Description
One of the outstanding attractions of the pier is the "Fun House," where, according to General Manager R. R. "Ted" Newcomb, "every celebrity of the world has visited." It was the scene of a party staged in 1936 by Carole Lombard, to which she invited 400 movie stars to enjoy its slides, rides, air-spouting gadgets and other asserted forms of tom-foolery. Photo dated: January 12, 1946.
