He was about 6-4 and slim. I met him one time. I understand Brookeville Maryland was named after him.
Vaudeville stage man.If you showed any interest in his playing he would never stop and had the biggest smile as he does here in this picture. He was in his 90's when I met him.

"Brooke Johns, 93, an irrepressible former superstar of vaudeville who was a Montgomery County commissioner in the 1940s, died Dec. 3 of cardiac arrest at his home on the outskirts of Olney.
Mr. Johns was billed as "Six-foot-three and Oh! So Different" during his vaudeville days, and he was world-renowned for his vitality, his nasal voice and his banjo. Almost to the end, he retained a strong voice, a firm handshake and a quick sense of humor.
He retired at the peak of his show business career in 1930 to a farm 18 miles from the White House and eventually converted much of the land into the Brooke Manor Country Club. As the suburbs moved northward, the 207 acres he owned were widely sought after by developers, but he rejected many offers.
Last month, he and his family finally agreed to sell all but their 17-room home and surrounding 20 acres to a Rockville real estate development firm."

No individual or group has so far grabbed credit for the attack.
The Kaduna State Government, on Friday, said some bandits attacked communities in Igabi, Giwa and Jema’a local government areas of the state, killing four persons with scores sustaining injuries.
The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr Samuel Aruwan, said at least 30 cows were also rustled in the separate attacks.
Aruwan, however, was silent on when the incident took place, adding that an attempt to burn a police post was repelled in Jema’a Local Government Area of the state.
He also said no fewer than four persons sustained injuries in the various attacks, giving the names of three of the injured as Mustapha Ya’u, Bilyaminu Saidu and Bilyaminu Abubakar.
The commissioner said, “Security agencies have reported that bandits invaded Zangon Aya town in Igabi LGA. According to the report, two residents, Falalu Dari and Sabiu Idris, were killed by the bandits.
“The bandits also attacked Rugar Delu, a settlement on the fringes of the town and rustled about 30 cows belonging to one Delu Bafilata, a herder. Delu sustained gunshot injuries to the chest and is receiving treatment in hospital.
“In another reported incident, bandits invaded Ungwan Murtala in Yakawada, Giwa LGA and shot one Inusa Ibrahim dead. In Godogodo village of Jema’a LGA, bandits attempted to attack a police outpost but were effectively repelled by the personnel. However, one Ayuba Madugu was killed by the gunmen.”
The commissioner added that the bandits’ attack on the Godogodo village almost snowballed into an ethno-religious crisis but was averted by the security operatives. He added that Governor Nasir El-Rufai commiserated with the families of the deceased and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, gunmen suspected to be herdsmen have killed two people in Rikwe-Rishe, Kpatenvie village of Kpachudu community, Bassa LGA of Plateau State.
The victims, identified as Mr Shedrack Zehwie, 20; and Mrs Ladi Geoffrey, 25, were said to be at home when the gunmen stormed their compound around 9pm on Thursday and attacked them, killing them.
The National President of the Irigwe Development Association, Ezekiel Bini, who confirmed the killings to Saturday PUNCH in Jos on Friday said, “The two victims were farmers.
“The woman was at home while the man who came to visit a relative was just relaxing in the compound when the gunmen appeared suddenly and shot them dead on Thursday night. It’s really sad.”
The General Secretary of IDA, Dickson Auta, who spoke at the burial of the deceased at Rikwe-Rishe village on Friday, lamented the killing of the two Irigwe youths and called for the immediate stop to open grazing of cattle in Irigwe land.
According to him, apart from the destruction of farmlands and crops, and illegal grazing, the Fulani herdsmen have been lying in ambush and killing the Irigwe people.
The paramount ruler of Rigwe Nation, the Brra Nggwe Rigwe, Rev Ronku Aka in a remark, also frowned on the continuous violence in his domain.
While sympathising with the people, he emphasised that the land bequeathed to the Rigwe people by their forefathers could not be forcefully grabbed, irrespective of attacks and other strategies deployed against them.

Frank, it's 8 to 12 people now. You have no idea how quickly like wildfire the racism is spreading among black and brown people.
It's like the genetic memory of tribalism only needed to be lit by racist misreporting of the George Floyd police killing (he'd be just as dead if he were white but that's not how it was spun).
It took nothing at all to set off anti-white racism in black and brown people who are all too ready to accept grievance culture narrative against whites.

Read “The Bell Curve”. This book explains it all. Segregation is cognitive. The book concludes with…. “…of all the rewards we can confer on each, the most precious is a place as a valued fellow citizen.”

Islam has been whipping up the anti-Israel sentiment very effectively by coercing/co-opting the media, and buying off the universities with oil money (see: Georgetown).
Also funding think tanks and lobbyists, and pressure groups.
I suspect it is Islam that is funding the race war also - an Iranian proxy in Australia name of Hanan Dover went to an Islamist conference in Turkey and a week later the Baby Aylan picture opened Europes borders to mass migration. She then went to the Martin Luther King museum and posted about the civil rights movement. They know the pressure points of our culture.
I've never seen so much racism permeating academia, and especially being exported from the US as now
And by racism I mean hatred of white people and hatred of jews.
It's in textbooks in universities now: openly stating 'white men' are to blame for dominating other cultures. It's ignorant and wrong - no race has any monopoly on that behaviour.
Hollywood and netflix pump out movie after tv series where only white people are villains.
It's always 12 years a slave - about blacks being slaves of whites.
Never is it 12 years a slave about the Europeans taken by the Islamic slave trade
Or 12 years a slave about the black africans taken for 1000 years by the Islamic slave trade and castrated - millions died from sepsis.
This constant reinforcement and magnification of every blot on european colonial history together with the complete ignoring of any fault in the history of other cultures is producing something very dangerous.
It's not producing self-reflection and fairness in white people.
It's producing MASSIVE and DIRECT racism in black and brown people against white people.
In societies where the majority is conservative and opposed to islam, you will find islam piggybacks on communism to survive; becoming comrades gives muslims respectability and a platform for unending class war, which they can use to grow their influence. They form parties, pressure groups etc and field representatives all under the marxist label, while the endgame is always jihad.
In America, there was no way for islam to creep in and upend institutions of governance, influence the polity and own edifices of control like they do in say the UK or Canada. America, for all its compulsively liberal secularism would never let the muslim run rampant up and down its polity. So, they played the long game, entry and consolidation through their class cousins, those who were already scamming their way into power since the Clinton era. Their one great victory was Obama.
Today you have a legally supported, well-financed, politically perpetuated race war against the majority - which is targeted for enslavement - and an increasingly hostile Wakanda [black nation envisaged, taken from whitey's dead hands]. In time, you will find that one of the principal sources of that hostility is not some historic angst over great grandma being whipped to work, but islam. The camouflage behind color politics and marxism etc is just another form of classic muslim deception.
[NYPOST] A Jewish man was chased by two cars flying Paleostinian flags in Los Angeles, security footage shows.
The man said the people in the cars chanted "holy shit! Allahu akbar," an Islamic battle cry meaning god is the greatest, and pursued him as he walked to a synagogue to celebrate Shavout Monday night, according to Fox News.
"I’ve taken this route a million times and I’ve never been afraid," the man, who wished to remain anonymous, told the network.
"I was waiting by the light for it to change and suddenly I saw a bunch of cars coming and I see out of the corner of my eye they were waving the Paleostinian flag. They started speeding up and I heard them chanting ’holy shit! Allahu akbar.’ That’s when I started running for my life."
Surveillance footage obtained by the outlet shows the man running away from the speeding cars into a Bank of America parking lot.
"I ran as fast as I could," he reportedly said. "They were picking up speed and I really thought they were going to run me over, that it would all be over."
"I was petrified," he said. "I just kept thinking, ’I’m a father of six and I want to come home to them tonight.’ I thought they were going to kill me. My mind was racing."
[AlAhram] Thousands of people rallied in support of the Paleostinians across Pakistain Friday, hours after a ceasefire was announced between Israel and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, the Islamist group which governs the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

At least six people were killed and another 14 maimed by a bomb at a pro-Paleostinian rally in a Pak city bordering Afghanistan on Friday, officials said, the latest violence to hit the restive area.
"It was an improvised bomb which went off as participants began to disperse," said Tariq Mengal, a senior local administration official in Chaman, Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... province.
A second official confirmed the incident and toll.
Thousands of people rallied in support of the Paleostinians across Pakistain Friday, hours after a ceasefire was announced between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group which governs the Gaza Strip.
Friday's blast comes just weeks after a suicide kaboom in the quiet provincial capital of Quetta struck a luxury hotel where the Chinese ambassador was being hosted.
That attack was later claimed by the Pak Taliban ...Arabic for students... Chaman has long served as a gateway for Afghan Talibs entering Afghanistan from their alleged shelters in Balochistan, where the group's leadership council is believed to be based.
Pakistain is fighting several low-level insurgencies in the impoverished province, waged by Islamist, separatist and sectarian groups.
Balochistan is Pakistain's largest and poorest province despite being rich in natural resources.
Resentment has been fuelled by billions of dollars of Chinese money flowing into the region through the China-Pakistain Economic Corridor (CPEC) -- a key part of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative -- which locals say gave them little benefit as most new jobs went to outsiders.
[DAILYTIMES.PK] A few hours into a ceasefire agreement reached between the Israeli government and Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,, which governs the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

Several Arab media outlets reported the forces launched tear gas shells and fired rubber bullets.
Al Jazeera journalist Arwa Ibrahim also reported stun grenades being launched at worshipers, "Back to square one?" she asked.
Citing Red Islamic Thingy, she said at least 20 people were maimed.
Ibrahim shared footage from the compound, showing worshipers scrambling amid loud explosions in the background.
The worshipers had stayed back after Friday prayers to celebrate the truce.
"They were singing and chanting when a contingent of the Israeli police [stationed] next to the compound came into the compound and started using crowd control measures that they use all the time, including stun grenades, smoke bombs and tear gas," Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... , who was reporting from occupied East Jerusalem, said.
That would be an action of the Islamic Movement - Northern Branch, the militant arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel, which goes in for riots and harassing Jews on the Temple Mount via their Israeli Arab Mourabitoun cadres, funding Hamas, and social services in Arab villages in the Galilee.
"They started firing in that crowd in an effort to try and disperse them."
Israeli strikes on Gaza have killed 232 Paleostinians,

including 65 children, and have maimed another 1,900, according to the Gaza health ministry.
Vast areas have been reduced to rubble and some 120,000 people have been displaced, according to Hamas authorities.
On the Israeli side, 12 people, including two children, have died.
The truce brokered by Egypt, which also included Gaza’s second-most powerful group, Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , was agreed upon in the early hours of Friday, following mounting international pressure to stem the bloodshed which erupted on May 10.
The violence was triggered after police action at al-Aqsa mosque during the Ramadan fasting month.
"Hundreds of people threw rocks and petrol bombs at police officers who responded at the scene and began dispersing the rioters," Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said in a statement.

Lots of battlefields, Abu Uluque, and the jihadis switch from one to the other as best suits the moment. The war will not end until there are no more Jews between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
Hamas got exactly the ceasefire it wanted, which means that the IDF stopped attacking, and various supporters started sending in supplies and money.
