Band Concerts Today
At Glen Echo Park

Concerts this afternoon and tonight
by the Soldiers Home Band, under the
direction of John S. NJ. Zimmerman,
will be the special attraction for Sun
day visitors to Glen Echo Park. An In
teresting program. varied enough to
suit the tastes Of all. has been ar
ranged.
Free movies" with new subjects
every night, will be shown each even
ing, and in the dancing pavilion the
shadow and moonlight dances. which
proved so popular last summer at the
park, where they originated, will be in
terspersed in the program. No objec-
ton is raised to the modified turkey
trotting and others of its ilk. and the
ban is placed against the more ex-
treme dances only. which some of the
more daring affect.
Starting next Thursday, each week
there will be a fireworks display at the
park, which will be included in the
free admission. The first spectacle will
be very similar to the one on July
Fourth, which included many novelties.
Saturday will be Souvenir Day" for
the kiddies. and each youngster who
visits the park will carry home a little
bucket and shovel as reminder of the
fun in the big sand pile.
With its cool breeZes and wealth of
shade, the park is one of the coolest
places near Washington, and Is an
ideal spot for an all day outing or for
an evenings enjoyment. The delightful
car ride is not the least pleasant part
of a trip to the resort.
