evening the United States Soldiers Home
Military Band, under the dictatorship of
Conductor John S. NJ Zimmerman, will
appear in the fifth of the special Sunday
popular concerts. AS Fourth of July

door summer amusement resorts. the
management of Glen Echo is busily at
work on plans to make next Tuesday the

known, and, with the endeavor to estab-
lish new attendance records. there has
been arranged a particularly elaborate
and attractive schedule OF events. Nat

The chief number will be a representa-
ton in fire Of Niagara Falls, showing a
flight and suggested by Lincoln Beach
ey's sensational performance OF the
other day. Inasmuch as the Glen Echo
fireworks display on Tuesday will be a
of the similar exhibition at
the famous steel pier in Atlantic City,

that this event will be the most spec

bunting, and other decorations. and, aside
from the many special features con-
tracted for, the throngs who spend their
holiday at the pretty playground over
looking the Potomac will find plenty Of
provided by the half hundred
attractions that are making the resort the
mecca nightly of a large majority of
local pleasure seekers.

present their latest version of the sue

The sketch is noted for its clever dia-

Preliminary to the action Of the play,
which is fast and furious. and set in
crisp sparkling dialogue, Richard induces
Ebenezer to accompany him to a prize
fight-in order. that he may make a
scientific study of the muscular activi-
ties OF the contending giants. In the
midst of the fight the place is raided
by the police, and the two only make
their escape accompanied by and with
the assistance of a stranger, who turns
out to be Jones. They seek shelter in
the GoodIy home, where II is impossible
for the true story to come out, and so
Jones, in a moment of inspiration. is in
troduced as Ebenezer's long-absent
brother, the Bishop of Ballarat.
OF course the Bishop has to show up
at an inopportune time. He is mistaken
by the policeman for the man who es-
capped from him at the prize fight, is ar
rested, and marched of to the station
house. 1t would be impossible to follow
the ensuing entanglements in the space
available for this notice. but 1t may be
said in passing that the ingenuity evil
denced by Mr.. Broadhurst in mixing his
characters up is only exceeded by that
required to get them untangled without
interrupting the interest for a moment.
