Glen Echo.

Ever striving to please their patrons, the
managers Of Glen Echo Park have intro
duced number of novelties which, 1t Is
thought, are calculated to more than ever
make its popularity pronounced. Amuse-
ment features are being constantly added,
until its picturesque, broad area has become
a symposium of the most up-to-date and
approved contraptions that builders of
amusement devices have to offer. Man
ayers L. D. and Walter p. Shaw have done
some designing their own account both

Glen Echo is thought to be noted as one
of the most naturally beautiful parks in this
part of the country, and since assuming
control the Messrs. Shaw have laid 1t out
on new lines. Beautiful walks and lanes
have been constructed. the latest amuse-
ment devices installed. and the whole en-
bellished with a wonderful electrical dis

effect about 10000 electric lights are used,
including a large number Of great CANDLE

NEW PLAY FOR THE COLUMBIA
Fernando Eliscu to Open Season as
Star in Yiddish PLAY.

Fernando Eiscu Will open her season in
Ruth at the Columbia Theater In this city
September and will be seen on Broadway
in the early fall. This play. the second one
to be translated from the Yiddish to the
English. Is z. Iibin's masterpiece, and the
adaptation was made by Prof. Hervey of
Columbia University. Miss Eiscu will be
supported by Edwin Arden and a very
strong cast. including such well-known
names as Jeffrys Lewis, Alice Butler and
William Robert DAILY. !
The first play adapted from Yiddish to
English was THE Kreutzer Sonata" Prof
Hervey was assisted in the work of
adapting Ruth by Nine. Eliscu, who Is a
Yiddish scholar and is herself preparing a
Yiddish grammar. Strange as 1t may ap-
pear there is no such thing as a grammar
of the Yiddish language. although it is the
speaking language of more than a million
people. A number OF different ones have
essayed such work. but no one has ever
completed the task. and none except those
who are familiar with the Yiddtsh and its
admixture of nearly every tongue of CONT
mental Europe can appreciate the difficulties
of this task.
Ruth has been adapted In two different
languages: first from the Yiddish to the
Russian for the purpose of presenting the
play at ST. Petersburg for one night by spe-
cfal command. and the manuscript Of the
Russian translation was destroyed as soon
as eacn actor was I'D IN the part, and IL is
believed this is the only case on record
where play was adapted for the purpose
of giving only one performance. The only
city outside of New York that has seen
Ruth" Is Boston and the play was given
there for one night.
Miss Eliscu succeeded Nine. Kalich as
leading woman at the Kalich Theater. and
during the past season played in Ruth
for a period of sixteen weeks, the long run
attracting much attention to the versatility
and talent Of Miss Eliscu. and 1t was then
prophesied that the future would lead to
even greater triumphs Ruth tells a most
dramatic story. dealing with wife who has
a past. and her husband is made cogntzant
of that fact through the efforts of his de-
signing sister.

Luna Park.

Princess Harriette, unquestionably the
smallest woman in the world, will receive
and entertain upon the hippodrome stage.
Princess Harriette is remarkable because
of her miniature stature. being perfectly
formed and possessing all the symmetrical
lines of a Venus. The princess is but eight
cen years of age: is twenty-one inches IN
| height and weighs but nine pounds and is
a native Of the Philippine Islands AS q
linguist she has several languages to her
credit and can converse intelligently on al
most any subject.
That wealth Of melody that made Victor
Herbert popular; that spirited tempo which
| brought Sousa into public notice, and that
conception of detail which made Damrosch
famous. are trinity of attachments pos
sessed by Bandmaster Bovelie and have
| largely to do with his enviable popularity
at Luna Park. His programs never lack
for want of novelty and newness, and the
treatment each selection gets at the hands
of his competent solo musicians puts the
band in the foremost rank of m,isicdom.
