- VARIETY 25 I they should advance. With what they have they can get along nicely where they are. 'Archie Strauss and Margaret Lamar have put together a singing and talking act which should do very well when working at top speed. Now the girl needs to add some life to her work. She recently was half of a sister-team, while Strauss sang with a song sheet. He has a good voice. They have made 'a good start and should improve. Sylvester .won his share with his tricks of magic, his palming being especially worthy. He slips in a fairly good line of talk and made a hit with Ethel Golden by telling her fortune, though she said it was not true. Ethel plays .the "Pop" houses, too, and she ought to [know. The Bushklrks did nicely with their musical act, the novelty playing scoring. The comedy is light, but the act secured good : results. ..Emerson and Co. use talk and sing- ing. The latter is the best, the talk failing to vreach because of the way it is handled. The man is mostly at fault. Probably that is the reason why he Is styled just "Co." in the billing. Great Adams is a comedy cyclist, lrty dressing spoils any chance he had here r will ever have. He should clean up at nee and then select a better way of making p his face. His riding is not bad.

Newspaper Row, for a pic- ture house. The building has been leased for thirty years by the owners of the Beacon theatre. Jacob Laurie, In charge of the Beacon, will take hold of the new house. ■George H. Robinson, * local real estate fealer. has brought suit against the Barnura gnd Bailey Circus In the sum of $2,000 for ln- turles he received when he was struck on the lead with a brick by an employee of the circus, June 4, 1910, while the circus was playing here. Farrcn ft Edwards, former lessees of the Columbia (Loew's South End), can rave the entrance to the theatre, which they claim they are entitled to, for $4,000 a year, the year to consist of a season of forty weeks, Recording to a ruling of former assistant at- torney-general Fred. T. Field, who was ap- pointed master on the case by the courts. The former lessees claimed that they were the rightful owners of the entrance as they had made the alterations on the property after they had taken the lease of the house. The piaster ruled that they could have the en- trance for the price named, but couldn't use It for the sale of tickets, or a theatre, nor Could they keep the house open. The mas- ter finds that a fair rental for the entire building containing the theatre and the property Adjoining, would be $16,000 a year, and placed the value of the entrance at a quarter of that figure. The value of the entire property was placed at $166,000 by the master. The Home Savings Bank held a mortgage on the property and foreclosed It. The property was bought by Marcus Loew and turned into a "Smalltimer." This lasted but a short time. It Is now In Its second week as a stock house. The fight for the property had been through every court In the state. The master's finding shows that Ed- wards ft Farren have not been Injured by their loss of property.

Thi« resort is a monument to its own grandeur. Its waters of wide expanse afford every aquatic pleasure and delight. Its pines are noble and stately—and are not a misnomer for scrub oak. ' It stands in the front rank of health and pleasure resorts because it appeals to people who desire to build theiiucottage or bunga- low where the outlay is within the reach of modest incomes, and where they can find lifelong enjoyment in the "Great Outdoors"—and in the "Air That Builds." The speculative investment feature at Ocean Gate is no less attractive—as one hurried glance over the property will make one appreciate the reason. Ocean Gate progresses without competition, for nature endowed it so bountifully that many of its followers think it a sacrilege to attempt to add to its beauty. Its vastness is one of its best assets, because at the rate of its present upbuilding many active interests are bound to become a part of it, and values soar accord- ingly. Besides Shore Front properties within convenient access of large cities appeal to thinking people, knowing, as they do that available beach properties are restricted in area, and when that little is developed nothing remains, so it is plain that those who hold property at the shore may rest secure in the knowledge that their holdings mean monopoly and that values must increase in ratio as demands exceed the supply. Shams and false booms have no place at OCEAN GATE. Everything at that resort is real, healthful and lasting. Its present advantages are yacht club, water mains through the streets, Boardwalk, railroad station in the heart of the property, Post Office, over two hundred cottages and bungalows, and other attractive features.
