EAST LAKE RESORT
 OPENS NEXT MONTH The improvement Work is Be-
 ing Pushed Rapidly MUCH MONEY EXPENDED
Wells Amusement Co.,, Under Direction of Jake Wells and Bradley ]. Saun- ders, Will Have Sum-
 mer Place.

The work of improving and beautifying East Lake as a summer resort prepara- tory to the opening of the theatre on May 23 has progressed rapidly and with in three weeks will be ready for the merrymaking season
 The Wells Amusement company, under the direction of Jake Wells. president, and Bradley J. Saunders, general mana ger of the East Lake Land company and the amusement company, has in- vested something like $5OOO0 in improving this beautiful park and when the work Is completed East Lake will be second to no summer resort in the south. In fact Mir. Wells says this will be the prettiest park by far south of the Mason and Dixon line.
 While no definite decision has been reached 1t Is practically certain that either the Bijou Troubadours, the Bijou Musical Comedy company or the Bijou Opera company will hold the boards the opening night. It is likely that the Bijou Musical Comedy company, with Little Chip and Mary Marble in the leading roles, will be the initial attraction.
 Attractive Theatre.
 The work of putting a roof on the aquatic theatre was begun yesterday and will be completed within week. This will make a very attractive theatre, as the sides will be left open for thorough ven- tilatop.
 The boathouse has been enlarged so as 41 tt,a nd boats have been purchased, A new naptha launch has also been secured. The old bathhouse has been torn away and new structure built that will prove one of the most enjoyable features of the resort.
 Large verandas are being constructed around the pavilion and the sides of the old structure are being torn away. In the middle of the ground floor of the pavilion a beautiful fountain will be erected, and dances can be had around this pretty orn- ament The lower floor will also be used for a general assembly hall. The upper verandas will be used as a restaurant and visitors to the lake can get meals and lu.sches here at all hours. Rocking chairs will be placed around the pavilion for the comfort of ladies'
 Other Features.
 A "carrouselle building Is being erect ed and this promises to prove a popular place of amusement, especially for chil- dren The toboggan slide or roller coast CT is also being built according to modern ideas Another amusement feature will be the laughing gallery which is set with mirrors of various shapes. The convex and concave mirrors give a ludicrous eff feet on the shape of the human body.
 A shed is being erected from the pavil- ion to the shed over the new loop erected by the street car company. This loop al- lows visitors to board cars at the entrance gate instead of the present place at the station. The sheds are so constructed that the crowds entering the park and those going out will not come in contact with each other.
 MT. Saunders said yesterday that he was delighted with the work so far and that he expected everything to be ready sev- eral days before the opening of the sum- mer theatrical season in May.
