IDEAL WEATHER
BRED CONCERT
f1&
Construction Crews Will
Have Stage Ready for
Opening Tonight.
Ideal weather is In prospect for the
program of the Summer concert series
by the National Symphony Orchestra
to be held at P o'clock tonight aboard
4 Navy barge anchored in the Po
tomac River near the Arlington Me
morial Bridge water gate. The
Weather Bureau last night said in
dications were for a fair, cool day.
Construction crews worked in shifts
all during the night to complete the
huge sounding board, which will act
as a giant megaphone to throw the
sound toward the audience, which will
be seated on the parkway near the
river, in chairs on the roadway
through the underpasses of the bridge
and on the terrace of the Lincoln
Memorial. The shell, 60 feet wide
and 40 feet deep, is constructed In
the shape of a half globe. The most
modern amplification equipment has
been installed to insure the audience
the best tonal qualities of the or
chestra.
Tickets Are Available.
•Hiose persons who failed to buy
advance tickets for the concert to
night will be able to purchase their
tickets at two booths at the entrances,
C. C. Cappel, business manager of
the orchestra, said.
Under the stating arrangement, the
entire audience will be formed into a
Jan, spreading out from the sides of
the barge. No seats will be outside
the range of the circle. For those
persons who buy tickets for the con
crete steps of the Memorial terrace,
cushions will be provided by attend
ants. The orchestra management has
asked that persons holding tickets for
the seats along the parkway enter by
the lower roadway and those who will
be seated in the upper tier of seats to
enter by the Lincoln Memorial plaza.
Dr. Hans Kindler, musical director.
Will take the 75 members of his or
chestra aboard the barge this morn
ing for a fina' dress rehearsal to ac
custom them to the new surround
ings and also to test out the acous
tics. This is the first time a concert
of this kind has ever been attempted
here and it is also the first time the
National Symphony Orchestra has
presented Summer concerts.
To Be Gala Occasion.
The opening concert will be a gala

Dr Kindler said last night that his
musicians are in excellent form and
•re showing a fine spirit of co-opera
tion and determination to give Wash

He expressed himself as well pleased
With the performances of the per
sonnel during the rehearsal period.
Everything will be in readiness be

noon. The chief usher of Constitu

that there is a minimum of confusion
In seating the expected large audi
ence. Several policemen will be sta
tioned around the concert site to
direct traffic and to keep down noises
which might interfere with the per-1
formanee.
Water-to-Shore Program.
In addition to the good music to
be made available by the orchestra,
those who attend will be given an j
opportunity to see something novel in
tile wa? of a concert stage. It will be
a water-to-shore program. The idea
is believed to have been taken orig
inally from the ancient Egyptian
entrepreneur who first used a floating
barge moored off the Nile’s banks as
• platform for his musicians and a
similar idea was used by the Roman 1
•mperors.
The floating shell is the first of its
kind to be erected in the United States
•nd is the product of F. E R. A. work
ers furnished by Commissioner George
E. Allen. Several such shells have
been built by relief workers, but here- |
tofore they have been erected on land.

It is claimed by its designers that
the shell will deflect the sharpest
crescendo without distortion and will
transmit the softest pianissimo in its
true tonal finest. The loud-speakers
give carrying power to the music.
These are on either side and above the
opening of the shell arch so that the
volume of sound will be brilliantly dis
tributed over the entire front. The
inside of the shell wull be brilliantly
lighted by two rows of lights, one ar
ranged behind the orchestra and the
other overhead.
Facilities for Musicians.
On either side of the shell and to the
rear of the wings are the rooms for
directors, soloists and players. The
conductors and soloists will be on the
right side facing the audience and the
players will have rooms on the left.
All the facilities of a modern concert
stage will be available for the musi
cians aboard the barge.
The huge barge was loaned to the
orchestra management by the Navy.
It is painted in the regulation Navy
gray and the color scheme of barge
and shell fit in with all the surround
ings architecture so there will be no
visual conflict.
Cappel, busy completing final details
for the concert tonight, said yesterday:
"We are confident of one of the
most successful concert seasons ever
enjoyed in Washington. The advance
ticket sales indicate the lively interest
of the people of Washington in good
music. With such patronage as has
been shown we cannot fail to have a
good season, for we have an excellent
group of musicians and one of the best
musical directors to be found in the
country.”

If your hair is faded, streak*
ed or gray, you are sure to
be delighted with Canute
Water. This is a pure, col
orless, odorless and crystal
dear liquid of wonderful
properties which actually
recolors gray hair. By using
Canute Water, lustrous,
youthful looking hair can be
yours once more.
Are YOU Old-Fashioned?
Only a few years ago the father of a young girl
discovered a box of rouge and lipstick on her
dressing table. And he raised a howl about it.
Today he brings these home as gifts.. .Which
only goes toprove that times have changed. That
today, it is considered a woman's duly to look
as young as she can. If she neglects herself, she
is considered unkempt...Nothing adds more
years to your appearance than gray, streaked
or faded hair. And there is nothing like Canute
Water to bring them beauty, color and lustre.
ness, Canute Water willpo*
itively overcome it. There
are no exceptions. Even if
you have been using soma
other hair coloring prepa
ration, it need not prevent
you from trying Canute
Water. It can be applied
with equal satisfaction
either during the day or at
night and in all weather
conditions.
There is as much difference |l_
between Canute Water and
"old-fashioned” hair dyes as
there is between an electric light
*nd an old-fashioned kerosene lamp.
■ Since Canute Water does
not alter the texture of your
hair, you may curl, wave or set it
— or get a permanent — as usual.
t Easy to Use
Because of its safety, cleanliness and
positive action, you can use Canute
Water alone, in the privacy of your
own room. No previous experience
is necessary. Just wet the hair with
it and allow it to dry. Could any
thing be simpler?
Canute Water re-colors gray hair
in from 1 to 3 applications, depend
ing on shade. Tne whole treatment
can be completed in a single day, if
desired. After that, a single treat
ment, once a month, is sufficient to
keep it that way.
Canute Water is not sticky or greasy
and leaves the hair clean and natu
Id
tal to the touch. It is not only a
hair "darkener” but imparts a col
or similar to nature’s own.
Color it Permanent
The effect is so perfectly natural
that there is not even the hint of a
dyed appearance. Your most inti
mate friends will be unable to dis
tinguish the re-colored hair from the
natural. And it remains permanent
against sun, air, salt-water or sham
pooing.
No matter what has caused your gray
Inexpensive
Even a very modest purse can spare
the trifling cost of keeping the hair
lovely with Canute Water. A bottle
will iast you for several months. If
you wish to share the first one with
a friend, you will find that it coo
tains enough for both.
Here’s a little secret. We made a
survey in a number of Cities recent
ly and found that over 40% of
Canute Water users are men. Which
only goes to prove that they, to<\
are recognizing the demands of so
ciety and industry for a youthful
appearance.
Come in for a bottle today and forget about your gray batr.
