Weekend Patronage
He1Du at Glen Echo

The passing Of torrid tempera-
lures added to the fun of the
thousands who thronged Glen
Echo Park over the week end.
Saturday afternoon and night,
as well as Sunday and Sunday
evening saw the popular free
admission resort full of merry
makers.
The usual all day picnic par
ties were much in evidence, and
the more than fifty amusement
devices roared the song of fun
until closing time Sunday eve
ming. Saturday evening the bill
ball room played to capacity
crowds, and McWilliams and his
boys received many an encore
for their fine performance.
Excellent service offered by
the Washington Railway and
Electric Cars, as well as that
by the new Washington Coach
Bus line added to the enjoyment
of the trip.

POLICY IS
PLANNED
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY


Unless the differences with the
Musicians Union are settled in
the meantime-which at the
moment seems improbable
Loew's Palace Theater and the
Fox will drop stage shows and
revert to a straight picture policy
on September 1.
Union officials refused to pro-
ceed with negotiations for new
contract unless the clause fixing
a minimum Number Of musicians
for each theater concerned in
the agreement was first recog.
nized. On this point the theaters
through their negotiators refused
to consider a continuation OF
the clause which has been in
effect under the expiring three
year agreement.
