ing three acts and five scenes One of
the most effective of these is the Ions
Island farm setting. in which poultry.
cows ana horses are used just as
though the whole thing was pastoral

Another scene which makes hit Is
that of the ';Automat" restaurant IN
New York, which furnishes another op-
portunity for some OF the catchy songs
and dances which made The Hen

Glen Echo Remains
Mecca Of Merrymakers

To judge from the crowds at Glen
Echo Park yesterday afternoon and
last night, one might have thought
that 1t was in midsummer, instead of
the last week Of the season for this
resort. Four free concerts were given
during the day for the benefit of the
big holiday crowds, n ad1iltion to the
free vaudeville GILL, which viii be con-
tinued through the week until the clos
ing Saturday.
The headline attraction OF the vaude-
willie program, the Death Defytng
Regnells," held two big audiences spell
bound by a jump from the platform
sixty five feet In the air to the tank,
in which the water was four feet deep.
The Regnells are Norwegian, and, 1t is
said, look upon the sixty y-nve-foot ele-
walton as a mere trifie after the steep
fjords of their native land. At any
rate. their fire dive is q sensation well
worth seeing.
Free moving pictures is another at
traction which spleases the crowds. and
these. with the fire-diving Regnells,
and the other vaudeville attractions,
