oO > AMUSEMENT RESORT ONNORTH SHORE SITE Great New Amusement Gar- den to Be Located West of Glencoe WORK ALREADY ON New Place to Be Called "Garden of Eden" A $750,000 establishment, * known as the "Garden of Eden," which will be the greatest amusement resort in this part of. the country, will be located at the intersection of Wauke- gan and Dundee roads, west of Glen- coe, according to an announcement this week. The owners are Frank L. Hoffman, 2041 Kenilworth avenue, and Andrew Bauer, 2306 Kenilworth avenue, Chi- cago. Mr. Hoffman last Saturday negotiated a $400,000 loan through the Chicago Title and Trust company. Briefly this is what the modern Garden of Eden will be: A combina- tion of country club and a glorified amusement garden of the Marigold type, only much larger, more modern and gorgeous. For instance, work already is under way on the casino, a structure 300 feet long and 150 feet wide, in the Spanish type of architecture. There will be a large cafe with seats for 2,400, and a dancing flcor large enough for 2,000 couples at one time. Plenty of Dancing Space On the stage elaborate revues will be given, changing every two months, with big time vaudeville and dancing by guests during the evening, In warm weather the open air dancing floor will be used. This will be sur- rounded by tables for 10,000, with room for 25,000 in an emergency. The upper floors of the casino will be used for private parties and spe- cial banquets. The main banquet room will seat 1,800. A. J. Fisher & Son are the architects. Electric Fountain Hollister & Root, landscape archi- tects, have drawn an elaborate and beautiful grouping of buildings, drives, fountain and lake on the wooded tract. After leaving the ca- sino and open air dance space, one crosses an artificial lake by a small bridge, coming to a $50,007 electric fountain. Passing this one comes to the Gar- den of Iden Golf club, a separate organization. The initiation fee to this will be $250 with no further dues, says Mr. Hoffinan. Club members may attend the revues without cost. The general public will pay $1.10, ac- cording to present plans. George O'Neil is chairman of the greens committee of the club, and is laying out the miniature eighteen hole course. There'll be tennis courts and other outdoor attractions. Tour- naments and exhibitions will be staged weekly, "Chick" Evans is Hcleott mm Undertaker I am now 'in business for myself, conducting the ONLY undertaking estab- ishment in Wilmette.

Busses to Paradise Arrangements have been made with the same company which operates the busses from Carson Pirie's to the west side stations to run a bus line de luxe along the North Shore. The contemplated fare will be $1. Mr. Hoffman was emphatic in his statement that the Garden of Eden will contain no applejack. It's not to be a road house in any sense of that word, he says, and no drinking will be permitted. At the present rate work is progressing he hopes to have his prospective North Shore paradise ready for the fox = trotters and the golf swatters some time next April.
