this city have had the attention
accorded the skit which members
of the Lions’ Club performed for
the interest of their fellow mem
bers and lady friends at their
recent jollification evening at the
Breakers.
Certainly none of the varied list
of amateur events can claim
nearly as much from a source of
original authorship, for this bit
of satire pointed at the Directors
of the Club, was composed, staged
and acted entirely by their own
members*
Most of the credit for the event
goes to Harold Brand, whose writ
ing of the playlet provided many
a laugh and a smoothness of pro
cedure which attentively engaged
the audience, while at the same
time hardly ever overstepping the
bounds of satire amid the diffi
culties of plot maintenanfce.
The tale was aimed ht the Di
rectors, personal foibles being the
essential spots of attack. To
heighten the well known char
acteristics of these men they were
travestied by fellow members
whose appearance was the near
est to the extreme opposite.
Walter Bew held the central
role, that of a bachelor who lived
in fear of the feminine. The role
was so well played that it quite
covered the personality of the
actor and fulfilled the execution
of Mr. Brand’s plot with ease and
satisfaction to all concerned, in
cluding of course, the audience.
If there were any direct hit to
be found, it undoubtedly belonged
to the greatest surprise of the
evening, Ex-Sheriff A1 Perkins,
whose acting in the part of a
policeman was exceeded only by
the introduction of a solo dance
to a melodeon accompaniment.

ported by the public, the return

This new taximeter certainly
is a wonder. Personally, I have
about enough mechanical ability
to run a wheelbarrow, but it is
no trouble to see that a taxi
meter which absolutely assures
me that I am paying only the
proper rate for my ride appeals
to my sense of what is right and
square. Like most other Ameri
cans, I like to confer special tip
for service rendered, but I’ll be
darned if I don’t dislike being
rogued out of it.
the leading man; Hiram Mathis,
as a Boardwalk scavenger, and
George Whitson, as a servant, to
gether with Wallace Andrews, as
an Irish serving girl, completed
the roster of those who did well
that which was privileged to them
in the ever difficult field of satire.
The playlet was nreceded by
some vaudeville—mosny original.
Sylvia Bring, daughter of Ignatz
Bring, proffered youthful inter
pretations of the dance; Mrs.
Thomas Dunlop cheered the pro
ceedings with well rendered
soprano lyrics; Beryl Walker
danced originally.
Lothair Rich, assisted by A1
Perkins, gave an original version
of the intoxicated male. A
novelty, exceptionally well ex
ecuted, was a burlesque oh the
dance interpretation of Mend
elssohn’s Spring Song, in which
Frank Imhoff and Dennis Gorm
ley did wonders with a limited
stage space.

1821 ATLANTIC AVENUE Atlantic City, N. J.
It is worth a ride in a Yellow
Taxi just to see how this new
meter attends to its duty. With
the entrance of the rider and the
i raising of the “on duty” flag, the
! meter starts the register in tenths
| of miles, showing on its face the
first zone rate of 30 cents, which
pays for a third of a mile of
travel. As each additional third
mile is passed the meter registers
an extra 10 cents and 20 cents
for each additional passenger on
the entire trip.
ia at me ena oi tne trip,
however, that this new mechani
cal wonder does its big work.
Not only does it issue a numbered
check, which shows the exact
amount owed by the patron, but
it automatically registers the
amount of this check and its num
ber on a tell-tale sheet inside—
a sheet which only can be removed
by the superintendent of the
meter department at the end of
the taxi day.
“This gives us an absolute
check and record,” stated Mr.
Meyers. “If a patron believes
that he or she has been over
1 ■
i charged, they have only to bring
the receipt check to this office for
exact tally with the record made
by our meters and which show
every fraction of mile traveled,
every time stop and practically
every move made by the taxicab
while it was in service. This fea
ture we believe will show the
public that we are not only abso
lutely honest ourselves, but that
we force our drivers to be honest
or to pay back any excess
charges.”
The new Yellow Cab taximet
ers do other things which are a
bit beyond my non-mechanical
mental ability to describe. On
the tally sheet at end of each day
is recorded the number of miles
traveled in non-productive dis
tance and time in going after
fares; as stated before, the meter
kindly eliminates cost for time
where delays are caused by me
chanical or tire trouble.
