ment section. Here Edward G.
Shapiro, of New York and Philadel.
phia. and one of the best caterers in
this line In the East holds forth. While
Mr.. Shapiro runs his department in q
business like way he has a cheerful
smile for all corners and Is q likeable
and pleasant young man excellently
adapted for the important post he oc.
cupies. Prof. Harry Roselle, the well
known Camden dancing master and
the "pride of the gilded ball room, 2
runs the second deck of the pier In
clean snappy style. The pier ball room
is undoubtedly the prettiest and most
commodious on the southern coast and
Is almost nightly graced by the sea-
shore bellies. The Sunday night classic
concerts under Sig. Josef Troilo, the
manager Of the Royal Italian Band
which made a hit or the pier last sea-
son. is making a society bit and crowds
aggregating q thousand of the islands
best flock to the beautiful auditorium
on the end of the pier. Tomorrow
night will be American night in music
and Proprietor Herman Buchborn has
decorated the place in a most fetching
manner with hundreds of lights and
flags. The band is playing in great
form under the new wonder in leader
Dominance Cianfoni, who has Vassalia
and all the big band leaders done to a
FRAGILE in the way of bodily gyrations.
He is the soul of music however and
wakes so inspired that he sings and
becomes enthusiastic in the extreme.
The band responds and in the render
ing of operate classics-many of which
are direct French and Italian band i'm
portations-make a series of hits each
Sunday night at the popular musicales
on the pier. Manager Troilo has been
congratulated on all sides on the strict
discipline and ability of his corps of %
musicians, ten of whom are soloists of
great ability. Leader Cianford plays
the baritone valve trombone with rare
tone. Such things as Children's par
ties, Merry Widow dances and the Sat-
urday night receptions keep things on
the jump in the ball room, while the
Friday evening basket ball games in
terest the sports. Jimmy" Weart the
trusted confidential clerk of Keystone
Leather works, runs down ION foot)
over Sundays and casts his eagle eye
over the pier accounts. Mr.. Vert who
halls from a place called Palmyra,
wherever that is, is candidate there for
mayor on a fusion ticket this fall. Sam
uel Tobias, the erstwhile doughty
mayor of the board walk, car not be
found in his usual haunts behind the
soft stuff counter in the skating rink.
Some were unkind enough to remark
that Sam was engaged In pumping the
water out of the pier basement during
the day and pumping 1t back agaip at
Inlgns he nay s1ig6l
is hid uf,llk q bushep Tor a time. RusL.
toms Philadelphia orchestra enchants
the dancers in the ball room and Is q
most creditable bunch of musicians.
The efforts of Prof. VIM. Rushton are
vastly appreciated by the throngs who
visit the famous white ball room.
The screaming farce comedy 'Turned
Up,n and the beautiful pastoral play
"Out of the Foldn are Messrs. Stanford
& Westerns selections for week ofAug,
Ord, at Bakers Theatre. "Turned
Upu is without doubt as funny If moi
more laughable than any comedy pro
duced SO far this season. 1t abounds
in humorous situations, and the plot il
is such as to make everyone sit up and
take notice. "Out of the Foldn has nc
equal. That is saying a great deal
when you consider such plays as "Way
Down East" "Up York State,
"Lover's Lane,n etc. Critics have pro.
nounced this the best pastoral drams
ever written. The moral Is so good
clean and wholesome, and the charac.
tiers are so very decided. Messrs. Stan
ford & Western have gone to no little
expense to secure this beautiful play
and have spared no pains to make il
the best offering Of the season so far
The third act depicts a typical country
school with the schoolroom full OF
children, the we'll known bad boy, the
country school director, etc. No one
can afford to miss this production, and
we feel sure every one will agree with
us that this is the only pastoral play
