 It is said that the number of wom- en swimmers Is constantly increasing at East Lake, many of whom are learning to swim and dive under the instruction of Captain Seymour, the head of the bathing beach staff
 East Lake park contains other amusement facilities and the park is equipped to take care of large or small picnic parties4 For the amuse- equipped playground containing slides, swings and sand piles, for the older children and grown-ups there
 are numerous riding devices and boating, swimming and fishing to en- joy

 But as Texas Henderson. the grow ing young woman, she soon saw in Bob Wagner more than a desire for were friendship. He aroused in her those finer womanly qualities and instincts. For the first time in her life she desired to wear more than a pair of cowboy traps. Bob Wagner had frowned at her physical prowess and so she determined to show the woman in her. Texas Guinan in this role has had~the opportunity to show the more subtle and intricate emo- tiona1 acting of which she is capa- ble.
 Playing this dual personality of Texas Henderson has given to the public 8 new and refreshing role. One in which she not only gives the public the thrill and punch of dar- ing cowgirl, but also character filled with the pathos, humor and sympathy of mother, girl and a woman.
 The Stampede" is from the pen of Eugenie Kremer. She has made Il her special duty to visit and confer with Miss Guinan and after learning more of the finer qualities of the woman. the story of "The Stampede" was chosen.
 The added features will be Fatty Arbuckle and the latest Pathe News.
