Description	For a little while today, a "gambling school" was running full blast in Beverly Hills. Then Chief of Police C.H. Anderson found out about it. He hurried down to the Wilshire Boulevard reservations office of the Royal Nevada Hotel of Las Vegas and issued an ultimatum. Hotel Manager Don Rose and Lou Friedman, in charge of the "educational" crap table, roulette wheel and blackjack game, tried to explain the idea was just to show prospective Las Vegas visitors how the principal games worked so they wouldn't be so ignorant when they got there. Chips were used but no money was involved. They said that they had been told it would be all right to have gambling equipment "on display" and Anderson assured them they had been misinformed. Anyways, it was quite "educational" while it lasted. Nobody won, but nobody lost, either. Photo dated: April 17, 1957.
