MONTE CARLO IS
IN GOOD SHAPE
FOR BIG SEASON
MONTE CARLO, Dec. 1. (/P)—Mon.
tie Carlo has finished its summer
house-cleaning and brighter, gay
er than ever is ready to receive the
thousands of visitors during the
coming season.
Important alterations have been
made in the casino, the most strik
ing of which being t]ie enlarge
ment of the popular “roulette”
rooms at the expense of the ex
clusive “baccarat” saloons. The new
management—which took charge over
a year ago—has realized that more
money flowed into the coffers of the
casino from the tables where a five
franc bet may be made than from
the fashionable inner rooms, where
1000 franc -wager is looked upon
with some disdain by the blase
croupiers.
Out of the gross receipts of 110,
500,000 francs taken in at Monte
Carlo during the last year, more
than 70,000,000 came from the cheap
roulette tables.
Roulette is the main reason that
attracts visitors to Monte Carlo.
The Casino at Cannes, under the
management of Eugene Cornuche,
the “boss” of Deauville, has been
competition for Monte Carlo since
the war. The Cannes casino’s re
ceipts reached a little over 60,000,
1000 francs last year, but Cornuche
has given up hope of ever catching
up with Monte Carlo.
“Players get tired of baccarat
and boule,” Cornuche said. “They
wTill spend two or three hundred
francs to run over to Monte Carlo
a chance at the ‘roulette’.”
Casinos in France are not per
mitted to operate roulette wheels
and like Cornuche, the proprietors
of the gambling plants at Nice,
Menton and other Riviera resorts
feel that no real competition can
be made to Monte Carlo, as long
as the little principality enjoys the
exclusiveness of the roulette privi
leges.
The Monte Carlo expenses in the
last fiscal year amounted to less
than 50,000,000, leaving a net pro
fit of 63,876,000 francs, two thirds
of which only were paid out in divi
dends to the shareholders. They re
ceived 600 francs as a dividend for
a 500 franc share, nominal value.
The balance of the money was
expended in the construction of a
new building for the installation of
the Sporting club; a new cinema
house and theater and the erection
of a summer casino at Larvotto.
Ten new tennis courts have also
been set out, six at the Festa Ten- {
nis club and four at the Condamine. |
