THE CHARITY CONCERT Over Nine Hours of Obntimous Performance at MetsSrott Hall o Professtonal People” and Amateurs Join in an Effort to Help the Poor of the’ “District. ‘The grand volunteer continuous perform- ance for the benefit of the poor of Wash- ington, held at Metgerott Music Hall from’ 2 till 11 p.m. on Sat , was carried out according tothe program as previously announced in The r,, The venture was an unqualified success. It netted quite a sum to charity. Not a dollar was sub- tracted from the receipts for the payment of anything, as everything in connection with the performance, as has been hitherto stated, was volunteered. About four hun- dred people were in the hall at 2 o'clock, when the entertainment began. The hall was lighte@ and the stage was decked with palms. People came and went, but at 5 o'clock, the hour at..which Mrs. Langtry appeared, the attendance was greatest. Then the audience dwindled down again, people passing in and, after remaining a few minutes, passing out. At 6:30 the hall once more begun to fill up, This continued the case till the sixty-second number on the program was reached, at close to mid- night. A large part of Washington visited the hall, the percentage of ladies being very high. The professional talent from Kernan’s Lyceum and Butler's Bijou thea- ters was of a high standard and enthused the audience. Much of the amateur talent vas of a high order. The most notable numbers on the bill were the overture for piano, by Mr. W. B. Gibbs; harp soio, Misr Anita Cluss; the musical wonder, Luigo Dell Oro, from Kernan’s; the Euterpean Club, Prof. M. Maina, director; the luet between Prof. Sig. Maina and Miss Mary Helen Howe; the Philharmenic Quartet, Mrs. H. H.

Mrs. Lang- try evoked much applause. gave an exhibition of the use of the fan, and as an encore the epilogue from “As You Like It. She brought to the hall most of her com- pany, who paid their money and heard her recite. Bill Nye, Miss Jennie O'Neil Potter and the other professional folks got a big share of the glory. It is hardly possible to tell of all the good things presented, but the following are entitled to honorable mention: Vocal duet, Patience and Bertha Mori; recitation, Miss Anita Hendrie; baliet by Prot Sheldon’s pupils: Bayadera, Edna Hurst; La Zampa, Ina Danforth; L’Ariel, Nellie Hunt; La Cachucha, Edna Hursi; La Zingara, Nellie Hunt and Edna Danforth; Washington Post March by sixteen of Prof. Sheldon’s pupils; vocal solo, Mr. Charles F.

Jay Durham, Willard Holcomb, Whitman Osgood and Frank B. Metzerott. Mr. Ed. F. Guzman s made secretary of the committee, and to him was intrusted all the details of pro- gram and management. That these were faithfully attended to this performance abundantly testified. The {dea of this con- tinuous performance was suggested by Mr. Metzerott. through Mr. Guzman_ before Judge Cole had appointed the committee, and when that body was named it utilized the scheme as the most feasible plan to obtain money that. was needed at once. Encouragement was received on all sidas, and acknowledgments are due to Mr. F. B. Metzerott for the use of Metzerott Hall, Woodward & Lothrop, J. C. Addison, E. Morrison Paper Gompany, the Conwell Ticket Company, H. F. Bart, Byron S, Ad- ams, Rufus H. Darby, McGill & Wallace, the Herdic Phaeton Company, Prof. Mur- ray and J. Losee. Mr. Guzman had the tive management of the entire perform- and was on duty from its commence- nt until the last number. He was ably sted by Mr. W. M. Hale as staze man, ager, who was also on continuous duty, s Mr. Geo. C. Rollings, who was in the box office and sold tickets, ‘The total amount received from the sale of tickets is not definitely ascertained yet as some tickets are out, for which returns have not been made. “But the sum will approximate $500. Si aE Sa PENALIZING HIGH HATS. ance, m A Bill to Be Introduced In the Mis- souri Legislature. A Dill will soon be introduced in the Mis- court legislature fixing the penalty of eject- ment and a $10 fine for any cne appearing in a theater to the hindrance, detriment or apnoyan-e of the thedater’s patrons, pre- sumably by the wearlig of hats so high and big as te ebstruct a View of the per- fcrmance. The member who will fataer the bill got his cue frorfi the action of a town council down in the southwestern portion of the state, which some time ago passed an ordinance to protest patrons of the play. The town whcse council set the pace in this matter nearly a year ago, is well satis- fled with the experiment. The high hat has been altogether eliminated there. The ground taken is that when one pays money WORSE OFF ‘THAN CHINA. Amertea’s Condition in Case of War, According to Admiral Gherardl. During his remarks before the New York Society of the Sons of the American Revo- lution the other night Admiral Gherardi said: “If we are to wait until war is declared before we begin to build armored vessels cr commerce destroyers, then we will find ourselves in just about the same condition that China was in on the declaration of war by Japan. In fact, I might say in a still worse condition, for China did have ships, but had no personnel. We have got the personnel, but not the ships. Should any person undertake to construct one of the modern armored vessels in less than eighteen months or two years, or a com- merce destroyer in about the same time, he would find that he had uadertaken more than he could accomplish. It seems to me that if the possession of a powerful arma- ment causes the desire on the part of the possessor to use them, then, on the other side, the absence of them lays one liable to attack.” to see a play he has, the right to expect that nothing in the conduct of his co- patrons will prevent him from getting the full benefit of his investment.

Eisner & Menpetson Co., ~ ctiheon dey —3 CENTRAL RELIEF COMMITTEE. ‘Some of the Business Transacted at the Meeting on Saturday. A brief meeting of the citizens’ central relief committee was held in the private room of its chairman, Judge C. C. Cole, at the city hall Saturday afternoon. Judge Cole presided, and in the absence of Secre- tary Emery Mr. J. W. Somerville acted as such. The other members present were Mrs. Babson, Miss Loring, Dr. Ritchie, Col. Tracey, and Messrs. Warner, Blout, Cook and Gardner. Judge Cole stated that he had appointed Mr. John B. Wight, Mrs. H. B. F. Macfar- land and George E. Emmons as the com- mittee of three to act in connection with the chairmen of the central committee and the committee on ways and means in the matter of dividing the District into conve- nient sections and the appointment of dis- trict chairmen. Mr. Wight explained that while the committee had not yet finally de- termined the m:tter, the District would be divided into the subdistricts of East Wash- ington, rorth and south, Southwest Wash- ington, Georgetown, Anacostia, Mount Pleasant, Brookland, Eckington, Petworth, Takoma and Washington Heights. Adopting the excellent suggestion of Mr. Blout, the northwest section would be di- vided so that each chairman would be given a street instead of a district. The chairmen will select their assistants, and there will be about the same methods as last year. One day, said Mr. Wight, would be selected as one on which the canvassers will call for selections. A meeting of the contribution committee and of the chair- men would be held at the board of trade rooms this afternoon at 2 o'clock, stated Mr. Wight. Judge Cole read a statement from Treas- urer Wilkins, to the effect that there was in his hands the sum of $3,578, and other collections would probably increase the amount to $4,000. Judge Cole also stated that he had appointed the entertainment committee authorized at the last meeting, and mentioned the fact that a great char- ity entertainment was then in progress, Mr. B. H. Warner was appointed a com- mittee of one, with authority to appoint others to assist him, in the matter of es- tablishing a soup station. Mr. Lawrence Gardner called attention to the great pound party given by The Star, and stated that it was one of the greatest successes ever known in such matters. Upon his motion, Messrs.Woodward and Lothrop and Messrs. Saks and Company were thanked for the assistance rendered the committee. He stated that the distributing committee would place on sale meal tickets at 10 cents each, and that all organizations would daily report the names of all persons as- sisted, so that duplication would be pre- vented. ‘The report and suggestions were ap- proved, and the committee then adjourned to meet next Saturday afternoon at the same place and hour. ————— One Hundred Lives Lost.
