THOUSANDS AT MAY DAY FETE. Children Entertain at riuij Festival Ml Crozcning of Queen Early on Lung Programme. i Folk Dances Are Given Un der Electric Lights. The second annual May Day play festival drew nearly 10.WO children parent and friends the Echo Park i I layground yesterday afternoon and evening. An elaborate programme of i jrames and recreation activities.

In which more than 1000 children participated, entertained the youngsters and visitors during two sessions which last-d about six hours. I The playgrounds were taxed to the utmost to accommodate the visitor. Farly in the afternoon every available seat was occupied. There was a pha-. lanx, six deep, surrounding the square reserved for the games.

Back against the fence, on a higher level, another line of spectators crowdod eagerly for vantage points. Perched on the apparatus were hundreds of small boys sticking there like so many flies. Banked In front of the playground library was a solid mass of youngsters. Many wondered where all the young- ri'ia iojiici iruin. lie Biircto 1IL irilt- ie Heights were empty for once.

That plained the presence of several thousands, and doubtless the neighborhood in the vicinity of the Violet and Slau-. fon-avenue playgrounds was strangely julet today, for It was to be the greatest day of the year. Yet in spite of the throng, the boys and girls were well tehaved. There was not a single acci-; ient or unfortunate affair to the whole enow. IS HOLIDAY 'Every visitor was in holiday attire.

Slny tots, scarcely able to walk, and large boys and girls formed a mass human happiness. It was a joyous time, and although the sjn was warm ind the ground hard, the youngsters fat through the long programme without complaining. During the evening session, the small boy broke out oc-, casionally with unrepressible caustic comments, but they were given and taken good naturedly, and every mln-; Bte of the entertainment was enjoya- tie. The May Day ceremonies proper, ere given by the children of the playgrounds and this feature started the fun. Winding Its way through the outer crowd, wound the May profession.

Two tiny girls, bearing tiny I a-kets of rose petals formed the van- truard snd heralded the coming of the May. i Seated in a flower-covered (harlot, and covered with, garlands of flowers and ferns, and drawn by eight girls dressed in dainty white frocks, Ftood the May Queen, pretty Ethel H. Pruett. Then came the retinue of girls bear- trxr ha Miiv nrtlA ivhlnrt wnji hnund hv streamers of smilax and roses. The 1 procession marched around'the square to the throne of the Queen.

There the smiling Queen clad in white chiffon and flowers, was crowned. The two tiny heralds-sat at the foot the throne and maids graced the banks. The real fun was on. MAT POLE DANCE. Then came the May-pole dance.

Under the direction of Miss Edna Best, fifty girls of the Echo Park Play- pround had trained long and faithfully for their parts. Holding the ends of long streamers, some of ribbon and others of smilax, the dancers circled and reclrcled the pole in graceful movements. Their performance drew earnest plaudits from the visitors. It was a pretty spectacle. Folk dances and children's games re vealed fascinating movements by groups of children from the various playgrounds, every motion waj guiaea sweet strains of music.

It was a Revelation to witness the auiet har i tnony In the dances. The efforts of children were appreciated, I A dumb-bell drill by a group of thirty-five boys of the Triangle De partment of the T.M.C.A. gave an ex eel lent exhibition, under the direction of George Perrlne. Then came a Swedish dance and motion song by twenty little girls, proteges of the Or phans' Home, with Miss Rogers in charge. There was surely variety in the fixes of these girls, and one won dered under what varied circumstances each child had been found when taken to the home.

It will be surprising if these little dependables are not called tor at the home by some of the visitors who watched them yesterday, for their tinging and dancing was fine. INSTITUTE GIRLS SING. Of a similar nature was the motion song of the girls of the Bethlehem In-i ctitute, with lilss Bartlett in charge. Very pretty and above all. skillful, was the German hoop drill end Indian club drill given by squads of the Los An-jpeles High School gymnasium clashes.

2dlss Rogers directed the girls and their work was faultless. It was a difficult turn, too, for right in front of the stands squatted a company of the United Boys' Brigade, nattily uniformed. They gave the girls a strong Hand. Dr. Ross, the veteran Instructor cf the Turnverein.

brought out thirty of tUa girl of the second class, but it was a first-class performance. And the boys In their dumb-bell drill, were equally good. Striking in appearance fend pleasing in performance, was the work of Director George Bladen's squad from the Occidental Academy, which gave an Uian club drill and liaymakers' dance. Uniformed in black blouses and bloomer, with waistbands of gold, the girls made a handsome appearance, and their movements showed careful preparation. One of the best things in the drill l' was ths work of the United Boys lingade under the command of Harry Bryant.

Unique in costuming and graceful in movement was the Russian Cossack drill given by girls of the Olive street High School. Mrs. Morgan M. Morgan had charge of tut quad and their stunt drew merited applause. Then came the tumbling am! pyramid exhibition by boys of the Polytechnic gymnasium class, a feature which attracts praise wherever given, FLOWER DRILL.

Three flower drills or frolics were cii en. Miss M. Workman's class from Rrownson House settlement taking the palm for unique movements, r. nil Mlfn Kdna CooWg class from the B.C. Academy showed the most Intelligent and perfect execution in dlf-j nit drill formations.

The academy riiis were oluer and of course were T3 ncl their work trhowed fine leadership and direction. drills were also Riven by Mlir ViiH '-ti riss from Polytechnic High nil and by Miss Fherwn's gqui room for a "steenth" part of the vialt- the tamaie and wienie wagons amix-J by the invasion of hun-ia try hildren. There was still the even- inK show to ae. and darkness was not busaboo with this attraction. was hardly a noticeable decrease In the number of visitors in the evening.

A powerful arc light had been perched high above the dancing platform and in the shadow i the light could be seen the solid lines of visitors. EVENING PROGRAMME. More educational and characteristic in scope was the programme of the evening. Tableaux, national- dances, and games formed the principal fea tures, and though the performers were at a disadvantage in esnicnmg oeiori appreciated. There were Japanese, PpanUh, German peasant, Syrian.

Greek. Russian and Indian dances. In each group characteristic costumes I mi were worn and the effect was kaleidoscopic upon the audience. The Highland fling, glve'n by members of the Caledonian Club, assisted by Bagpiper Collie, proved the hit of the evening, the youngsters being encored several times. They went through their steps almost faultlessly, and the dancing was even more graceful than the Spanish La Palnma.

To Superintendent Stub ltaitt and his assistants tthould be given praise for the day's pleasure. It was a tremendous task to plan the varied and unique features, and its reception proved the entertainment was full of reward for the director. Superintendent Dickey of the Oak lands Playgrounds and Superintendent of Play Schlltter of San Francisco were Interested spectators during the entire performance. They were highly pleased with the programme. The work of the playgrounds children was especially Interesting.

They complimented Super-tendent Kaltt warmly. HANFORD. A NNOUNCE NEW APPOINTMENTS, CITY BOARD OP TRUSTEES DIS-TRIBUTES PLUMS.
