Born Leonard Sucher, the American newspaper columnist Leonard Lyons (1906-1976) was a classmate of Lou Gehrig's at the High School of Commerce. Lyon graduated from St. John's University School of Law and practiced law for 5 years as he also wrote the weekly column "East of Broadway" for the "Jewish Daily Forward". Awarded a job as Broadway columnist for the New York Post, it was then that he changed his name from Sucher to Lyons and went on to write the daily column "The Lyons Den", covering theater, movies, politics and art for the paper. A New York institution, the column was picked up and distributed nationally by King Features Syndicate and later the McNaught Syndicate. In December of 1973, Lyons was awarded the city's bronze medallion & a special scroll by Mayor John Lindsay. He was again recognized for his work by Mayor Michael Bloomberg who issued another proclamation in his name on his 100th anniversary. His son, the film and theater critic Jeffrey Lyons and his grandson, the television personality Ben Lyons, continue to use the name "The Lyons Den".Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Cary Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jose Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member, producer, and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
