Home for Invalid and Aged Members
of the Theatrical Profession.

Home for Invalid and Aged Members
of the Theatrical Profession.
Denver, Feb. 2O.-Denver has been
chosen as the location for, a national
home for invalid and aged members
of the theatrical profession and stage
employees.
More than 100000 has been pledged
by theatrical organizations and indi-
viduals for a building fund and it has
been finally decided that the home
shall be established in Denver If the
desired site may be secured.
This site is owned by the state and
application for it has been made to
the state board of land commission
ers. The board is inclined to act fa-
vorably upon the application, but it
will first be necessary to make GER
tain changes in the details Of the ap-
plication.
1t is planned to establish the home
on the cottage plan, with a central
building to cost at least $250,000.
Nearly 100 acres Of land is desired as
site, and it is planned to make the
home nearly self-supporting by the
cultivation of the land.
Besides the 100000 already pledged
for the establishment OF the home the
committee in charge, with temporary
headquarters in Denver, has been as
sured Of several donations of large
sums for the maintenance Of the home
in the form of endoWments and a
large number of theatrical managers
have agreed to donate the receipts OF
their theatres every Christmas to the
maintenance fund.
Alternative applications for sites
are pending before the state land
board, but the preferred site is a
tract Of about 100 acres between Den.
yer and Littleton, with water rights
available.
