SUCCESS Of FRESH AIR
FUND DUE TO FRIENDS
Only Cooperation by GiverS of
Money, Hospitality and Work
Makes 1t Possible.
EACH IS INDISPENSABLE
Entertainers of Poor Youngsters
Cover Six States-Givers of
Money Live Everywhere
Others Are Legion.

The success Of the Tribune Fresh Air
Fund thus far this summer has Been due
10 the cooperation OF its friends Their
name is legion The Tribune Fund is. IN
fact, merely an agency by which these
friends are enabled to unite for the well
fare Of the poor children Of the city.
Those who have made possible the send
ing 10 the country this season OF a multi
tude Of boys and girls might be called
contributors. Some have contributed
money. some hospitality, some personal
service There have been thousands Of
each kind.
What the givers Of money have done Is
easy to estimate. They have contributed
81. 3Jl "a for the expenses OF the work.
More is needed, however, but more will
be given. These contributions are the
backbone of the work. for practically
nothing could be done without money
These contributors live i'm all parts Of
the United States. In the last few
months contributions have come TO the
Tribune Fund from Maine and California.
from Washington and Florida and from
Texas and North Dakota. a few have
even slipped over the border from Can
other side Of the Atlantic from Ameri-
cans spending the summer abroad.
More numerous even than the friends
who have given money are those VINO
have given and are still! giving hospital
ity. These are the persons who take
from the city the Youngsters whose rail
road fares have been paid with the money
given by others. They take these chill
dren into their homes and entertain them
rs guests for a fortnight "a month or all
summer.
These friends are less widely scattered,
but they are spread pretty we'll over SIX
states.
What they do for the children it is not
so easy TO estimate. II does not stop.
however with providing board and iods-
ing and a good time. More important l.
the impression which these hosts, with
their different mode Of life, make on the
minds of the children. What revolutions
that impression makes in the lives of the
children there Is no record except the
lives themselves.
Besides these friends. there is another
class who DO their part They are
the men and women who give their time
10 the difficult task of sitting ont and
selecting the children who are TO be sent
away. Many are volunteers, who receive
little or no pay for their service Their
work is important. however since to
them must be left 10 determine when
children are most deserving problem
not always easy TO solve. Until it is pos
sibla 10 provide for all, however the
problem must be solved many times each
year. and only good judgment and con-
scientious effort on the part Of these
workers can solve IL correctly

WHO'S WHO?
William Collier in Tame Farce
by Richard Harding Davis.

That who's Who" the farce written
by Richard Harding Davis for William
Collier. in which that popular comedian
opened the Criterion last night, proved TO
be tame and tenuous affair, lightened
only here and there by hearty laughs
was the more to be regretted because Mr..
Davis started with a good plot Lester
Ford sent to Texas for his health, has
been hiding in Arizona for five years, be-
cause a train robber who had relieved
him of his cowboy OUTFIT, including his
, guns" deliberately stamped with his
name. had shortly af,erward been shot
| to pieces by a sheriff 5 posse and buried
under the name found on his stolen weap-
ons Ford fears that Texas justice. dis
covering that it has buried the wrong
man. will want to bury him, too, the
moment he assumes his real Identity So,
under the sobriquet Of "Soapy Sam
Smith he IS an unhappy. homesick cow
boy He hates his chaps, he hates the
revolvers on his thighs. he hates his
horse. he hates TO throw steers because
II may hurt them. he hates TO brand
mavericks because he knew them when
they we're kids" And he is still in love
with his cousin Alne. back home in Mas
sachusetts. So. when his father dies,
leaving him half a million dollars. he
denies his identity 10 the lawyer sent
West 10 find him, but consents to imper-
senate himself for a day when he dis
covers that the man OF law has de-
frauded the estate and seeks to save
himself Hence complications in Fair
haven. Mass. I'm which Ford continues TO
DENY and assert his identity to the very
end.
This one motive must carry the entire
three acts. and it is insufficient TO do so.
Its constant repetition becomes weari-
some. the part OF Lester Ford is written
I'm ono KEY and the many minor figures
in tho play are not employed to give II
additional interest. or TO further the ac-
ton. They are most OF the time merely
feeders" for the star. Some Of the situa-
tions are amusing: there is an occasional
clever line: Mr. Collier does his familiar
hest for the piece. but the impression it
leaves in the end is rather boresome. So
far as the acting is concerned aside from
the star. mention must be made OF
Charles Dow Clarke's capital sketch OF
sanile New England squire. and OF Nicho-
las Burnham's work as the proprietor Of
the Fairhaven inn. The others have next
10 no opportunity, and do as well as they
can with that.
