To-nights party at the Little Club for
the benefit OF THE Sun Tobacco Fund
will show some unusual features. Hold
ing II on Sunday is the first OF these,
and perhaps the reason for doing so al
though sufficiently obvious may as well
he explained. 1t is this: Many OF the
volunteer performers owing to their
professional engagements have never had
an opportunity to appear in a smoke
fund programme. so when the idea of
giving one at the Little Club was pre-
sented 10 Gaillard T. Boag. its manager.
by these volunteers they asked that the
date be fixed SO it would be easy for
them to show.
The suggestion met with favor with
the management and with other artists
who have before sung or danced for the
fund, for the latter said in effect this ::
Formerly when we have gladly done
our bit for the soldiers smokes 1t has
been necessary for US to At In our act
after our own professional appearances.
That made US late in the bill, late
enough sometimes to make us miss the
crowd. who had begun to go home. and
and also we appeared more or less tired
after doing our regular work. Now,
II Mr.. Boag will make the affair come
of on a Sunday night we can all be
there from the commencement OF the
party, appear in good form, fresh and
glad TO do our best and please our
selves as well as the audience"
These and other arguments were con-
sdered by the manager and found good.
The result Is a prospect OF very gay
and spontaneous party tonight at the
club The Moon Room is to be used as
background and of course everybody.
Including persons who are not au fat
as to cabaret life. know that this room
and other appurtenances of the Little
Club are contained In floor OF the
Forty-fourth Street Theatre Building.
Molly King is positively TO appear to-
night at this party. She was one OF the
first to proffer the suggestion of the
date, for this star Is SO busily engaged
in her own professional appearances al
ways that while she has made time for
the smoke fund she has never been
satished that conditions permitted her
TO do her best for it. Miss King Is to
appear twice on to-nights programme.
