100 Fair Swimmers
Will Take Part in
Red Cross Show

A hundred mermaids in mass for
nation, life-saving demonstrations,
high and fancy diving acts and fast
action in the water will present
some of the features of the second
annual Red Cross Aquafete sched-
uled Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day nights at the Takoma Pool at
$50 pm.
Talent is drawn from Washington
swimming pools and the cast has
been rehearsing for weeks hoping
to put on a show comparable to the
famous Aquacade at the New York
Worlds Fair. Theme of the aqua
fete will be patriotism, with more
than $4,000 square feet of scenery
prepared as backdrops to carry out
this idea.
A large chorus of dancers from
the Madolin Hodgson Studios will
appear in colorful costumes. Latest
models in bathing suits will be dis
played.
According to Edgar Morris, gen.
eral chairman of this years Red
Gross Roll Call, the Aquafete Is run
ming three nights instead of one as
it did last year because the over
flow then indicated that more per-
sons would like to see such a bril-
liant water pageant.
The seating capacity will take
care of 10000 spectators and there
will be no admission charge.
