CHAPTER II
THEME: THE CELEBRITY
WE have been requested to write, during this vacation, a true
and varacious account of a meeting with any Celebrity we
happened to meet during the summer. If no Celebrity, any
interesting character would do, excepting one's own Familey.
But as one's own Familey is neither celebrated nor
interesting, there is no temptation to write about it.
As I met Mr. Reginald Beecher this summer, I have chosen
him as my Subject.
Brief history of the Subject: He was born in 1890 at
Woodbury, N. J. Attended public and High Schools, and in 1910
graduated from Princeton University.
Following year produced first Play in New York, called Her
Soul. Followed this by the Soul Mate, and this by The Divorce.
Description of Subject. Mr. Beecher is tall and slender,
and wears a very small dark Mustache. Although but twenty-six
years of age, his hair on close inspection reveals here and
there a Silver Thread.
