Aided by Perform
ance Here
The warmest-hearted profession in
the world held a benefit perform
ance, at the Forrest Theatre this after
noon as an aid to raising Philadelphia's
share of the Actors' Xntioual Endow
ment Fund. 1
Actors the world over look after the
failures and the sick and ueedv of their
profession, lit the old precarious days
an liclur who was lorluiiaii' enough In
l draw lug a f-alary would alwaya help
out a poorer brother artist who was
proudly and gamely trying to make his
last few dollars cover 11 multitude of
expenses. Today the more buccessfu'
of the, profession are taking more ado
dilate, if less intimate and nicturcsnuc,
moans of proUdltig for the plajcrs who
luce strutted and fretted their little
hour upon the stage without any satis
factory monetury reoullH.

of tli" organization have enormously in
creased and now, for the first time, the
public Is being called uiiou lo provide

There was something reminiscent of
the great, nuu the. loaUIe. pathetic,

noon. It called 1111 the hone and the
striving, the ambition and the hardships
of nil who have ever walked the van
