dialogue and all action was suspend-

"The Attic Theater, the Fourth
Street Playhouse and others of their ilk
had their share of problems. Yet they
managed to survive, seemingly on a
shoestring but with some real talent.
"It was a long way from 1943 and
the Blaine Restaurant for Sammy
Lieberman, when his dream came true
in 1973. The Raleigh House general
manager and vice president walked
about with a beaming face atthe pre-
opening press session for his elegant
House of Lords gourmet dining room
and Lion's Head English-style pub in
Southfield. Two days later, these two
and his Piccadilly Delicatessen would
have its public opening. The Raleigh
House became America's largest pri-
vate catering firm, a division of
Interstate United, the fifth largest food
chain in the U.S.
"Lieberman's plans to open a 12-
story, 300-room Raleigh Hotel never
happened. But the new restaurants
were opened in a record 10 months'
rime, covering an area of 20,000
square feet. The Piccadilly sat 166 and
was a Miami-style deli, fully carpeted
with covered ceilings, mates' chairs,
booths and counterservice.
"The Lion's Head, seating about
140, was an actual design transport
from the British Isles. It featured a
leather and oak bar, separate piano bar
and plain carpeting. Back of the long
bar hung four authentic, hand-carved
oak trophy plaques depicting 19th
century wild-game scenes.
"The Elizabethan House of Lords
dining room sat 156 persons in a plush
atmosphere, where patrons could
receive French-style service directly at
their table. Food was brought in and
served from carts. Its menu was eight
pages of a la carte gourmet selections,
plus a daily table du maison changing
menu. Two 600-pound brass chande-
liers hung from each end of the spa-
cious room. Original hand-woven wall
tapestries, depicting French and English
scenes, were paneled in the dining room
and English Pub. Black and.gold china,
and gold flatware graced the dining
tables. A special feature of the House of
Lords was the English fireplace, discov-
ered in London, England, and trans-
ported to Southfield. Dating back to
1760, it came from a great 18th-centu-
ry mansion.
"Milos Cihelka CMC, now retired,
was the House of Lords' executive
chef. In 1972, he won two gold
medals as a member of the U.S.
Culinary Olympics Team in Frankfort,
Germany.
