Benefit Will Be Held in Maple and Marble Rooms | November 14-15 What attracts more sympathy than wistful-eyed, hungry children, and who appeals more effectively to pursestrings than the bright and progressive woman who champions their cause? Good people are always alive to the interest of the child who needs protecting care. There are seventy-five eager-eyed tots in th San Francisco Nurse: for Homel Children, and an energetic board of charming women is working for their maintenance. Therefore; when it is said that these identical women are arranging to hold an annual gift sale in the Palace maple and marble rooms on November 14 and 15 there can be no doubt as to the brilliant success of the undertaking, for the enterprising women are too whole- souled to do anything half-way.

A The fourth annual benefit in aid of the charity fund of the Associated Theatrical Managers of San Francisco will take place at the Orpheum Friday afternoon, November 14. This is the recognized amusement event of the year, the very best attractions from the best theaters in the city always being on the programme. The performance, as usual, will be con- tinuous. The local managers have taken care of and buried many actors during the last twelve months, and their funds leted to a great extent. The public is always quick to respond for this really worthy cause, however, and the big theater will un- doubtedly be packed. Tickets are now on sale at the theater box office. y —_—e————— Tried to Rob a Sailor.
