Glen Echo Attractions.

The management of Glen Echo is to be con-
graduated on its enterprise in providing a new
source Of amusement for the pleasure seekers of
Washington. Local patrons have had summer
opera of more or less excellence, summer stock
companies, and the like, but so far have never
had a minstrel troupe TO entertain in the sum
mer time. Simmons Slocum's Minstrels are
the attractions dividing interest with the other
features AZ Glen Echo this week. The organiza-
ton is thoroughly high class one made up Of
a of clever speciality artists, and the enter
tanment it provides is a thoroughly good one
from beginning to end Lew Simmons is
known as of the pioneers OF minis
trelsy and leader and interlocutor.
Another feature not to be overlooked in
mentioning Glen Echo's attractions is the open
air concerts given the lawn by Bandmas:er
Haley. They begin at 7:15 every evening and
continue till the performance begins in the amphi-
theatre. Many musical novelties are to figure in
the programme given each evening, among them
a patriotic piece that viii have a pyroteehnic
display at its ending Today the concert will be
given at 4 and another at $50. The programme
to be given is an especially selected one and will
be well worth hearing. There many other
