BY BRADLEY W. TRENT. NEW YORK, August 21.—Coney Island is going about iis supposedly mirthful ways with something of the doleful mien of a professional pall- bearer. | The world-famous amusement re- sort at New York’s doorway has been feeling sad enough just in contem- | plation of its poorest business season | In many vears, due to the tardiness of warm weather and the recent sub- way strike. But that wasn't the| worst. The police stepped in with | some new fdeas in traffic regulations | --and now there will be no more | ballyhoos at Coney Island. One who has never heard and| seen Coney's deep-voiced barkers, as they coax dimes and quarters from the pockets of the crowds at a hundred gaudy canvas fronts on the midways, may not appreciate just what this means to the old resort. It is suspected that many a veteran showman broke right down and| cried when he heard of the police commissioner’s order. ! Crowds Will Miss Them. Coney Island has been trying to untangle its growing traffic and the | barker was ruled out by the police | in the interest of better traffic con- | trol. Folks would linger and listen | to the spiels of the barkers in front | of the sideshows and the police said | they were staggering the traffic. | With around 50,000 motor cars and 800,000 people visiting the resort on Sundays, the jam of wheels and feet | becomes ' terrific. | Time was when you could go to| Coney Island with only subway fare | in vour pocket and get an evening's | free entertainment just listening to the barkers' “line.” But no longer | will “Bosco™ and the “Bearded Lady” | be proclaimed in strident tones along the hoardwalk. | One old-time showman almost wept | as the writer asked him how Coney | Island regarded the police edict. | v showman spirit falters at the | thought of destroying the ballyhoo,” | ne sald. “Much has disappeared that was traditional at Coney Island and for which it was unique and famed | the world around.

Yt was t golden-voiced gent who, standing alongside the mysteri- | ous young woman asleep In the mid- | air, “assured you that it was his | superior power that kept her afloat | in the ether, and that for the price of o dime, 10 cents, yvou could step rig side and see more of this | amazing aggregation of wonders.” | he old showman sighed aloud. | into glory another insti- 1t leaves in soli- | tary sartorlal grandeur that | Demosthenes of all ballyhoo talkers, | Lee Graham of circus fame, who, | i + shine in any clime, always appeared as a high-hatted Beau Brummel with a Bryan flow of elo- | quence to back up the pictured ban- ners of the wonders beneath the tent. Back of Y.ee Graham are a host of famous ballvhoo men. One who recently died was® “Eddie of Coney Island,” who, on his little platform. talked with an earnestness that made dimes rattle on the ticket shelf like a Summer shower. Men have -ome and gone in Coney Island whose spiels were sure-fire money getters, | but nore was ever better than Omar | Semi, whose gestures and half-| whispered voice always sold the tickets in an air of mystery. i Perched in Palm Tree.
