A QUEER GAME OF HIDE
AND SEEK
O VER In the Green Forest where
the moonlight sifted down through
the tops of the silver beech trees, be
gan a queer game of hide and seek.
Raster Bear was “It.” Danny Meadow
Mouse was hiding. Buster Bear was
•it," for his stomach's sake. Danny
Meadow Mouse was hiding for his life.
Buster Bear was rather enjoying that
game of hide and seek. Danny wasn’t
enjoying It at all.
By the time Buster Bear had whirled
around after Danny had surprised and
startled him by running out from un
der his very paw as he started to
rake over a little pile of leaves In
search of beechifuts, Danny had, as
you know, disappeared. He had dart
ed behind the trunk of a big tree.
For a couple of minutes Buster stood
perfectly still. He was listening. He
was listening for the rustle of a leaf
to tell him In which direction Danny
had gone. But not a leaf rustled. Bus
ter couldn’t hear the faintest sound
to tell him that there was another
living thing anywhere about.
“Now, where can that scamp have
gone to?" muttered Buster. “He cer
tainly hasn’t, gone far. He must be
right around here somewhere. Prob
ably he Is hiding under some of these
leaves. I’ll pull over a few of them
and find out."
So Buster began ha rakacover the
leaves all about w)& his great claws
just as he had beeh iolng when Danny
Meadow Mouse first saw him, only he
did It In a much more hurried way.
You see, he was looking for a fat

them. Presently he came around be

trunk ta the other side. Buster saw
him go. “Hal" exclaimed Buster. “So
there you are!" and rushed around
after Danny. Danny darted around
to the place he had Just left.

Meadow Mouse can. He soon found
that out Danny always* managed to
keep the trunk of that tree^J&etween
them. Finally Buster Bear gave up
running around that tree and sat up to
think. On the other side of that tree
crouched the most frightened Meadow
Mouse In all the Great World, wonder
ing what would happen next and
trembling so that he shook all over.
Danny had played many games of hide
and seek In his life, but never one In
which he had felt so wholly helpless
as he did now.

minutes In a hot oven. Minced ham
may be used if preferred.

Instead of going to the theater or
the movies, many New Yorkers now
spend entir^ evenings In broadcasting
studios For a complete evening, plan
ning and forethought are necessary
since so many of the broadcasts are so
popular that requests for tickets must
be made well In advance of the*"de*‘
sired date despite the fact that some
of the studios seat 1,400 persons. Also
It Is not possible to enjoy a continu
ous show since the visitor cannot get
from one studio td another, In time,
especially since the tickets are not
goood later than 15 minutes before the
broadcast. But the breaks serve the
same purpose as do Intermissions in
the legitimate theater and are spe*,
dally welcomed by smokers since
smoking is forbidden In the studios
and ushers are on hand to enforce the
rule..
• • »... _
- Many out-of-towners are Included-
ainong the broadcast audiences. .Not
only are ther^those who obtain their
own tickets, but also many whose
tickets have been obtained for them by
New Yorkers. It is a thrifty way to
entertain guests, as the tickets cost
nothing.. Also the visitors get a kick
out of seeing in the flesh those whom
they hear at their own firesides. Not
infrequently, stage stars appear on the
.programs and. thus, there is double re
turn for the time expended. One out-
of-towner on a recent evening, saw
and heard stars, who; if seen from a
theater seat, would have necessitated
an expenditure, of about $20 at box
office prices.' On occasions, stage
stars are to be seen in the audi
ences.
• • •
Autograph collectors find .the studios
excellent hunting grounds. As a rule,
the stars are ready to sign as many
cards as possible. Ed Wynn Is the
most accommodating of all. He usual
ly doesn’t get out of the studio for
more than an hour after his broadcast
Rudy Vallee sneaks away by means of
some unwatched elevator. Joe Cook
gets out the quickest of all. He makes
his exit during the sign off.
