NEW YORK.-This seems a bit

year-old bean-po1e Cleveland lad

SeUen Peers New York and en-
as GipoIos gage in hoofng
and spoofng in a
Broadway show. But young Ted
Peckharn, founder, owner and op-
orator Of the Guide Escort Serv-
ice, of New York and London, says
it's all true. He lands back here
from Europe insisting he has all
seven peers in tow and that they
will perform as advertised.
He lists, as one Of the seven,
Lord Kinnoull, premier earl of
Scotland. This writer, bringing
up to date his dossier on Lord Kim
noull, finds him quoted in London
the other day-apropos of Mr.. Peck
hams enterprise-as follows:
II think it damned impertinent
that American showmen should
come over here thinking they can
buy peers as they buy cigarettes -
He admitted he had answered Mr..
Peckham's advertisement in a Lon
don newspaper, but said he did so
merely to have an opportunity to
resent the insult. He may be COM
ing along just to get a better play
for his resentment. At any rate,
Mr.. Peckham says he has him
signed up with the others.
AS to the young impresario of
social talent, his is an interesting de-

s. He has nice Offices in New York
and London, lives in first class ho-
tells, rides boats like the Queen
Mary on his business errands, and
keeps staff of about $50 college,

palavering with bored women. It's
So with business suit and S. with
evening clothes. As required, on
the instant, he can deal the Gus
toner a lad who is long on Marcel
Proust or one who can dance the
''big apple" ,.<
He likes boys from Yale, Harvard
and Princeton, but that's mostly
just good showmanship. He's just
about as apt to pick up a nimble
hoofer or conversationalist from Si-
wash. Most ladies prefer blonds, he
Just to work in the whole
story, it should be reported that he
also has agencies in Paris, Budapest

He was a barker in the French ex-
hibit at the Chicago World fair. His
parents disapproved Of his bucking
New York, without a college educa-
ton, but, before you could say eco
nomic determinism, he had a big
stable of college boys working for
him.
Lord Kinnoull, too, merits an in
PRODUCTION here-whether he takes
the escorting job or not. 4 He is a
handsome young peer, whose cas-
tie and 10000. .0OO-acre Scottish es-
tate went up-or down---in cham
pagne bubbles, around the night
clubs. Having relieved himself of
this burden, he got back to work |
and became a hard-working, intelli-
gent and liberal peer. .@
He said, "ThiS night club business
gives me a pain. These. people |
around the clubs are like lot of |
silly and vicious children squander-
ing wealth which others have
worked hard to produce. I'm going |
to work, and I'm going to devote my
career to the justice andaWelfare of
other: workers. -
Around the clubs, he was known
as George Harley Hay. He married
Mae Maverick, daughter of Kate
Maverick, the night club queen.
