Glen Echo Park.

Four concerts. two this afternoon and
two this evening by the Soldiers Home
Military Band under the direction of
John S. NJ. Zimmerman, will be the big
free feature of the first Sunday Of Glen
Echo Parks summer season of 1915.
Starting with the opening yesterday all
of the amusement devices that last
operation every day and the resort once
again is making a bid for a large share
of patronage by Washington's amuse-
ment seekers.
This season. as has always been the
rule. there is no charge made for ad-
mission and in addition there are daily
features included in the '.no-charge''
list. Every evening the open-air movies
will be shown. arrangements having
been made with the General Film Com
pany and on Mondays and Thursday in
addition the famous Hearst-Selig week
ly will be included.
With Charles o. Mills orchestra fur
nishing the music and Howard Leslie
Holt as floor director the big dance pa
vilion is once again the mecca for the
dancers who last season showed their
appreciation Of the excellent floor and
good music by filling it almost to ca
pacity every evening.
One innovation that promises to be
very popular Is the skee-ball game
where competition for the prizes for high
scores offered by the management has
already begun.
The Midway also bids fair to draw
more than its share OF patronage with
its added attractions. the new ride being
a great drawing card for the Riddles and
the older ones as well. The park will be
run on the same high plane as in the
past and all justifable complaints will
be given prompt consideration at the Of
fee of the manager.

PoIi.s-"PoIIy of the Circus"

Margaret Mayo's charming comedy ro-
nance of the sawdust ring will be the
offering of the Poll players this week.
1t is Polly of the Circus, which had
its first performance on any stage in
this city several years ago. 1t scored an
immediate success and then was taken
to New York. where it ran for a year at
the Liberty Theater firmly establishing
Mabel Taliaferro as star and a Broad
way favorite. The succeeding season it
also established Edith Taliaferro as a
star.
The play tells the charming love story
of Polly, a little circus rider. who is
thrown from her horse and seriously in
iured while the tent show is appearing
in a small Western town. The girl is
taken to the home of the minister of the
village. where il is discovered that she
is so badly hurt she cannot be taken with
the circus which is forced to move on
that night. She remains at the minister's
house for many weeks while recovering
her strength and in the meantime she
falls in love with the young clergyman
and he with her.
But this romance is not allowed to
progress uninterruptedly for the parish
toner's shocked at the idea of their
preacher having anything whatsoever to
do with circus creature and eventu-
ally they inform him that he must get
torate. He is spared the necessity of
making the choice for Polly hears of the
ultimatum and runs away, rejoining the
circus. The minister. however. is loyal
and he follows the girl to the circus and
there. under the shadow of the big tent,
there is a happy elimination of the ro-
nance.
Polly of the Circus will be the most
laborate production the Poll players havt
made this spring. for there is a real cir
Gus presented on the stage during one
act of the comedy. S. T. Poll has secured
a number of clever arenc acts for this
feature of the entertainment so that this
weeks entertainment at the Avenue
playhouse will combine both circus and
delightful comedy drama.
The scenic effects will be unusually
picturesque. the last act tableau being
particularly effective. showing the circus
caravan making its way over the hills at
midnight. with myriad lights glimmering
and the still air echoing to the calls Of
the teamsters and the crack Of their
whips.

FINAL PLANS FOR
BIG FASHION WEEK
COMMITTEES Held Enthusiastic Meeting
at Chamber of Commerce
Last Night.

Final arrangements for Tulsas big
Fashion Week, TO be held during the
week of October 70, were made last
evening at a meeting Of the commit
teemen at the Chamber Of Commerce.
An advertising campaign for two
big booster editions of both local
newspapers, to be issued just before
the event, will be wound up this
morning. It is the prediction Of the
merchants that the show windows or
Tulsa will be the most attractive to be
found in the country when the trim
mors have them prepared for the big
show.
Substantial cash prizes offered by
the Retail Merchants association has
created no little rivalry among tho
trimmers and some new ideas ana
many pleasing novelties are in store
for the crowds which will throng the
streets during the week.
The committee in charge decided
not to persent a loving cup as first
arranged, believing that the cash
prizes would be ample incentive to
the decorators in their efforts to have
the best displays.
Everything is ready for the big
week.
