After Prohibition (about 1937), the Cedarshore's Marine Grill and adjacent Ship's Bar replaced some of the bathhouses.  The entire north side of the Grill featured murals of ship bulkheads with lighted portholes behind which was a passageway flanked by ship's rails (with life rings) and a realistic mural of the sea, all hand-painted by G. Elliot Morrison, owner and proprietor.  Here, Morrison is shown talking to Lee Kuhn, whose orchestra played nightly; Paul McGrane and Ray Barr are warming up at the two baby grands. In season, the orchestra resided in the "Musician's Cottage", the second cottage directly north of the hotel on the back of the Cedarshore property; it was adjacent to, and by tunnel connected to, the underground 35-car garage.
