death in the form of amusement" we
asked this veteran purveyOr Of
thrills.
They don't" was the reply. There
isn't one Of. them who thinks for a
minute he is taking a chance The
patrons of this park depend upon US
TO provide nothing which really risks
life or limb Something that appears
uO-yes. every time But II must be
appearance only. Ny statement that
not one Of our patrons cares to take
an actual chance needs qualifying a
little This very reliance Of the
American people on the ability Of our
engineers to provide thrills without
risks IS a constant temptation to
those engineers to explore further
into the danger zone; and to get I'D
frea Killings that defy the laws OF
nature and everything else. Some Of
these work all right for a while, then
nobody is benefited by IL except the
undertakers and the doctors. But we
have had very few accidents here in
Luna park. Our efforts now are
bent towards providing mirth pro-
vOking devices instead Of weird
thrillers. We have many more OF
the former kind now than ever be-
fore and we hope to eduacte the
American public up to the point
where we won't have to slam them
over this tower here out into the
ocean in order to amuse them"
Just then the wild scream OF a
bevy Of girls riding down an incline
of about IS degrees interrupted the
conversation and our interest was
drawn in another direction

Theater Patrons VIII Have a
BriefRespite as New Sea-
son Opens, In August.
By EMORY b. CALvERF.)

N OF ho rare 514 %. ss Of the IS y sas
in which no new theatrical pro-
duction in New York can be reported
All the summer shows for metropolitan
consumption have been launched and
now we have entered upon that brief
respite which lies between the clean
ing up OF the hot months offerings
and the opening Of the regular Broad
way season. And this period is becom-
ing orle1er every year. For instance
II was but a few years ago when no
manager would have had the temerity
10 open his regular season before the
latter part Of September. Then they
began TO encrOach on August, the last
Two weeks OF that month being gen
orally accepted as the great spawning
season, so to speak, Of the big theat-
Tical fishes. Now several managers
are advertising openings that are TO
take place in the I1rst and second
weeks Of August, and IL would not be
at all surprising II some ambitious
rivals didn't steal march on them
by opening in July.
COuey Holds Interest.
In the meantime while inspired pens
are depicting the glOries Of New York
as a sumner resort these being, Of
course champions Of the summer shows
now running here, the people are In
dulglnE In their annual paStime Of
visiting COney Island and other sea
side places where the amusements are
more suited TO the summer appetite.
II one wishes to study the psychOl-
OgT Of amusements there IS no place
or the face Of the earth that lends it
self better to his scientific researches
thar COney Island This great play
ground Of the people can now boast Of
only one great show place, Luna park
But If one isn't satisfied after indulg-
ing In all the hectic pasumes that
this park has to offer, why. there is
still the Brooklyn bridge to jump
from or an aerOplane to 90 up IN
Variety Of Thrills.
After q visit TO the famous park
one wonders how many inspired man
iacs were called In TO cOllabOrate in
devising the infinite variety Of thrill
promoting features. Such mild diver
siOns as shooting the chutes, which
was amply able TO furnish all the sen
satiOn our youthful soul craved. while
II is still doing duty at COney Island,
is now patrOniZed only by nervous
old ladies and crippled old men af-
IiCted with angina pectOris and are
prohibited therefore from doing any
thing exciting.
All the old time honored thrill pro
ouCers, OF most Of them, have been laid
on the shelf and an entirely new set
OF emotion searchers have appeared
IF you think that some of the

TO see the stuff we have had to turn

We entered the office The manager

they are so all fired convincing. Our
idea, of course, Is TO lead the world
in furnishing the amusement loving
public all the thrills il can stand
with absolute safety But sometimes
we let our caution defraud US
For instance. A few years ago q,
man blew in here with an idea He
explained Il to US in all its details
He was a practical engineer We
promptly denounced the invention as
a death dealing device which would
undoubtedly cost US all our money
in paying damage claims and then
send us to Jail for life. But every
objection we made he met with a sci
entific argument It was too deep for
US. All we could see was people fly
ing through space in all directions
bound for kingdom come. So we
passed it up Today that same con-
traptiOn is one Of the standard joy
