Blair of the Blair lines, who previ-
ously fixed the first of April as the
date of the first trip of the steamers

Benefit at the Belasco

A benefit at the Belasco Theatre yes
terday afternoon netted the Militia Of
Mercy $4,000 to provide free wool for
the soldiers and sailors. The feature
of the occasion was a playlet by
Ethelyn Brewer De Foe, "The Weaker
One" described on the programme as
"a tribute to the spirit of the French" 4"
which Mr.. Belasco produced himself
with his customary taste. Of widows
two children, a son and daughter, the
son proved the weaker. He was a cow
ard who refused to respond to the call
to arms, but when his sister had
dressed in his clothes and gone to take
his place his spirit was at last kindled.
The writing was consistent and effec-
tive and the acting particularly sue
cessful. The chief honors fell to Le-
more Uric as the daughter and to
Alice Fischer as the mother. George
lie Guere was the son. William X. Har-
court and Calvin Thomas took lesser
roles.
Ethel Barrymore and her company
gave the last act Of "The Lady of the
Camcllias, George M. Cohan sang his
famous war song, cover There" Nora
Bayes and Irving Fisher gave several
popular numbers, and Mme Carrie
Bridewell, of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, rendered several selections.
