CRIPPLED KIDDIES New Hopes in Life Extended to Maimed Children at Christmas Party. Nearly 2,000 Kiddies, who have suffered severely in the early years Of their lives, listed as cripples in the municipal record, found new hope of life and joy to-day at the Strand Theatre. The afflicted youngsters were guests of The Evening World, which six years ago, started the movement of giving entertainments for chil dron whose parents cannot buy tick- ete ¢o affairs of the kind which must gain profit in order to continue There were moving _ pictures speeches and singing. In these re. @pects The Evening World Chrietmar @how did not differ greatly from thousands of other similar entertain ments in New York and througho the world. But there was something else. This was an event. Two thousand crippled Kiddies, who had felt all of life's hopes to be lost, found tham again In the sympathy of an institution and the devoted men and women engaged in the service Each 414 every afflicted child was made to fecl that this great affair was all for him or her. They realized that their importance in the affairs of life was recognized by The Evening World and the corps of workers who @rranged the celebration. Besides the cripples, maimed by e#treet accidents, infantile paralysis or other troubles, there were present many children physically ft. Among these were many who, with wistful faces pressed against closed doors, failed to get into the Strand Theatre yesterday when the first of the two Bvening World Christmas shows was #iven. The trouble was that there im not an auditorium in New York, nor n the world, big enough to hold the kiddies who look to The Evening World for cheer and encouragement. The Kiddies at the celebration to- day cheered and laughed as if no one of them had a care in the world. Only when Harry Schlacht, directing the affair, announced that Sophie Irene Loed still is seriously il, did silence fall. The hush was a tribute which Mise Loeb, knowing the nature of sohiKdren, would have appreciated if she could have been there, Then Wr. Schiacht called for three @heers for Sophie Irene Loeb. They ‘were given with a will. Applause greeted the appearance of Adolph Lewisohn, who was introduced by Mr. Schiacht as a philanthropist of international fame. Mr. Lewisohn said “I am happy to be here with you. We all want to do service for our country and help those who cannot help themsel are happy to do what w help you to be gkood and strong, to give you the right opportunity in public school to Ket good education and at the same time make you as comfortable as possible and you a good pp portunity for healthful exerci We will do what we can to have | good playgrounds provided and goo healthy recreation, and hope that this entertainment to-day will please you and add to your happineas. “We all love the women who have arranged for this delightful enter tainment, particularly Miss Soph Irene Loeb. “The war is over now, b there tg still be don such work t T hope you will all grow up to be fine men and women, and that you will distinguish yourselves, become good citizens and be a credit to the com- munity and a good example for others to follow, 1 wish you all a very Happy New Year.” The affair was arranged by a com mittee of women of which Miss Wliz- abeth Fee was Chairman, Among her associates were the Misses Maud Bieter, Clair and N Haviland, Muriel Bliss, Marlon Eaton, Mrs. Samuel Goddin and Mrs, Beatrice Gritzner, Members of this committee who have worked devotedly for the enter- tainment and encouragement of the FOR PROMPT RELIEF FROM ip, Sore Throat, Cold in Chest all Inflammation and Con- ion, Radway’s Ready Relief ives Instant Relief and Com- fort to the Sufferer.

Police Commissioner Enright fe- turned to his desk yesterday and in the afternoon the reporter put the questions to the head of the depart- ment. Commissioner Enright was told the nature of the complaint and asked for a definition of the duties of the bandsmen and the songsters on the force, a list of the patriotic cele- brations they had participated in and the amount of time devoted to the work, and the character of work they were doing on the force when they did it “I don’t think it necessary to print the list of either,” said the Commis- sioner. “They have been taking part in Government work, Hed Cross and Liberty Loan drives, entertaining the incoming soldiers and singing at base hospitals.
