"PLAYB0Y" KISSED; B0OED
One Irishman Defies John Bull
McAdoo Approves Drama.

"The Playboy of the Western World" at
Maxine Elliott's Theatre had an audience
composed in a large majority Of womon
at the matinee yesterday afternoon, and
the performance went off smoothly, the
only Interruptions Of importance being
laughter and applause of the usual va
riety. At the point in the first act whera
excitement has begun in previous per-
formances there were two Kisses at yes
terday's matinee, both coming from a
group Of three men in tho back rows Of
the lower floor. At the second signal for
a rumpus, when the Playboy announces
himself as the murderer of his father, the
same three men added three more Kisses
and two boos.
Between the first and second acts an
English actor two rows behind the Irish
patriots reproved them severely but ele-
gantly for their conduct. one Of the Irish.
men arose and proclaimed his rights in n
loud voice. whereupon six painclothes
men hurried over from the other side Of
the theatre. and a considerable part OF the
audience rose to their feet, evidently hop
ing for scrap.
When the patriot was told that he must
be quiet or be put out he replied:
~ will be put ont by lady usher or
Niger, but not by a John Bull" This
he repeated twice and then sat down
Thereafter there was quiet until the end
OF the play.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo, who attended
the play as censor on Tuesday night, re-
ported to the Mayor yesterday that the
play was quite harmless and he had seon
plays more Objectionable in this city The
Mayor said after receiving the report that
the play would not be interrupted by the
authorities. aud no action would be taken

might be termed the plant Of the fund AT
the beginning Of tho season it was planned
to continue the homo for undernourished
children at Shokan. y. Y, through an
other season, despite the fact that work
was progressing rapidly on the AshoEan
reservoir, within the limits Of which il is
situated. Toward the close Of the stay
OF the first party, however, the work on
the new roadhed of the Ulster & Delaware
Railroad had approached so near the home
as to make It seem advisable TO abandon
the place at once.
Some effort had been made 70 find a site
in the region for a home to replace the
abandoned one, but as yet none has been
found. The testimony Of the physscians
and nurses who have watched It as TO the
wonderful efficiency of 1his branch Of the
Tribune Funds work would seem to make
It expedient that no time be lost in ar
ranging for its re-establishment.
The other homes maintained under the
supervision Of the fund were all devoted
to the regular work Of providing fresh air,
pure food, sanitary surroundings and d
country vacation for children TO whom pow
erty had brought indescribsble privation,
but upon whom disease had not laid its
hand
Tho history Of the work Of the Tribune
Fund is a history of advancement in ef-
hciencv The season of 1911 witnessed sew
eral important steps in this direction.
Prominent among these was the effort to
obtain greater efficiency at some OF the
homes through segregation of the sexes.
The Shepherd Knapp Home at Litchheld.

dated parties of two hundred. equally d.
vided between boys and girls was this year

of girls II was believed that In having
all boys or all girls at given home the
problem Of managing and amusing the
children would be greatly simplihed, and
that in other respects better arrangements
could be made with only one sex to care
for. The experiment proved a success IN

Directors Death Great Loss.

Amid the successes of the year the Tri-
bune Fresh Air Fund suffered one irrep-
arabic loss in the death Of the man who
for five years had so ably directed It's
activities, the Rev. Dr. John Bancroft
Devins. No man ever brought to his work
a heart more devoted nor a genius better
adapted to its requirements than did this
truly great man. Taking hold OF the Fresh
Air work at the point where his prede-
oessor. the Rev. Willard Parsons. had left
IL, he continued and augmented its success.
What executive ability he combined with
his greatness of heart the things that are
peculiarly his in the work show. He found
the Tribune Fund a great organization for
sending children to the country hut he was
not content TO continue IL with that one
aim. lie felt that there were to he found
among the multitudes ~ the poor little
children whose cases we're deserving of
special attention. Starting with this idea
no was led by a careful study Of conditions
to institute what might be called "A policy
Of specialization. The result Of this was
the establishment of the home for under
nourished children at Shokan, the homes
for convalescents. al Middletown and De-
post. and the homes for older girls and
boys Al Chapel Hill and Bethany.
The point to which above all others how
over, Or. Devns directed his attention was
the increasing OF the revenues Of the Fund.
lie so systematized this matter that
during each year Of his incumhency he
number of contributors went up by leaps
and bounds. II Is sufficient to say in this
regard that in five years the number of
people giving annually to the cause which
lay so near the heart Of the great leader
has been increased from S9l TO 1901.
Dr. Devins left behind him host of
friends in all. walks OF life. but especially
thousands upon thousands Of little friends
among the children of the crowded teno-
ment houses. They bad seen him in the
character which suited him best and had
learned TO love him. For years to come his

New Vacation Centres.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund, during the
summer Of 1911 provided country vacations
Of a fortnight each for 1876 children.
These children. without exception, came
from tho congested tenement districts Of
New York. In choosing them. no discrlm-
ination was made as to race or religion.
Rather the benefits Of the season were dis
tributed freely 20 jew and Gentle. to
Protestant and Catholic to Italian, Rus
sian. American and Armenian without dis
tinction
Philanthropy frequently finds it wise in
dealing with a6ults 10 distinguish between
the deserving and the undeservlng poor
But the Tribune Fund recognizes no such
problem as far as its benefciaries are con-
oerned. for children are the victims. not
the masters OF circumstances. and usually
the offspring of undeserving parents is
more 10 be- pitied than the offspring OF tho
deserving Manifest need OF the benefits at
the command OF the Tribune Fund was
the only requirement demanded Of those
who asked FOR a share I'm them.
To accommodate the army OF Fresh Air
children there were maintained In connec-
t.on with the work of the fund fourteen
Fresh Air homes. At these 5S2l girls and
boys were cared for The remaining 4,o55
youngsters were entertained by kind hosts
who opened warm hearts and pleasant
country homes TO the needy little dwellers
IN the eitys hyways.
To the greater number Of these children
the most barren field OF the countryside
would have been. by contrast with their
sordid home surroundings, haven OF
sweet delight. It was not, however, amid
barren fields that they were entertained.
ThAy were invited to hobnob with nature
in the garden spots Of the world. and
gained new outlooks upon life amid the
cool shades Of the Green Mountains,
among thu awe-inspiring traditions of the
cstskills. IN the Adirondacks and the Allie

He does not even chafe as most babies do. l feel sure that it is all owing to Cutieura Soap, for he is fine and healthy, and when five months old. won a prize in a baby contest. It makes my heart ache to go into so many homes and see a sweet-faced baby with the whole top of it's head a solid mass of scurf, caused by poor soap.
