>isIand Park Dancing Opened for the
Season by Tinker's Famous Singing
Dance Orchestra.
On Tuesday evening, Juno %, Frank
Tinker and company, comprising in all
five talented artists will inaugurate
the summer season of dancing at ISL
and Park. Mr.. Tinker's famous or
,chestra has been secured for the en-
tire summer and commencing the eve
nina of the 23d will fill daily engage
,ments upon dates that later will be
announced. Mr.. and Mrs. Tinker to-
gether with other members Of their
company are reputed to be foremost
among the opponents of dance de-
handing music. And III addition their
catchy song numbers and unusual, I'M
surpassed musical vocabulary will
make for Island Park dancing as has
never been made before. Indeed, with
the advent of Tinkers Orchestra,
dancing at Island Park will be en-
= HANGED by features valued at over
$4,000 in novelties.
. Now that, from a reluctant, linger-
ing approach, summer-grand glad
some summer-haS rushed upon us,
= bringing foremost among its delight
full chain of open air events, the an
nual opening of Island Park-why, to
4. those who have awaited impatiently
for this; to those to whom each sue
cessive- appearance Of sunny June re-
= calls through memory the last-the
simple mention that Island Park will
v'Island Park on the 23rd evening
= x this month is enough. Yet, for all
the joyous throng eagerly awaiting
this announcement, even for those IA
mliar with Island Park in the past,
there is this season a surprise for all
as pleasantly in keeping with each
bonny evening as the cool fragrance
of the pine itself.
To you, music-loving maiden; to
you dance enchanted youth, just peep
at the significance of this, then judge
f. for yourself Beginning with the open
ing, Tuesday evening. June %, and
continuing throughout the remainder
= of the. summer, Tinker's Famous
Singing Orchestra, comprising five ac-
complished extraordinarily from
A., Boston, but now heralding from
two-years celebrated tour upon the
road, will furnish-just think of it
music interspersed with high class en-
tertainrnent for dancing at Island
Park of evenings from P. NJ. until
IL o'clock!
With the appearance of himself and
orchestra, Frank Tinker will not only
put dancing, but the quiet. refreshing
musical enjoyment of evenings passed
at Island Park upon a basis never be-
fore approached. What with Xylo-
phone quartet: vocal and brass quar-
tet; electric saucer bells; organ chime
trio, etc, do you think that Island
Park ever saw the like before!
Yet In addition, Mr.. and Mrs. Tink-
er. professional stage and ball room
dancers, will give exhibition dances
featuring the American One-step,
Tango, Hesitation Waltz and Boston
Waltz. Although bringing the latest in
dancing from New York, Mr.. and Mrs.
Tinker are, above everything else, tall
ented artists, possessive of inventive
originality and inherent love Of music.
Thus many steps quite their own
should be introduced at Island Park
as the season advances.

ira will be at Island Park! Remem-
her. the opening is the 23rd of this
month Remember. that on the Fourth
of July a dance suitable to the occa-
sion. afternoon and evening. will be

earnest desire to please that has fos-
tered this coming store of amusement

summers evening. music, and the
park Admission 25 cents.
