Chicago's Famous Water Park Fur

No more wonderful pleasure resort
exists than Chicago's famous water
park, "The Chutes.''
Its fame is international. This sea-

set the big city agog. One is "Elter, 4"
the Beautiful Mystery Of the Lake,
and the other King Humboldt g Royal
Italian Band, led by Maestro francesca
Pozzi. The "Banda Italiana Abruzzi''
is an organization of forty skilled mu-
sicians, which created a furore in Eu-
rope. 1t is touring the world and will
delight the Chutes' patrons this summer.
"Elter,' who is a beautiful young
woman, energies from the depths of the
lake and disappears beneath it's waves

feat amazes and mystifes.
shooting the Chutes" over the
biggest artificial cascades in the world
is the favorite pastime of Chicago.
Shouting and laughing throngs descend
the glistening cascades with the speed
of the wind until their gay gondolas
splash in the lake and glide swiftly
forward on foam-crested waves to a
placid harbor.
