kindly and generous hospitality, but
for the nation in working for this

The hospital is caring for the
civilian strangers here in great

Emergency Day at strand.
As its bit in the drive. Moore's
Theaters Corporation, Tom Moore,
president, has set today apart as
Emergency Hospital Day at the
Strand Theater. The entire proceeds
Of tonightis performances will be
donated to the hospital fund. The
bill is particularly appropriate and
lends itself extraordinarily well to
this purpose.
The feature of the program is
Triangle Company's seven-reel pho
toplay. "A Soul In Trust" picturing
Belle Bennett and ]. Barney Sherry
in the principal roles, which depicts
a story of Washington life for
which a majority of the scenes
were filmed in. this city. The narra-
tive is one that concerns the Cap
itaPs political, social and business
life, and the picture, therefore,
should enlist the especial interest
of residents of the city, for whose
benefit the Emergency Hospital is
maintained. and conducted.
In addition to the feature subject
the program will embrace short
reel features and an orchestral pro-
gram under the direction of Daniel
Rreeskin.
