Abstract: Let $ H $ be a homeomorphism of the open annulus $ S^1 \times {\bf R}$ isotopic to the identity and let $ h$ be a lift of $ H$ to the universal cover $ {\bf R} \times {\bf R}$ without fixed point. Then we show that $ h$ admits a Brouwer line which is a lift of a properly imbedded line joining one end to the other in the annulus or $ H$ admits a free essential simple closed curve.
