GRANDsTAND NIGHT sHOW.--Each
evening the ''War of Nations" a gigantic
fireworks spectacle portraying the destruc-
ton, by gun fire and airship attack, of be-
seiged city in the European war zone, will
be produced. Over 800 persons will take
polo and other high class entertainment fea-
lures. In thrilling effects nothing was ever
attempted in pyrotechnics that compares
with it. It is presented on a mammoth stage
$50 feet wide. The drama depicts the de-
struction of town in the western fighting
area of Europe before the attack of an en-
veloping army. The coming of the enemy
is heralded by an aeroplane that scouts up
over the horizon. An aeroplane gun shells
later, flock of aeroplanes and dirigibles
swarms into view and opens fire of bombs
upon the town. The long columns Of the
enemy at the same time rush to the assault.
There is savage fighting in front of the
trenches. Great cann0ns roar. Machine
guns play streams of fire upon the hostile
ranks Shells burst incessantly. The town
catches fire. The Gothic cathedral falls in
ruins. Public edifices and homes go up In
flames. Soon the once prosperous town is
tumbled mass of wreckage in blackened
waste. In an interlude before the battle, a
dozen acts of high-class vaudeville are inter- .
polated. After the fighting, two beautiful
tableaux are staged. One typifies ''The HOr-
rors of War;; the other, ''The Blessings of
Peace" The performance closes with an
exhibition of dazzling fireworks.
