River Dances

Washington music and dance
fans may well be happy over
their advance reservations for
the two moonlight cruises Of the
S. S. Potomac this Saturday
night.
For them it means an oppor-
tunity that many have missed
in other cities and in Washing
ton previously-the chance to
listen and dance to the music Of
a great name in that field
Paul Whiteman.
Whiteman and his 26 piece
orchestra, while planning to
stop over in Washington on his
way to fulfill other engage
ments, were prevailed upon by
the Potomac River Line to play
for not only one, but two moon
lights-the first leaving at $50
p. m. and the second at 1890
a. m.
The gracious Whiteman &C.
cepted when it was pointed out
to him that unless he accepted
the engagements, Washington
ianS would be unable to hear
him for the duration of his we'll
filled engagement calendar
which reaches well into winter
months.
He brings with him his full
staff of individually famous
artists, including the charming
Joan Edwards, whose lifting
melodies have charmed listeners
throughout the world. There
are the swinging teagardens -
Jackson T. and brother Charlie,
whose trombone and trumpet
combinations have made swing
history since swing was born.

Gene Ford, who is producing

tainS that so abundant is the
talent in this undertaking that
it is certain to eventuate as the
"hit" Of all Going Native"
Shows. With the chorus and

AS the plot unrolls, Miss Raye,
the ugly duckling of the family,

Good hot weather, over a
stetch, might enable the amuse-
ment park to equal 1875 sue
ceSsful box office.
1t takes two or three SizzlerS
in a row to make patrons pool
conscious. On one August day
in 1887 the pool dunked 3,456
customers, the record. That was
on the fourth day of a heat
wave. On Tuesday of this week,
1881 sought relief in the cool
waters of what the Maryland
health authorities rate the most
sanitary swimming spot in the
entire country.
Glen Echo spent $4,000 to
macadamize the entire park, re-
placing the pebble walks with
smooth promenades. 1t was
good investment, for pebbles are
a nuisance. especially as Dame
Fashion decided women should
wear summer shoes without any
toes.
MANY CHURCH PICNICS
One of the attractive features
of the Schloss summer paradise
is that there is no parking prob
lem for patrons. Through lease
from the Government, Glen
Each provided a large lot that
can accommodate 1000 cars.
With the additional space in
front of the park for 200 more,
the motoriSt really has a park
ing choice. Sixty percent OF the
customers come by street car,
40 per cent by auto.
That Glen Echo Park has been
able to stay in the procession
despite the weather man Is
largely due to the fact that it
has been mecca for Sunday
school picnics. More than 300
churches and religious organi-
cations have had their annual
frolic on the picnic grounds and
enjoyed the so attractions with
in the gates.
To end this on an optimistic
note. Neutrality-suspicious. SchlosS
says that unless the law Of aver
ages goes completely astray, the
weather from now to September
10 should have a minimum OF
rainy days.

White Sister
For Little

After a three-year search, the
management of the Little Thea
ter has succeeded in obtaining
a print of The White Sister,"
tender screen romance starring
Helen Hayes and Clark Gable,
and the picture will be revived
at the Ninth Street house begin
ming Sunday.
The film is an adaptation Of
F. Marion Crawford's novel,
treating of a devotion which
transcended the love of two
people for each other.
Miss Hayes, whose work on
the stage and screen has
prompted her designation as the
finest of contemporary American
actresses, is cast as the daughter
of an Italian prince, who breaks
away from the sheltered life
that she has been leading, falls
in love with an army officer.
Heartbroken when she hears of
his death in the World War, to
which he is sent soon after. she
enters a convent. It develops
that he did not die, but, in q
tense, dramatic scene, she re-
mains true to the VOWS that have
been taken.
A sterling supporting cast is
seen in The White Sister" The
players include Lewis Stone as
Miss Hayes father, May Rob
son as the mother superior, Ed
ward Arnold in the role of a
priest, Louise CLOSER Hale, and
Alan Edwards.
