Sheridan Gorman is becoming the new name that Democratic political leaders would like to quickly forget. Gorman was an 18-year-old college student at Loyola University. She was gunned down last week while walking with friends by the lake.

In September 1960 demolition began on Croton’s waterfront business district to construct Route 9. Riverside Avenue, from the intersection with Maple up to Farrington Road, was rerouted and most of the old buildings demolished. By the time the project was completed, parts of residential streets from Benedict Boulevard in Harmon up to Wolf Road were also eliminated, along with the beautiful Beaux Arts-style bridge across the mouth of the Croton River. Village Historian Marc Cheshire will recount the upheaval and loss from this seminal event in Croton’s history.

MIRROR FILMS, FROM THE MAILBOX

A reader writes: I am fascinated by the roguish antics of Clifford Harmon and his time in the movie business. Did that company actually ever produce any films?

Response: Yes, Mirror Films, Inc. (also known as Mirror Studio) did produce a small number of films during its brief existence from 1915 to 1918. The company was founded by Clifford B. Harmon, a prominent real estate developer and aviator, with the goal of applying standardized business efficiency to the film industry—treating movies as "canned product."

Films Produced by Mirror Films
Despite its short lifespan and frequent legal troubles, the studio successfully released several titles:
The Marriage Bond (1916): A drama directed by Lawrence Marston.
Turned Up (1916): A production directed by Lawrence Marston.
A Wall Street Tragedy (1916): A drama featuring Nat Goodwin.
The Lion's Mail (1916): Another of the studio's early releases.
Wikipedia +3

Company History and Dissolution---The studio was headquartered in New York City at 16 East 42nd Street, with production facilities in Glendale, Long Island. The company's trajectory was cut short by several factors:

Rapid Capital Depletion: The studio exhausted its working capital by mid-1916.
Legal Battles: Mirror Films became mired in high-profile lawsuits, most notably a breach of contract suit filed by actor Nat Goodwin, which significantly damaged the company's finances.

Final Closure: By 1918, the combination of financial mismanagement and legal disputes forced the company out of business.
