In no quarter has President Roose-

city of San Francisco aroused quick
er response than from the members
of the theatrical world. Washington
will see this week a number of bene-
fit performances presenting an impos-
ing array of talent rendered in behalf
of California's ruined metropolis.
The week chances TO be an exception
ally good one from the standpoint
of theatergoers and it only needs

attaches are working together TO
make the entertainments a great sue

from the proceeds of any of the bene-
fits to defray expenses. The local
theater managers contribute the play
houses, the lights, and their own
services. The actors are not only
giving their services, Dut promise
such exceptional entertainments as
to overshadow the remainder of the
week and center the public's atten-
