GLEN ECHO

Sunday patrons OF Glen Echo park
will have an opportunity this after
noon and tonight to hear the
request program arranged for the
series of band concerts last suVay
but postponed on account of inclerient
weather. This season the manage
ment of the park is giving more at
tention than ever before to the dancing
contingent OF its patronage and as 4
result the big pavilion is 4 ranking IA:
vorite among the amusements of the
resort. The best floor and the best
music about Washington is the claim
made fo- the park pavilion by the loyal
cnes who are in ATTENDANCE almost
every night.
With its many free features, the most
important of which are the new films
shown nightly in the open-air, and its
numerous amusement devices, Glen

since the piece received its premier at
the Columbia In February, 1872 Mr..
Van Buren and Miss Bernard will find
the parts of Neil Sumner and his ir-
resistible young daughter. Cynthia,
much to their liking. Stage Director
Arthur Ritchie has provided as n back
ground for the story a series of superb
stage settings. The big role of the
play, which Mr.. Van Buren, will essay,
is a genial. nonchalant, easy-going
man of the world, who disguises his
genuine emotions under the mask of
banterinE Indifference. But beneath
the careless outward demeanor of the
man there is an iron will controlled by
q tender heart, and this fact is made
manifest very, soon in the unfolding
OF the play.
