JAPANESE TROUPE NOW
AT THE APOLLO THEATRE
Vaudeville Show Now Playing at
This Playhouse for Holidays.

The vaudeville show which will be
presented at the Apollo Theatre this
Friday and Saturday, matinee and
evening, is n of the very best vari-
ETY. programs eve presented in the
popular Boardwalk Playhouse.
The Kama Zawa Japs and the Four
Slickers carry off the honors of the
entertainment equally. This is the
second appearance of the famous
Kama Kawa Japs and they create
something of a sensation. It is like
wise a return of the Four Slickers,
who are nothing short of a sensation,
with their hilarious "rube" offering.
Nan Hewings and Company offer
'The New Nurse" which proves a
brilliant and humorous comedy sketch.
Freddie Weber, as the Crying Mimic,
receives his well-deserved share of the
applause for a unique offering in ven
triloquism. Burke and Watson, a
olack-face team, have a dialogue that
is entirely new and results in leaving
the audience in a laughing state at
the end Of their act. Lucier and Lu-
cier present some sensational ariel
and a~crobatic feats. This is an Eu-
ropean trapeze and bar act and one
of the entirely different kind. The
comedy pictures are very good also.
If you want to start the New Year
laughing and in a happy frame of
mind, see the vaudeville show at the
Apollo; it's a laughter tonic.

miles north of Atlantic City, was the
place specifically named by Colonel
Stevens as the southern extremity of
a now unprotected strip of coast of
about t~hirty-siX miles, the northern
point of which Is Toms River.
This has led to the belief that the
authorities at Washington are con-

and it has been pointed out hat with
Sandy Hook strongly fortified, Sea

ITALIAN INDEPENDENT CLUB
WOULD BUILD FINE HOME.

The Italian Independent Club, an
institution organized and incorporat-
ed by Joseph Boney, Frank P. Pasca-
relic, N. A. Orlando, John B. Ordille
and Charles Celona, leading citizens in
the Italian colony at this place, and
of which N. A. ORLANDO is president,
Joseph Boney secretary and Charles
Celona treasurer, is making strenu-
Gus efforts to raise sufficient money
to build a club house which is to be
used not only for pleasure and enter
tainment, but for the instruction and
enlightenment of Italian immigrants
who may desire to become citizens of
the United States. The movement
had its inception in a school estab-
lished by Paul Pascarello at his own
home, where he invited his country
men to meet for the study of English,
and through which he was instrument
tai in securing naturalization papers
for several men, who otherwise might
never have obtained them. Finding
the home school becoming too small
to meet the growing demands, Mr..
P~ascarello induced the above named
gentlemen to go in with him, with
the result that they have already a
neat sum of money in bank and ex-
pect to begin building in the near fu-
tura.
