i * PAGE TWO BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Beggar Has New Sales Talk— {Can You Spare a Teddy Bear? By BILLY ROSE There’s a beggar in New York with a new sales approach: “Can you please, Mister, spare the price of a teddy bear for my sick little daughter?” It so happens that this panhandler hasn't got a sick little daughter, but that doesn’t mean you have to turn him down if you meet up with him. His story is hearts-and-flowers stuff, and I'll tell it to you as it was told to me the other night by Charlie Washburn, the Broadway press agent... . “A few days before Easter,” said Charlie, “I was standing in front of a toy shop on Fifth Avenue when a seedy-looking guy tapped me on the arm and asked if I could spare the price of a teddy bear. When I told him to quit his kid- ding, he explained he wanted it for his sick little girl,. and that if I didn't think he was on the up-and-up he'd write his name and address on a piece of paper and I Billy Rose could have it delivered. “Well, filled with the old Easter spirit I walked into the shop and picked out a five-dollar bear, but when I handed the slip to the girl who waited on me she gave me a funny look and said I was the third person that afternoon who'd order- ed -one sent to that address. ® * » “IT SMELLED LIKE a good hu- man interest yarn, and so I had her wrap up the toy and set out to de- liver it myself. It was a flat in a walk-up tenement in the 50’s near Tenth Avenue, and the door was | opened by a woman who looked as if she could use a little sleep. “What you got there,’ said, ‘another teddy bear? “How'd you know’? 1 asked. “I've been getting two or three every afternoon for the last month, she said. ‘Where'd you run into Tim? “Tim, it turned out, was her hus- band and he had been missing for several weeks. Things hadn't been going well with them for quite some time, and when his unemploy- ment insurance ran out last March the going got real tough. Then, to she make things still worse, their three- year-old daughter, Peggy, had taken sick and the doctors at the clinic couldn’t seem to do much for her. ee oo “THE TEDDY BEAR angle had come about this way: Shortly after Peggy became ill, she asked for a teddy bear and kept talking about it all the time. Tim said he thought it would do her more good than all the medicine, but what with the. room rent and food, they just couldn’t afford to buy one. A month ago he walked out of the house, and ever since teddy bears had been arriving at the rate of two or three a day. “ ‘With all those toys,” I said to the woman, ‘your daughter must be a happy little girl.’ * They're too late to do any good, she said. 'Peggy died two days before ber father left. And the teddy bears probably would- w't have belped anybow — she bad leukemia. “When I told her I couldn’t un- derstand why a man was mooching teddy bears for a dead child, the woman said she was afraid Tim had cracked up. He was never one to accept reality anyhow, and in his* fuzzy condition he probably still thought the kid was alive. ‘ ‘Well, then,’ I said, ‘what have you been doing with all the teddy bears?’ : “The woman told me she had gotten to know the doctors at the clinic pretty well, and when her husband disappeared they had found her a job at the hospital as cleaning woman. ¢ ‘There are a lot of kids in the charity ward where I work,’ she said, ‘and they get a big kick out of those teddy bears.'” EECESMIEI USER EIIINTMSETESRIDONCRCIGTANATOI 00S ¢ FREE!

Present quarters have been outgrown in the year that Gavy’s Market has been in business.
