“Topics of 1923” -
To Return to Apollo
' “Topics of 1923,” a tremendous
new Winter Garden production
of music, dance and beauty brings
back Delysia, of “Afgar” memo
ries, as a comedienne possessed
of even more captivating charm
than before to the Apollo for five
days, commencing next Monday.
It sets her quite bewitchingly in
the centre of a picture which is
painted in glorious colors and
framed in a mounting of really
ravishing design.
The Messrs. Schubert have not
done so fine a thing in this par
ticular field in the last five years.
. . . “Topics” trips lightly and
is genuinely funny. There is the
effect of a delicate hand at weav
ing, with the result that good taste
is almost continuously stamped
upon it.
The melodies are by Alfred
Goodman and Jean Schwartz.
Harold Atteridge wrote the book
while Jack Hoffman staged it in
a master way under the personal
direction of Mr. J. J. Shubert. In
the cast are the well known mem
bers of Winter Garden entertain
ers: Ethel Shutta, Llora Hoff
man, Bard and Pearl, Roy Cum
mings, Herbert Corthell, Barnett
Parker, Frank Green, Nat Naz
arro, Jr., Allan Prior, Harry Mc
Naughton, Billie Shaw, Catherine
Hayes, Castleton and Mack.
Jack O’Lanlera to Open Friday
Atlantic City’s newest sensa
tion, the Jack o’Lantem, will
open Friday, April 11, with the
Lynx Fraternity as their guests.
Those who have decided to at
tend the opening may be assured
of a really splendid setting. Beau
tifully decorated, the only “over
the ocean cafe,” in the resort, of
fers the famous New Hampshire
Collegians, with their snappiest
of dance music as a variety of
real meritorious entertainment.
No stone has been left un
turned by Mr. A. L. Centesinan,
the proprietor, to place the Jack
o'Lantern several notches ahead
of the best in the vicinity. Joe
Minkoff, _ popular young song
writer, will serve in the capacity
of manager, and patrons are as
sured of the best talent available.
A hearty welcome will be in
store for all who visit the Jack
o’Lantem this Friday when the
doors open at 9 P. M.

LOCAL SPORTS

Baseball Season Under Way —■
Ball Game Saturday
I _
The national pastime spirit is
in the air. It sure is a true sign
of spring and the majority of
sport fans annually welcome it
for it represents America’s sea
son of live-blooded sport, base
ball.
Games have already taken
place all over the resort but the
best part of the season is yet to
come—more good news to ye
sport fan.

League for it has enjoyed two
past seasons of large followings
and should once more attract
local fans who have a likeness
for this American sport.
One of the most important
parts in connection with the
league is that strict taboo in re
gards to professional players is
the order this season, and you
have the word of W. Lloyd Lip
pincott, former president and
one of the organizers, for this
statement. This puts the sport
on the good ole’ amateur basis.
The eligibility for the league
this season is that a player must
have been in the service of the
company or corporation for 12
months previous to the actual
start of the season, which will be
in the early part of next month.
The league boasts of clean
amateur players and affords ex

Conrad’s Comedy In Rehearsal!
—
Eugene Conrad, High School
graduate and popular ex-resident,
has just informed his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. H. E.-Conrad, of the
Reed Apartments, that his play,
“Top Hole,” is in rehearsal in
New York and is expected to de
but early in May or possibly even
in April. Lynn Overman, the
hero of the sea-sick tale “Over
night,” has been selected for the
lead in this musically bedecked
comedy of golf.
“Top Hole” which is probably
the first play to be written and
produced from the pen of an At
lantic City author, was originally
scheduled to play the Apollo last
August but was shelved by the
Messrs. Shubert until the present
time.

hope to see a flashy game.
Captain Richard. Pereyra says

Charley Dooin
Charley Dooin, former star
catcher for the Philly Nationals,
will feature at the backstop posi

season in the Atlantic County
League.
Dooin is probably one of the
greatest catchers ever developed
in the National League and has
played with Melrose for the past
three seasons. He ranks as one
of the most consistent hitters in
the league.
Needless to say, Dooin mil
greatly strengthen the Roses
in their quest for the Atlantic
County League crown.
That’s that ’till next week.
