything other than vent his spleen,
describing the dismantling work party as: "ryotous...armed...with
*DIVERS* and manye unlawfull and offensive weapons...in *VERyE*
ryotous outragious and forcyble manner and contrarye to the lawes of
your highnes Realme...and there pulling breaking and throwing downe
the sayd Theater in *VERyE* outragious violent and riotous sort to the
great disturbance and terrefyeing not onlye of your subjectes [that
Allen claimed were attempting to stop them]...but of *DIVERS* others
of your majesties loving subjectes there neere inhabitinge.
(Schoenbaum, p.153)
The Globe, built by carpenter Peter Smith, was certainly the most
magnificent Theater London had ever seen. It was situated just
a few hundred yards from the Rose Theatre, run by Philip Henslowe
and his son in law, the famous actor Edward *ALLEYN*
(famous for his portrayal of Marlowe's great characters).
Feeling the pressure of competition, a year later Henslowe and
*ALLEYN* moved to new quarters, building the Fortune
Theater in *ST. GILES* without Cripplegate.>>

No, Art; that is not an anagram. "Giles Allen" contains no
occurrence of the letter "c" occurring in "legal license." MoreoVER,
there are three occurrences of the letter "e" in "legal license" but
only two in "Giles Allen." Finally, "legal license" has an INIPNC
score of zero. This is incredibly poor, even by the relaxed standards
of those of us accustomed to your abysmal anagrammatic incompetence.

You could wile away the hour
Conferrin' with Desmond Flower
Consultin' with Makbane
And your head you'd be scratchin'
While your thoughts were busy hatchin'
If you only had [J]ohn [B]rayne
you'd unravel any riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble with Tom Paine
With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could shoot another Lincoln
If you only had *Lewis* Paine
Oh, you would tell me why
Bohemia is near the shore
You could think of things you nEVER thunk before
And then you'd sit and think some more
Will would not be just a nuffin'
His head all full of stuffin'
His heart all full'a Tom Paine
He would drink and make merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry

OK: The boy's name *GILES* is of Greek origin,
and its meaning is *small goat* . From *Aigidios* .
The name refers to the goat-skin that ancient shields were made of.

Kid, n. [Of Scand. origin; cf. Icel. ki?, Dan. & Sw. kid; akin to OHG.
kizzi, G. kitz, kitzchen, kitzlein.] 1. (Zo["o]l.) A young goat.
"The . . . leopard shall lie down with the kid." --Is. xi. 6.
Scapegoat, n. [Scape (for escape) + goat.] 1. (Jewish Antiq.)
A goat upon whose head were symbolically placed the sins of the

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
<<Kid: the young of the goat. It was much used for food
(Gen. 27:9; 38:17; Judg. 6:19; 14:6). The Mosaic law forbade
to dress a kid in the milk of its dam, a law which is thrice
repeated (Ex. 23:19; 34:26; Deut. 14:21). Among the various
reasons assigned for this law, that appears to be the most
satisfactory which regards it as "a protest against cruelty
and outraging the order of nature." A kid cooked in its mother's
milk is "a gross, unwholesome dish, and calculated to kindle
animal and ferocious passions, and on this account Moses may
have forbidden it. Besides, it is even yet associated with
immoderate feasting; and originally, I suspect," says Dr. Thomson
(Land and the Book),
"was connected with idolatrous sacrifices.">>
<<Scapegoat: Lev. 16:8-26; R.V., "the goat for Azazel" (q.v.), the
name given to the goat which was taken away into the wilderness on the
day of Atonement (16:20-22). The priest made atonement over the
scapegoat, laying Israel's guilt upon it, and then sent it away, the
goat bearing "upon him all their iniquities unto a land not
inhabited." At a later period an evasion or modification of the law of
Moses was introduced by the Jews. "The goat was conducted to a
mountain named Tzuk, situated at a distance of ten Sabbath days'
journey, or about six and a half English miles, from Jerusalem. At
this place the Judean desert was supposed to commence; and the man in
whose charge the goat was sent out, while setting him free, was
instructed to push the unhappy beast down the slope of the mountain
side, which was so steep as to insure the death of the goat, whose
bones were broken by the fall. The reason of this barbarous custom was
that on one occasion the scapegoat returned to Jerusalem after being
set free, which was considered such an evil omen that its recurrence
was prevented for the future by the death of the goat" (Twenty-one
Years' Work in the Holy Land). This mountain is now called el-
Muntar.>>

The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves

As she said this she looked down at her hands, and was surprised
to see that she had put on one of the Rabbit's little white kid
gloves while she was talking. 'How can I have done that?'
Alice guessed in a moment that it was looking
for the fan and the pair of white kid gloves, and she very
good-naturedly began hunting about for them, but they were
nowhere to be seen-
By this time she had found her way into a tidy little room with a
table in the window, and on it (as she had hoped) a fan and two
or three pairs of tiny white kid gloves:

You would *not* post reams of spam, let
Alone mix Vere with Hamlet,
Or use "vier" for "four" in Spain;
And you'd say, "Hail fellow, well met!"
As you doffed your tinfoil helmet
If you only had a brain.
All your newsgroup fans would cry for
Your thoughts on ev'ry cipher,
You'd from anagrams abstain.
Anne Hathaway or any other
You'd not mix with Shakespeare's mother
If you only had a brain.
You would not be ever chasin'
Th'inscrutable Freemason,
Whom you still pursue in vain.
You'd forsake the realm of idjits,
Your IQ would need two digits --
If you only had a brain.
Lynne and Strit you'd not let fly at,
You'd be friends with Marty Hyatt,
In Phaeton you'd remain;
You'd pass English Composition
And to Lehigh gain admission
If you only had a brain.
You would cease your ass's brayin'
'Bout the death of Peter Gay, an'
You *might* seem almost sane;
We would drink and all make merry,
You'd join ranks with Dave and Terry
If you only had a brain.
