THE LAUGH PARADE OF 1936
BLIND MAN'S BIFF. --

Here's a horse that sleeps in a regular bed, with blankets and a downy quilt. He's a bit undersized, so his owners try to fatten him up at a place laid at their own table. (Mrs. Astor Please Note).
HE WON THE SWEEPS.--
A picture of perfect calm is provided by one of the men whose luck brought him the first prize in the Irish Sweepstakes. But his wife gives "a good substantial yell" over their fortune.
HE LOST THE SWEEPS.--
John Q. Dohp represents the majority of Sweepstakes ticket-holders in his sad but untearful explanation of how it feels to lose. This was a three-week hold-over on Broadway.
