Children's Playground.

The campaign for the Children's
Playground opens next week with
a drive for this work. The CONNER
cial has been requested to state that
some of the principals in the move
ment have not been able to be out,
but will be ready next week.
AS we understand it. the play
grounds are to be located in the rail-
road park on Church street in the
heart of the city.
This work has been inaugurated
by the public spirited citizens for the
welfare of the children of Union City.
1t is not something new, but move
ment which has been adopted in all
the larger cities for the benefit of the
children. In the big cities there are
Fairgrounds in all the various resi-
dence sections. In the smaller cities
and towns there are public grounds
used for this purpose. In Union City
the park has been selected because
it is centrally located.
The Commercial regrets to say that
it is not familiar with the uses and
benefits of such Fairgrounds. 1t is
very easy, however, to venture an
opinion that where the children are
gathered and chapercned for outdoor
play and wholesome exercise there
;xytr, ahn ha
suits.
Swings and chutes and wading
POOLS and other arrangements are to
be made for the grounds. These
things will cost a little money, but
we presume this will be small work
for the committee, at least the sub
scription part of it. Our people are
noted for their liberality towards ev-
cry good work and they will be ready
as usual to respond.
1t will be worth a great deal to
improve our park, which is one OF the
most inviting rest places in the city.
New seats and other improvements
will add materially to the appearance
of the grounds end to the comfort of
those who daily visit them, especially
strangers who are here for a few
minutes or more waiting to change
cars
The Fairgrounds and park i'm
provements will be worth great
deal to Union City.

The Reynolds.

Manager Cox presented the pa
irons of Reynolds Theatre last Mon
day and Tuesday nights with a most
excellent program of pictures and
musical entertainment. M o v
nights screen offering was an ex-
ceptionally fine one. ALI the arts of
the aviatrix, the diver and the mo-
torist were woven into an old Scotch
romance, coming down out of the
past and appearing in all. the rapid
movements of modern life. The play,
the picture, the story and the art OF
the player and playwright were all
interlaced in wonderful photoplay.
The Hawaiiens, troupe OF ma
tive musicians, also entertained the
audience for an hour or more with
Hawaiian songs and music and an
infinite variety of popular and clas-
sic selections from many of the best
known authors, ranging down to the
jazz and rag, all equally novel and
interesting.
Steel guitars and ukuleles were
used and the Hawaiians know how
~ handle them to get the most
charming results.
