All of the institutions given above in tho story are being supported either wholly or in part by city funds. The response of the theatre managers was so great, however, that even the Pub- lc Welfare Bureau was unable to supply sufficient children to use all the tickets. The Evening World was able to allot the remaining tickets to deserving kiddies. Here is a list of some of the organizations which have |accepted tickets: The Mulberry Health Centre of the Association for Improving the Condl- tion of the Poor, located at No, 6 Mott Street, are yoing to send 290 Italian children, selected from the families who have been under the su- pervision of their nurses during this Past year, to the 44th Strect Theatre to-da The Urooklyn Catholic Charities Bureau ts sending fifteen of the kid- | dies from the Orphans’ Home to see the Winter Garden show to-day.
