Waiter—Yes, sir. band? Coney (Continued from page 16) but I have yet to see one who did anything more than sit on a stool and glower savagely at the folks around the platform. 1 The Coney Island missing link and mind reader are just the same as the hundred and one missing links and mind readers who have made the yokels gape these three score years and more The missing link is usually some estimable Harlem dinge who, rather than work himself to death running an elevator, prefers to earn an easy living sitting on a platform, putting on a vacant stare and brushing imaginary bugs off his cuff. And the mind readers are gen- erally called that because they have developed their minds to the point where they are able to believe that the boobs who patronize them have minds to read. In addition to the mind readers, we also find the so- called mental marvels. A mental marvel is a performer who can tell exactly what his confederate in the audience is thinking about. There are a variety of so-called rides at Coney. The basic principle of most of them is to make a person pay out good money for being made [ seasick and for the added privilege of “TEA FOR TWO” Is that an instruction to the kitchen or to the —Humorist taking a chance at having an arm and a couple of legs broken. The sensation which one enjoys on these scenic railways, rocky roads to Dub- lin, giant roller-coasters and so on is akin to being in a cemetery during an earthquake. Then, too, in addi- tion to this species of mechanical joy, there is the kind of ride that consists in going along on a level through a long series of dark tunnels. This ride is set out as bait for loving suckers who see in it an opportunity for five minutes of catch-as-catch-can kissing. The joker lies in the cir- cumstance that just as the kiss is about to reach its meridian, the tunnel is suddenly and embarrass- ingly illuminated with a papier- maché spectacle of Neptune’s daugh- ter, Daphnis and Chloe or Ajax Defying the Lightning. Coney changes from year to year only in matters of the smallest detail. Thus, the only comparatively new feature this year is a side show called “The Underworld of Chinatown,” Add similes—as safe as Jack Dempsey’s new nose. adge will pay $5 for Gach one printed 20 i comicbooks.com
