penditure of more than half million
dollars. are under way to create for
New York City an sll-year seaside re-
sort at Brighton Beach. Chauncey
Marshall who controls the Brighton
Beach Development Company, is the
man behind the venture. He places his
faith in the success of the plan on the
results of a study of climatic condi-
tions. which, he says, have conclusive
" proved that there are more pleasant
winter days at Brighton Beach than at
Atlantic City. The average tempera-
ture. he says, Is more balmy than the
Jersey coast resort, and, most lmpor-
tant of all, Brighton Beach Is onIy

An auto run to the beach, he predicts,
will become the ideal little winter

The plans for entertainment during
the fall winter and early spring
months include indoor surf bathing

have a truly Partisan cafe, an Italian
restaurant, where spaghetti Will be
one of the chief dishes. and an Eng
Nsh tearoom. There will also be va
rious shops where useful articles from
every corner of the world may be pur-
chased. Other features will be an in
door erry-go-round, a huge inclosed
sand pile. and many other sports for
the children.
The work of reconstructing the Ave
nue. of Little Shops and making the
various Enclosures and the installation
of the most improved heating and
lighting devices will be begun the day
after Labor Day. The most important
work of all will be the glass covering
of the big Brighton Beach pool, which
is circular, and the water of which
flows in from the ocean, ten feet away,
through a screened device, with the
same freshness and continual change
with which il breaks on the unob-
structed shore. II is the only pool in
America which is so constructed, and
the only place where winter bathing

lounging about in bathing suits com
Portable and pleasant. Balconies will
be built ten feet above the floor sur
rounding the pool and under the glass
roof sun baths and sun tan, IL desired,

of the pool will be portable. in order
that a return to open air swimming
may be made during the summer
months. The pool will not be covered
until the middle of October.
The plan for inclosing the tennis
courts is not yet completed. II will be
big undertaking. and the chief OBJ
stacle in the way of a glass Enclosure
is the size of the courts, which were
built by Michael Honan. builder of the
Davis Cup international championship

many professionals who have played on
