B0ARDERS MAKE WAR.

Bath Beach's Female Contingent
May boycott Floryn's Concerts.
There is trouble among the Summer
boarders at Bath Beach, and Amidee
Floryn is said to be the cause. Mr.
Floryn 10 the owner and manager Of
the open-air concert given on the site Of
the old Avon Beach Hotel. For months
Floryn's place has nourished under the
patronage Of the elite Of Bath each,
but from now on. unless q truce Is
patched UP. his once fourishins business
will be greatly decreased.
The contention arose In this manner:
Several weeks ago the women at Bath
Beach got UP q benefit for charity. 1t
was very successful, and several Of the
proprietors Of performances at the re-
sort loaned the services Of their per-
| formers.
| Two weeks ago the women proposed q
benefit for the Hebrew Sanitarium. and
to this end q committee composed of
Mrs. Silverman. Miss Swetman and Mrs.
Jacobs called on Mr.. Floryn q few days
ago and asked for the services of some
Of his performers. Floryn's wife met
them. and told them IL they would re-
turn later she would consult with the
performers and give them an answer
| Confident of success, the committee
did as requested, but, to their surprise,
Mrs. Floryn told them that the per:
formers had refused to give their aid
for the benefit of any Hebrew institu-
ton. The committee reported, and II
was decided to give the benefit last
Wednesday without Floryn's aid.
Subsequently the performers denied
having made any statements such a
they were credited with. and they pui
the blame on Floryn.
Floryn has been busy trying to patch
matters up, but, instead Of having
crowded houses, there are now many
vacant seats. In fact. many Of the
ladies Of Bath Beach who used to at
tend Floryn's concerts regularly have
signifed their intention of declaring 9
boycott upon FlorYn's place.
