I keep learning new things that my father never told me about his father. I knew grand dad was part of the Cleveland mob during prohibition (Mo Dailits was the boss) and afterwards ran nightclubs in Los Angeles. Doing research tonight I discovered that he was a minority owner of and manged the Stardust Casino in Vegas and had a 25% ownership of the Golden Bank Casino in Reno in the early 50s. Damn Gramps was in the thick of it.

anthony?

is that you?

It's okay

we can have a better life


Anthony announces that it is time for dinner, which consists of ice cream, candy apples, potato chips, and hamburgers topped with peanut butter. Confused at first at the family's unconventional diet, Helen thinks that this is a birthday dinner for Anthony. Ethel complains at the prospect of another birthday; Anthony glares at her, and her plate flies out of her hands. Helen attempts to leave, but Anthony urges Helen to stay and see Uncle Walt's "hat trick". A top hat appears on top of the television set. Uncle Walt is very nervous about what could be in the hat, but he pulls out an ordinary rabbit. Anthony insists on an encore, and a large, mutant rabbit springs from the hat. As Helen attempts to flee, she spills the contents of her purse, and Anthony finds a note inside stating "Help us! Anthony is a monster!" When the family points the finger at Ethel, she reveals to Helen that they are not Anthony's real relatives. Anthony brought them to his house to be his surrogate family after he killed his parents, and presumably he is doing the same with Helen. In punishment for writing the note, Anthony sends Ethel into the television set where she is pursued and eaten by a cartoon dragon.

Helen attempts to escape, only to have the door blocked by a giant eye. Anthony vents his frustration at everyone being afraid of him, summoning another cartoonish monster out of the television. When Helen tells him to "wish it away", he makes the entire house disappear, taking himself and Helen outside the physical plane of existence. Anthony says that he sent his "family" back where they came from, since they did not want to be with him. He cannot understand why everyone is unhappy with him, since he believes he provided for their every possible desire.

Helen offers to be Anthony's teacher and student, and to help him find new, even greater uses for his power. Satisfied that she'll never "abandon" him, and having at last foreseen the true end results of his reign of terror, Anthony welcomes Helen's offer and magically brings back her car. As they drive through a barren landscape, meadows filled with bright flowers spring up alongside the road in the pair's wake.

nope, he sold off the clubs, had a nice retirement set up for him and my Grandma. When he found out he had Lung cancer him and the boys from Vegas took off with the wives on one of the Queen cruise ships for a one year trip around the pacific. When he died he left grandma more that enough money to live the next 20 years of her life in comfort. and he left my dad the beach restaurant knowing that the Property was zoned C1 and R4. Dad converted it to a 24 unit condo complex on the beachfront in Santa Monica and split the profits with his sister
