PLAN OF BENEFIT
Auction of Seats to Aid Times
Employees viii Be Held
Tomorrow

The most imposing aggregation OF
ushers that has ever served in Los
| Angeles will officiate tomorrow in the
Auditorium at the auctioning OF boxes
for the Times employes'@benefit. Such
men as Henry f. Huntington, Stoddard
Jess, j. d. Radford, Robert Hale' "A. u
Bilicke, Sherman Pease, NJ. A: Ham
burger and many others WI help
arouse enthusiasm. Mayor Alexander
will be the auctioneer, and he wishes
the best possible support.
These men have no connection with
the ushers who will serve at the bene-
fit performance on the afternoon or the
goth inst At that time 1t is probable
that the men who are acquainted with
the boxes and seats will act as usual.
The merchant ushers will circulate
among the people who will crowd
around the auctioneer and urge them
to raise the bids. The joint committee
of the chamber of commerce and Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
wish II understood that this benefit Will
give all an unusual opportunity to
show their grief at the suffering that
pervades so many homes at this time
of mourning and a direct means to
benefit those who most need the money.
MERCHANTS OFFER SERVICES
There will be no "red tape" about the
must be donated or the committee does
not want 1t. e. H. Roth, the florist,
has been added to the committee on
decorations, and scores of the mem
bers of the two commercial bodies have
rendered their services to the commit
tee. Confectionery will be donated by
the leading candy stores, and potted
plants and decorative features will be
supplied without cost.
NJ. c. Neuner, who has charge of the
program, has obtained an effective de-
sign and already has solicitors going
among the merchants for advertising.
Those buying boxes or loges at the
Tuesday auction or those contributing
in any way to the success of the enter
tainment will have the pleasure of
knowing that not one dollar of the
sum raised viii be devoted to any
other purpose than for the widows and
orphans of the Times employees.
The Theatrical Managers association
VIII prepare progam of great excel
lence, embodying star features from the
local playhouses. Theatrical folk are
noted for their generosity in helping
any good cause, and it is certain that
a program of at least five hours dura-
tion will be arranged. When anyone
becomes tired he or she can leave the
theater and the seat will be promptly
resold. In this respect the matinee
will be like continuous performance.
