Surely the car buying boom along the shore must Lave overjoyed Detroit and foreign producers. Specialty Motors now sells 110 to 120 BMW's a year in this area, at prices around $40,000. County Roost boniface Bobby Dougherty is a local BMW owner. More than half the cars at Autoha us Atlantic Cqrp. are pre-sold — even though their name is MercedesBenz and the most expensive is over $50,000. Realtor Tcm Haynes, of Oscar’s Videotheque and Harry "Jeep” Hamilton of the Bolero Motel are among local Mercedes owners. Rumor hath Burke Motors as the largest per capita Cadillac agency in the U.S.A., still not topped by Atlantic City agencies. Ken Goicb, youthful Broadwalk businessman on Manners Landing, leads the local Porsche club. These sleek German cars range from $22,000 to $48,000. But in summer’s traffic jams, Goich uses a well rusted bicycle to navigate between his Broadwalk concessions. Wildwood has also seen its share of Rolls Royces. My ex-boss on Shout Entertain Guide, Dennis Grant, drove a Rolls to make his ad calls. At other times, he liked to ride a motorcycle. Once when he made an ad call to ex-Pennsy State Sen. Bob Gerhart at Diamond Beach while astride his humble cycle, Gerhart though Shout might have come upon hard times. Used Rolls are termed preused. The Crest’s Crown Motel owner acquired Eagles owner Leonard Tose’s Rolls Royce, so apparently there will always be a sprinkling of Rolls Royces around the island. They are so quiet that even their clocks do not hum! Perhaps the grandest of the local land cruisers is one owned by Carl Botzenhardt, one of the Diamond Beach developers. His custommade car has a TV, bar and telephone. Botzenhardt formerly.owned the Penalty Box, among other local holdings. The past season was spectacular enough financially that many local businessmen not only acquired new cars, but new yachts as well.

Mews Notes from The Wildwoods Charies V. Mathis

A Rine Barrens cranberry bog owner has bought an old steam roller. He says he is going to try raising cranberry sauce! • • • \ SINCE VAUDEVILLE days, the Wildwoods have been a favorite stopping place for show folks. George Gershwin used to play piano weekends at the Orange Grove, forerunner of the Surf Club. Olson and Johnson of “Hellazapoppin" fame wheeled a piano up and down the Boardwalk serenading the summer night throngs. But this season, Broadway will have more seaside connections .than in any season within memory. Kristi Coombs, of North Cape May, will appear as Norma Jean, the childhood name of Marilyn Monroe, featured in ‘‘Marilyn: An American Fable,” in the Minskoff Theater. The musical has 32 songs based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Wildwood Crest’s Bruce Davison will star with Jessica Tandy and Amanda Plummer in a new production of Tennessee Williams’ classic drama “The Glass Menagerie” at the O’Neill Theatre. Nearby at the Royale Theatre, Carroll O’Connor will star in "Brothers.” O’Connor has purchased many scripts from the. Crest’s Davison, who is also an adept writer as well as actor. Davison, who also starred in “Elephan Man” on

Broadway, was profiled by your scribe in the "New York Timet." A musical based on the comic strip titled “Doonesbury” at the Biltroore Theatre will star Richard Burton’s daughter, Kate, who spent much of the summer onstage in the Berkshires with Wildwood Catholic High grad and Norttf Wildowod motel owner Jack Hallet. And at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, Anthony Newley portrays the adult Charlie Chaplin in “Chaplin,” a musical based on one of Hollywood's greatest clowns. Newley co-starred with North Wildwood’s Lori Cesar (Mrs. Grover Bradshaw) for eight months on Broadway. It is estimated that Broadway lures some four million tourists to New York; foreign visitors account few 10 percent of Broadway audiences, and

in the summer visitors outnumber locals in the audiences. FEW WILL dispute that commercial sea clammers are a hardy breed. Tall tale tellers would have us believe that one Hnmmpr is so tough he sleeps between sandpaper sheets and gets a manicure with a blow torch. A clammer who lives near Cold Spring Harbor is a very loud snorer. In fact, he snores so loud that the boats going through the inlet start answering him!

South Dennis’ Jim Seibert, a decoy carver at Millville’s Wheaton Village, played an important part in the Wetlands Institute “Wings ‘N Water” Festival. Seibert tells of one of the wonders of nature a careful inspector of the environment learns. One variety of marsh grass has a fail-safe method of germinating, Seibert said. If the grass doesn’t freeze to release one set of seeds, a wash in salt water will release another set, he said. He describes the Delaware Bay marshes as an environmental heaven.
