RARE ENTERTAINMENT
AT ELECTRIC PARK
Good Vaudeville on the Pier Forms
Fine Amusement These Hot
Summer Niuhts

This hot weather causes people to
remember Electric park and particu-
larry the pier pavilion with It's cool
breezes, fine view OF the river and
the delightful vaudeville shows that
are now being given every afternoon
and evening. Ii is just the weather
for this light form OF entertainment
and the show itself, like the surround.
ings, is just as refreshing as long.
cool mint julip.
The bright particular star OF the
past week has been La Carmontella,
the dancing girl. who does not seem
to have u bone In her body. She has
been retained for another week.
La Carmontella may be called a
contortionist or she may be called
simply dancing girl but sure 1t Is
that her performances are very diff
ferent from that OF either the ordin-
airy dancing girl or the ordinary fe-
male contortionist. La Carmontella
is graceful, dainty and beautiful and
her gyrations are novel and pleasing.
1t is promised that the program
will be great one throughout. In
addition to La Carmontella there will
be Oneida, the empress OF mystery,
as she is called. who performs aston
ishing illusions; the Four Bragdons.
who are not only entertaining coined
ians but sing and dance also; Rogers
and Evans. singing comedians. and
Develde and Zelda. who will add an.
other novelty number. Miss Effie Co.'S
tello stiles has made such an emphatic
hit singing new songs each week that
she has been engaged for a third week.

LEAVES HOME
FOR ADVENTURE
BOY, HUNGRY AND IN TATTERs,
SAYS HE RAN AWAY FROM
LONDON, ONT.

A boy giving his name as Fred
caves, IA years old, barefooted and
with his clothes In tatters. called at
the home OF John Fredericks, No. 500
Woodward-ave.. Sunday night, and
begged for something to eat. saying
that he had just walked from Capac,
distance OF 80 miles. He told q
pitiful story Of having been thrown
on the world through the death Of
both parents, and so excited the sym
pathy OF Mr.. Fredericks that the lat
ter. after feeding the boy, escorted
him to the Garfield station that he
might have some place TO stay over
night.
Monday morning the boy was turn
ed over to Lieut.. Berrault, Of the tru-
ant Office, who thought he recognized
in the boy the original OF a photo
graph he had received from the au-
thorities OF Minneapolis, accompany
ing a request that he locate Fred Car
penter. missing from home since last
March. When shown the picture. the
lad admitted that 1t was his photo
graph and that his name was Car
penter. the truant officers say, but
later he gigged back to his story and
insisted that his right name is Char
ley Morden, and that his home Is In
London. Ont. He ran away several
weeks ago, he said, after a boy friend
had returned fro ma long tramp with
a wonderful story Of his experience.
He Is afraid to go back now for fear
OF whipping. he said.
The boy said he had been working
for an uncle in Capac. until recently,
when he decided to come to Detroit.
Lieut. Breault Is investigating the
lads story and II 1t is found that his
home Is really In London. he will
probably be returned to his parents.

an uncomplimentary remark about the

in Burns expansive countenance. Tay-

crowd Of indignant passengers, who
were fast pushing him toward the rail-
