Scotty George to Drive Blindfolded Eight Hours in Washington
Scotty George will drive a Studebaker coupe eight hours on Friday starting at ten in front of the Democrat Independent office. He will be blindfolded with absorbent cotton and a black hood, watched by Mayor John W. Applegate, then visit Red Cross and local shops while explaining nothing about his method. The stunt includes stops for meals at Bluebird Cafe and changes at Lemmon's Pharmacy, with a nine o'clock show at New Graham theatre titled Exposing the Medium. He will reblindfold eight times and ends with a late solo act, promising no accidental harm as he tests his limits.
