More than 500 persons attended the
performance at the Temple auditorium.
The sixty booths in banks, business
houses and department stores did good
business. The proceeds were sealed IN
envelopes and placed in safe deposit
box to remain until next week, so the
financial success of the day cannot pc
learned until then.
Sales Are Heavy
Mrs. Frank w. Blaine, chairman of
the church committee had general
charge OF the sales in the booths. The
booths were opened early in the morn
ing and we're well patronized all day,
not only by women, but by a generous
number of men. While carnations,
Mothers day buttons and postal cards
were the staple objects of sale, many
of the booths carried side lines of
souvenirs, fancy work and useful
articles for the home The song, 1.-THE
White Carnation," was sold at most
of the booths and found a ready sale.
At Hamburgers store bingham APP
rons were added to the list of salables
A great many were disposed OF.
The novel scenes of booths rugged up
in banks and real estate offices, with
affable women in charge, attracted wide
attention, and many were the sales
made through the curiosity of men
who otherwise would not have been
reached.
The benefit performance at the Tenn
pie auditorium was a success in every
way, the proceeds from the sale of
tickets was large and the auditors re-
ceived treble the value of their money.
The performance started at 1880 o'clock.
The company producing THE Dollar
Mark" at the Belasco theater presented
the first act of that play and then had
barely time to return to the Belasco to
repeat the act for the regular matinee
