OCEAN PIER NEWS
The New Ocean Pier is a big place
and it takes a great number OF people
to crowd 1t, but crowded it is night
after night.
The theatre, afternoon and evening, is
simply packed with lovers of good
vaudeville. Manager Johnson is wear
ing a large and happy smile and has
that box of cigars ~"cinched." The
artists are Marzello and Wolfe, an
English team of clever fellows, whose
double horizontal bar and knockabout
antics combined with their eccentric
makeup and screamingly funny
wrestling, keep the audience In a roar
from start to ending. Billy Humphreys
comes next. He is billed as a musical
mimic and succeeds In cleverly imita-
ting among other instruments the vio-
lin and cello. limitations of these instru-
ments are rarely attempted by the
average mimic. The Great Richars
close the bill. kichars' act is well
known the country over. In this line
he is apart FROM all others. The beau
tifnl light effects, expensive costumes
and graceful dancing is remembered
by those who saw him here four years
ago and hosts of his friends have re-
newed their acquaintance with him.
A large band stand has been erected in
the main building of the Pier and
Troilo's Royal Italian Band render the
morning concert there to the delight Of
q large throng who travel up our Tin
P 1auethsr
are given in the \dlion, after
Moons and evenings. Signor Cianfoni
made a hit last Sunday evening by in
sorting a few popular numbers in his
program. Miss Anna Elizabeth Kelly,
the sololst of the evening, delighted her
many Wildwood admirers. Roller
skating has taken a new lease of life in
Wild wood at least and in response to
the popular demand for extra skating
sessions, the pier management have
decided to have skating every after
noon in addition to Tuesday and Thurs
day evenings. The skates are kept in
good order and as the rink Is supplied
with over 300 pair every skaters wants
can be looked after. Trollo's big band
furnishes the latest popular marches
aud waltzes. When Prof. Roselle, of
the Floral ball room, was asked con-
corning the business as compared with
last year his reply was "Way ahead
and when Il sees the crowds that
flock to the children's parties on Mon
day and Thursday evenings it certain
ly proves the Professor knows whereof
he speaks. Tuesday evenings prize
waltz was warmly contested for and
was won by John Kitchens and Miss
Mary Slavin. Basket ball packs the
house OF Friday evenings with those
who love this exciting sport. The
dance that follows the game is enjoy
able.
The new Ottens ball team are play
ing good ball and this week won two
games, one from the Greylock team,
on Tuesday and one from Court House
on Wednesday, by a score of A to 8.
Tomorrow they play Millville and
next Wednesday they go up against
