Not so long ago, Arthur French
played before $4,000 persons. Now
he often watches $4,000 persons at
play. Back in 1923 he was captain
Of the Harvard football team and
just about single-handed defeated
Yale in the traditional game. Two
days after his graduation, he had
job. Punching tickets at Manhat-
tan beach. Since then, he has done
just about every chore, except chef
in the kitchen about the resort.
Now he is general manager and
holds the rank of vice president of
the Joseph p Day Enterprises. He
married Mr.. Days daughter and
lives happy home life over in Short
Hills. N. J. He still keeps up with
athletics to certain extent. Man
haitian beach is two miles long. At
least 10 times a day, he travels the
entire length. Then, too, in his
spare time, he invented a football
and basketball. one-third regulation
size, to train youngsters for those
games when they grow up.
Instead of being stranded, vaude-
vile is now sanded. At least it is
out at Manhattan beach. To house
the weekend performances, which
read like the bills of the old Palace,
Mr.. French has constructed mod
ern amphitheater with a seating
capacity of 10000. The stage re-
sembles the Hollywood Bowl but is
of original design. 1t has private
offices and dressing rooms for the
stars and private sun porch where
the artists can enjoy day at the
beach out of reach of autograph
hounds. John Philip Sousa III,
grandson of the great bandsman,
who opened the old Manhattan
beach bandstand, is the band leader
and he swings the marches of his
famous grandsire. Recently he an
nounced his engagement to Miss
Jean Macdonald Of Hazleton, Pa.

Blacky the Crow asked Nimble-

should have a running start. "Of

high, thin, squeaky voice. Let him
run as far as he likes. I don't need

So Peter went back and took a
running start. This time his jump

Nimbleheels had jumped. Peter felt

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbit began feeling foolish
Just as soon as he found out that
his boasting was quite in vain and
that he was not going to get out of
that jumping match after all. He
felt still more foolish when he saw
all the little feathered people from
the Old orchard hurrying after
Sammy Jay to see that match. And
he felt more foolish than even when
at last he squatted beside Nimble-
heels ready for the word to jump.
You see, he was so many times
bigger than Nimbleheels that he
couldn't help but feel foolish. He
quite forgot that 1t isn't always
size that counts.
