em blt corporation t6 bo capltallztd nt
11,000,000. Mr. Hunt entered tho
moving-picture business in thia city
ibout a decade ago with the Jumbo
Theatre, now n battery, and with faith
md perseverance became tho head of u
irodlcato owning and operating a string
of theatres. lie will build two beautiful
p!jhouBcs here this year, to be opened
nut season. The plans for both struc
tures were prepared by Mark B.
Beeves, a local architect. The first, tho
Kza Theatre, will adjoin on tho ocean
ride the Casino Auditorium, where for
are years the Municipal Orchestra con
certs have been given. The 1'Inza will
he a capacity of 2500. It will contain
lirce organ and have nn orchestra pit
ctpabie of seating twenty-five musi
cians. The grand entrance to this
ecean-front theatre will bo on the new
boardwalk, now under erection at Cedar
avenue.
The Itialto Theatre will be located on
the nw boardwalk at Oarflcld avenue.
It will have a frontage of 80 feet nnd a
depth of 200 feet. The structure will
contain a costly organ nnd every device
known to modern theatres. The cost of
that playl:ouo will be $100,000. The
BIo. Hke the Plaza, will be so con
tracted that its stage may be used for
notion pictures or musical or dramatic
rroduftlons. Mr. Hunt says "the
theatre will equal if not surpass the
finest theatre on .the New Jersey coast. '
A Journey through the resort from
Anjleoea to the Crest will reveal an
Mtounding number of recently, com
pleted bungalows, cottages, npart
aenti, dwellings nnd stores, nnd n ne
mal of the order books'of contractors
and builders shows $500,000 worth of
itroetures yet to be built. Most of the
bultdcra express the belief tbe major
Cortlon of those new contracts will not
c stnrted until autumn.
Kntcrpriscs now under way, like the
rest room nn tlii North Wlldwood
boardwalk, tho new boardwalk In the
Srponrl nnil TMr1 Wnrrtn of Wlldwood
and the new stores nnd buildings to be
erected thereon, will be carried to com
pletion this summer.
Resort Blessed With Amusements
Thcro is one thin? n flrst-tlme visitor
to Wlldwood always says, nftcr a stroll
on the boardwalk from the ocean to the
Atlantic Piers, und that Is, "Ion cer
tainly have nlcntv of nmuscments."
And a review of the list of some shows
tho Ocean Pier, with tn Funchnne. Jov-
Innd. for the kiddles; bowling alleys
and hosts of other devices: It is a vert-
tabic narndlsc for excursionists. A
stroll southwnrd from Juniper avenue
unfolds shops and amusements on the
landward side of the esplanade Stop
ping nt Oak avenue, one cannot help'
but note the many changes wrought In
tho CnRlno Auditorium. The Interior
has been entirely changed; a handsome
dancing floor replaces the ordinary
floor, whero hundreds of chairs reposed
for music lovers; a neatly built fene
Inclosurp affords dancing space for 400
couples, tables around the inclosure of
fering hospitable enticement to tho fa-
tieucd danccrn to "nit nut tho next
one1' and drink a soda whllo doing so.
For those who do not dance the large
balcony beckons a welcome. Tho open
ing of tho Casino Auditorium wilt be on
June 24, when the entire proceeds will
be turned over to Byron Pennington
Croker Post, No. 184, A. L.f of this
city.
Throughout the Arcade and the Ca
sino Pier property one cannot help but
notice the number of new amusements,
including the trained pigs, which take
a slide when ah accurately thrown base
ball releases the lever on their cages.
At Cedar avenue the big amusement
center of, Rhonda dominates everything
the giant Jack Rabbit coaster, Ye
Oldo Mill. Merry-Go-Round, Whip
Novelty, shooting galleries, attractive
stores and other amusements. This Is
in itself a regular amusement nark.
At Andrews avenue, the Atlantic
Pier, long Idle, now shows activity. The
entire first floor is turned into pictur
esque booths, refreshment counters nnd
lunch rooms. Tho credit for this Ira
rovements belongs to Frank Topham, an
experienced hotel proprietor of Camden
and this city. On the second floor on
auditorium has been built capable of
Beating 000 persons, nnd two broad
platzas afford additional space for 200
more. In this new auditorium the
Municipal Band concerts will be given
twice dally, tho Roselle Band, popu
larly known at many watering places,
being engaged for the summer season.
At the Municipal Pier at Wlldwood
Croat a. delightful orchestra of women
musicians will furnlnh the entertain
ment nftcrnoons and evenings for the
'cottagers and visitors there, bowllpg
alleys. shuQleboards and other amuse
ments offering ample diversion to those
desiring to remain near home each eve
ning.
Tennis courts, both private nnd pub
lic, aro avallablo ,n many narts of the
resort. Quoits a big attraction nt the
Florida resorts In the winter, are gain
ing in form' this season and many con
tests can bo viewed at the quoit court
on Wlldwood avenue near the Board
walk. Tropshootlng seems to be In
lomarid this season-, and a number of
tho hotels are speaking of having trap
shooting tournaments as an added attraction.
As a means L,of enlightening the per
son who has never been to Wlldwood,
it might be well to mention that Its
geographical location is in the south
eastern section of New Jersey, Is the
same latitude as Washln-' n, D. C, its
temperature exceeding in dcllghtfulncss
