in the Orphans Home and Day Nursery
Miss Adams response To an appeal from
The women identified with the orphans
nome movement brought gladness to
the hearts Of those women yesterday.
The letter, which was sent 20 Miss
Adams several days ago, is:
Miss Msude Adams,
broadway Theatre. Denver.
My Dear Miss Adams-The women Of
Salt Lake have Just about completed
a new orphans home, where The home
less and destitute children of the city
are 10 be cared for. The funds for this
building have been raised only by dint
of the hardest possible work on the
part Of the members of the Orphans
Home and Day Nursery association,
and there yet remains about $4,000 to
be raised. 1t was decided to ask you
II you would be willing TO give of your
time and your talent during your COM
ing visit here in order that a part at
ACcial VI THIS SUM may ne iGdAlHGu AuA
the needy little ones of your home town,
which has such great reason to be
proud Of the little girl who spent her
childhood here.
The plan was put before George D.
Piper of the Salt Lake theatre, and he
thinks we'll of it. judging that the MEM
bers of your company might be inter
iested by making division of the pro-
iCeeds between the Actors fund and
the Orphans home. He thinks a Fri
day matinee might very well be ar
ranged, and he says he viii gladly
undertake all the arrangements.
Realizing the many demands on your
time and your generosity, we know
that we are asking very great favor,
indeed, but we also feel that this IS
one which, should you find it in your
power to grant you VIII willingly do
SO. We have asked John D. Spencer
70 endorse this request, more as an
old friend of your own than in any
other capacity. for the cause is one for
which all the best men in the city and
the state have been willing TO cooper
ate.
Should you find it possible to comply
with the request Will you kindly ad-
wise MI. Piper at your earliest con-
venience? The enclosed clipping, pub
Ished last summer, shows the plan or
the building, which is now almost COM
pleted.
With warInest appreciation of any
favor you may be able 10 grant. and
the most cordial ana kindly wishes,
we are.
The members of the association,
BY RACHEL 5. MILLER,
President.
The lettes was sent last week, but it
was feared that the task OF two matt
nees in two days would be too great 70
ask of the company When the reply
came yesterday there was real I'M
feigned jubilation. The message was
replied to by Mr.. Piper, and second
telegram sent saying that the company
desired TO give the entire proceeds to
the Orphans home fund rather than
divide them, as the letter suggested.
TO the generosity of Miss Adams and
her company must be added that OF Mr.
iPyper as manager of the salt Lake
theatre, the use of which has been
freely donated for the performance
