ATLANTIC CITY. By CHARLES SCHETJBR. Atlantic City is enjoying a prosperity that It exceptional, and bouse records are being con- stantly broken. There seem* no limit to tbe possibilities of weather and crowds In gathering to the one and tame result. Capacity business in the local theatres has been tbe rule for the past few weeks. Tbe Globe, until the strike, bad been doing a buainess that has been near capacity dally, despite the fact that it has been known as a "Jonah" bouse in the past, and has a capacity of practically a thousand seat* on the orchestra floor. Vaudeville entered tbe Globe this week with Keltb booking acts. The pleasures to be en- Joyed here are due to the theatrical strike and tbe unwillingness of A, H. Woods to continue bit openings here with the uncertainty of their fate on a New York arrival. Louie N. Cline, of the Broadhuret office. Is at the shore, taking advantage of the strike to gain a.needed rest: Mary and Florence Nash, who have been at the shore for sometime, left recently for New York on consultation with producers who are Interested In striker situations. Others come and go for similar purposes constantly, Al Juison being one of tbe most fleeting of visitors. BALTIMORE. By F. D. OTOOLB.
