Riley recalls the nights when more than l,800 people crowded into and about the theatcr to witness the shows. He also says that on many a summer night from IS to 20 extra trolley cars waited at the park to take people back to New Britain.
 One of the feature acts which played at the park for many return engagements. was the Golden Gate Quintette. This act, Mir. Riley said. always packed the theater to the doors and was one of the best money producing acts in the business at the time. Musical acts were the biggest hits at the park.
 When the late l.. S. Risley came to New Britain to manage the park sev- eral changes were made. and within q few years the park was closed.

 Renew Acquaintanccs.
 The story of the good old days at White Oak" started when MT. Riley and Francis Woods, who appeared nt Fox's theater last week in a hoop rolling act, began to discuss the af- feirs at the park some 20 years ago. Mir. Woods was a featured player in the old Fields and Hanson Minstrels which played at White Oak when Mir. Riley was in charge of the open air theater.

On the stage there was but one set of scenery, three wings and two dressing rooms; and one piano player furnished mu- sic for the acts. Two of the best players to appear at the park and who later made names for them selves in the amusement world were Frank Fogarty and Mamie Reming- ton.

FRENCH TOAST
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
 Of Columbia University

This method of making toast is very good when serving 1t for luncheon or supper. It is nourish- ing, tasty and always enjoyed by the children.
 For six slices of bread which Is stale but not hard, use one cup of milk and two eggs, slightly beaten with one-fourth teaspoon salt and two teaspoons sugar Dip bread in tho egg and milk, allowing it to remain long enough to soften but not break.
 Have ready a frying pan with some melted butter in 1t; fry the bread in the butter, slowly, so that the egg takes on the very light brown which is so much prettier, and also better tasting, than the dark brown color.
 Serve the bread at once, spreading each slice with jelly or marmalade.
