NEW YORK.-This seems a bit
quaint-a gangling, twenty-one-
year-old bean-pole Cleveland lad

as Gieolos gage in hoofing
and spoofing in a
Broadway show. But young Ted
Peckham, founder, owner and OPP
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 Kin
noull, finds him quoted in London
the other day-apropos of Mr.. Peck
hams enterprise-a follows:
81 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 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-

Mary on his business errands, and
keeps a staff of about $50 college
bred escorters stepping out and

evening clothes. AS required, on
the instant, he can deal the Gus

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 ST.
wash. Most ladies prefer blends, he
discovers. Just to work in the whole
story, it should be reported that he
also has agencies in Paris, Budapest
and Rome.

this burden, he got back to work
and became a Woodworking, intelli-

He said, "This night club business
gives me pain. These people

silly and vicious children squander-
ing wealth which others have
worked hard to produce. I'm going

Around the clubs, he was known
as George Harley Hay. He married
