The show itself carries out a tradition of evening entertainment and dancing I dating back to 1928. The current Boardwalk Revue is now in its 13th season I under the direction of Joanne Reagan, with the cooperation of the city. MS.

m 1961 under the direction of Jerry I-ove Barber The *reat March storm of 1962 washed away Convention Hall and the Friday night Kiddie Shows were discontinued Evening entertainment with dancing goes back to 1998 under the direction of Walter Griffins. Attempts, starting in that year, to charge admission (first a quarter, lat#r a nickel) were turned down by the city and the city commission. There is still no charge for the review and dances. THE ORIGINAL Kiddie Show consisted of a halfhour review of talented youngsters, followed by dancing for the adults. "Ballin' the Jack,", the "Mexican Hat Dance", and the "Bunny Hop" were among the numbers performed Dy the youngsters.

The Clarence Furhmann Orchestra accompanied the review and provided music for .dancing. Madeline and Fred England followed Griffins as they took over direction of the reviews for almost 10 years. The Kiddie Show continued to be a weekly summer highlight under the direction of Jerry Love Barber for approximately 20 years. JERRY BARBER and Madeline England are the daughters of the late Halsey Love, a veteran of show business. They are also sisters of the late Ludy Love, a composer and musician. Ms. Reagan performed with Mrs. Barber in the 50s and into the 60s. Now her daughter lists 10 years of Boardwalk Revue performances and her son lists one year. Mrs. Bettie Sheehan, formerly Dottie Elwell, danced for over 10 years \ with Mrs. Barber's "kiddie i Shows". Her daughter has had five years with the Boardwalk Revue.
