The city is filled with professionals
from all over the country awaiting the
opening of Coney Island and other re-
sorts. The performers who appeared
at Coney Island last Sunday wore over
coats instead of short skirts and the
lemonade man sold hot coffee instead
of ice cream. People who brought
their bathing suits down with the in
tentions of taking a swim in the ocean
brought them back dry. The elk life
guards that were put on extra by the
bathing house proprietors went to sleep
bv q bonfire. The Oldest residents on
the Isle claim that last Sunday was
the coldest Sunday in June that they
ever had.
The are tbirty-two different compan-

At Payton's Theatre, Brooklyn, the

eight companies to my own knowledge
that are playing it under tents during
the summer months. It looks as If the
people all over the country have the
"UncIe Tom" craze just now. How and
when the craze will end we do not
know but we do know that If the stock
and tent companies cOntin-
ue to produce it on such cheap scales
as they have been an up-tC-date COM
pany like Brsdy's or Martins will fail
