James Thompson. juveniles. Frank Callahan. heavies, Lester Leyburn, comedian Lewis Summer, utility.
 Illustrated songs, up-tO-date moving pictures and singing and dancing specialties will be given during the progress of the plays
 The opening bill is '-The World
 Those who have witnessed this play in other cities will be pleased to see it again and will find it a very appro- priate opening bill. as it serves admir- ably to introduce MT Beggs' talent as leading man.
 The past two seasons East Lake Park has come to the front as very 1 popular and pleasant place of amuse- ment The companies and plays have been such as to cause Phoenicians 10 1 'sit up and take notice" MT Berger | has given a large guarantee for such ! high grade talent and while a large ! attendance is necessary to make the ! venture at all profitable. If the stand- I ard were permitted to sink to depth ! of mediocrity as it has in past seasons. | there would be no attendance at all II When one realizes the expense Ot i bringing ten or twelve people from r Chicago to Phoenix, with additional .i expense for meals. excess baggage and many other incidentaI expenses. it will easily be seen that a great deal Of money has been expended before the hali mas started to roll
 | The theatre has again been carefully gone over and all necessary repairs made for the safety and convenience nf the patrons. The floor is being put in first class condition for the dancing nights. which will be Tuesday and Sat
 urday. During previous seasons. ths dancing floor which is large enough 10 accommodate any ordinary crowd. has been Overcrowded by young men who came out in launches" of ten or
 twelve. They never escort a lady to
 or from the park, and never buy a ticket for the performance. and have
 caused much annoyance to the regu-
 lar patrons who wish to remain for the dance. especially on excursion nights
 The park management has tried sever
 al methods to prevent this, but this
 season one will be adopted which will
 undoubtedly prevent any recurrence os
 this nuisance.
 Excursions will be run from Tempe
 and Mesa and the street car service fin
 this city will be as entirely satisfac-
 tory as it was last season. The curtain will rise promptly at s o'clock, and every one who attends the perform ance will be at home and in bed by

 Mfr. Sanichas again has charge of
 the refreshment booth and supremus
 ice cream. sherbets and candies will ! be served in the careful manner waich
 added so much to the popularity oI , East Lake Park.
 It is we'll known fact that Phoenix
 is the only place in Arizona which ! supports a stock company and il Is an equally we'll kr.1wn fact that the
 coolness and quality of amusement al
 East Lake Park are the two things
 which make life bearable during ths
 summer months.
