Of the enterprise, contrary to
rumors, to be in excellent condition.

ton to the main structure, was hit
by the effects of the gale.
All the giant concrete supports
and piltngs on which the great
structure is built, are intact and the
famous amusement center withstood
the hurricane vehemence with but
minor Ill effects.
The full complement of theater
shows, movies, vaudeville and other
attractions were in full swing day
following the storm.
