ing approach. summer-grand glad
some summer-has rushed upon US,
bringing foremost among it's delight
full chain of open air events, the an
nual opening of Island Park-why, to
those who have awaited impatiently
for this; to those to whom each sue
cessive appearance of sunny June re-
calls through memory the 1ast-the
simple mention that Island Park will
be Island Park on the 23rd evening

Park ever saw the like before
Yet in addition. Mr. and Mrs. Tink-
err. professional stage and ball room
dancers, will give exhibition dances
featuring the American one-step,
Tango, Hesitation Waltz and Boston

originality and inherent love of music

should be introduced at Island Park
as the season advances.
