The Entertainers Club Of Washington,
recently organized and composed Of some
Of the best-knOwn local talent, will give
its first complimentary recital Thursday
evening. November >. at 1923 F street. A
programme OF miscellaneous numbers will
be given by the members of the club.
The club will give two or more OF these
recitals during the season, and in addi-
ton to these will give entire programmes
for some Of the leading charities OF the
city. One Of the objects of the club Is
to try to discourage requests for gratis
work, IT being the opinion of the mem
bers that where this work has to be done
only the most worthy causes should re-
ceiYe this assistance. Good talent on a
programme makes a ready sale of
tickets to a larger number, thus giving
greater return to the church or charity
under whose direction the entertainment
IS given, and giving the public a pro-
gramme where the talent engaged has TO
make good. A splendid example Of this
policy is found in the Vaughn class con-
cert, which is an annual event. The
members Of the club, being relieved of
the task of appearing on a large number
Of gratis programmes, will have more
time to devote to their art, which will
he reflected in their public appearances.
The club has the support of prominent
local ClcrGymen, members OF hospital
boards, and church committees. Edwin
Callow. who was one Of the active mem
bers of the Musurgia and the organizer
and first president of the Motet Choir, IS
