Gayety Gre cts
Boo Snyder

The Gayety this week is re-
miniscent Of the greatest days
Of burlesque, for Bozo Snyder,
famed comedian, is back. To say
that Bozo is funnier than ever.
seems exaggerated. He always was
to us just about as funny as one
man could be, and he is still that.
It has been a number of years
since Snyder last appeared here.
He heads the big Revue" cur
rent Gayety attraction.
Bozo Snyder is a thorough
master of pantomime. Choosing
one of the most difficult of all
mediums for humor he has built
himsel a name for consistent
and able performance.
Joe Forte, clever straight nan,
assists Mr.. Snyder, capably and
smoothly.
The Carroll Sisters are playing
a return engagement. Sally Van,
Marjorie Lee, Evelyn Morgan and
Betty Duval complete the fem
mime contingent.
Eddie Fox, Ralph Walton and
Lew Petel are also present adding
to the performance in their vari-
Gus capacities.
The chorus is quite good, good
looking and smoothly trained.
The producers are to be con-
graduated. that having obtained
Bozo Snyder they do not expect
him to carry the whole show.
The performance is we'll above
average, nicely turned out, tune
full and Snappy.
It is worthwhile visiting the
Gayety this week. Not only Is
the show entertaining. but you
will see one of the greatest troup-
ers Of burlesque doing his stuff
in the good old way.

Well, the mayor of Atlantic
City looked at Convention City,"
that Warner Brothers picture
which pokes plenty of fun at
the favorite SeaShore rendezvous
of delegates with badges, and did
he burn up?
Mayor Bachrach said he didn't
mind that part about the chief
magistrate making the same vel
coming address to all arriving
conventions but the scenes por-
traying gold diggers plying their
trade among the delegates was a
libel. What he feared was that
wives might see the picture and
deliver an ultimatum something
like this:
$50 you want to go to Allan
tic City, heb? Well I've seen
that picture with those hussies
playing around for the men
folks and you don't go to that
convention unless go along"
The mayor instructed his city
solicitor to take a look at Con
vention City" and report what
legal steps could be taken to pre-
vent further screenings of this
roWdy comedy.

NEWARK, November l0.-Lost for IS
years, an earthenware cone. filled with
pebbles, has been located by engineers
of the New Jersey State e. r. A. with
the result that doubts regarding the
accuracy Of land measurements In
metropolitan New Jersey can be re-
solved accurately.
Naturally, such . discovery Is Of
highest importance to real estate in
terests, especially In Q territory under
constant development. because the
cone, or bowl, constituted the principal
triangulation point to control meas
urements over . large and extremely
valuable area.
Old Murder Recalled.
Inspiration, deduction and q bit Of
accident helped the searching party
Of engineers to md the point. The
discovery. too. recalled the century,
old murder Of Baltus Raul on Wash
ingtons birthday anniversary, in 1891.
The cone was on property formerly
owned by Raul. part Of which is now
included in the Baltusrol Golf Club.
that name being . variant of the
original.
As records indicated it should be,
the cone was located at the top OF one
ridge Of the Watching Mountains, a
few miles south Of Springfield. The
land Is now In the Watching Reserva-
ton, part Of the Union County park
system. Although the monument had
been lost, the point Springfield" as
established by the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, is one of
the most important in the Govern
ment's triangulation network and its
location was becoming more neces-
sary every year.
The engineers were directed to To-

The cone had been set In 1893 BY

Hassler had located In 1917 at an

that the description was inaccurate.
That belief led the engineers to

Of "feet." This hunt also was use

searching engineers happened to halt
at o large boulder from the face Of

The arrow was construed by the
engineers as directional to the missing
cone and this view was corroborated
when under an intensified search,
other similar arrows were found cut In
several rocks. Using these arrows to
center their lines, they decided the
cone must have been set in q certain
spot. There they began digging and
found 1t 10 inches under the surface.
Through the cone there has been an
iron rod. but time and elements had
corroded 1t, The cone itself was broken,

The cone. however, was removed and

Commission. to add to the collection
OF relics that body maintains. Other
items In the park collection include
Colonial milestones, old maps. firearms
and well-stone bearing the date 1857.
The long-lost cone has been replaced
by standard United States Coast and
Geodetic monument, properly wit
messed and referenced for all time.
