Flame War: 1905
New York circa 1905. "Fighting the Flames, Dreamland, Coney Island." The exterior of this thrilling attraction. 8x10 glass negative. View full size.
The Politics of Amusement
Fascinating story of how this place came to be. Why give people free access to the beach when we can charge them to see an orangutan?
'Mowgli' the Missing Link?
"Giant orang-utan, Wildman of the Woods." How curious. Cashing in on the Kipling craze, I guess.
Mowgli wasn't listed in the opening-day lineup, described below in a May 8 1904 ad from The Sun. Sounds like it was quite a spectacle: "Fall of Pompeii", "Submarine Boat", "Midget City, 300 Lilliputians", "Peter F. Dailey, A Paris Novelty" -- sounds rather ooh-la-la -- and of course "4,000 People Fighting the Flames."
