Fireworks Galore
Believing that no time could be
more opportune for a patriotic dem-
onstration than the present, the
management of Belle Isle Park, Ok-
lahoma City, has arranged for a ser-
ies of pyrotechnic displays to be
staged at the lakeside and on a plat-
form in the center of the lake, Wed.
nesday, Friday and Sunday nights
(August 22, 24 and 26).
Each of these demonstrations con-
stitutes a complete program; not a
jumble of odd-and-end fireworks
picked up anywhere. Three programs
will be put on by a fireworks com-
pany. In each there will be two out-
standing features; The Curtain of
Fire and a patriotic tableau. The
former is an exact reproduction of the
peculiar mode of warfare brought in-
to existence by geniuses of the Great
War. At Belle Isle it will operate over
a frontage of 300 feet. The tableau—
a different one for each night—will
be elaborate sets in which from
dozen to twenty people are used, set
off by pyrotechnic splendor and
against a patriotic background of fire.
This fireworks display, as is the
case with others now taking place ir
the United States, has the approba
tion of the government. The Council
of Defense has said all along that it
will encourage the continuation of
celebrations, state fairs and carnivals.
Uncle Sam himself is about to launch
the show business. Shooting of
fireworks is not a waste of powder.
Even if it were sheer loss of material,
it would not be a waste, as demonstra-
tion is a vital factor in the success of
any war. But as a matter of fact, fire-
works manufactures do not use the
kind of explosives that have any use
whatever in war. It would be a back-
ward army that with black powder—
and that is what goes into fireworks
And it is from an accumulated store
of black powder that fireworks are
made.
The displays at Belle Isle will be
staged by Martin's Fireworks Com-
pany, a concern that in the manufac-
ture and arrangement of pyrotechnic
programs has equalled if not sur-
passed Pain.
