Another Benent Party.
The desire Of the dancer, Doraldina, 70
help the smoke fund has led to some
thing almost like a regular SUN fund
party which Is to be held In the Paradise
Room of Reisenweber's. At first IT was
simple wish of the artist to perform
some Of her dances and introduce new
one which she was TO sell by auction,
but when Wagner a Fischer. the pro-
prietors. heard OF her plan they thought
il should be carried out with Greatec
preparations than the mere announce
ment. and in order to effect this they
suggested that Doraldina defer her per-
Torrance to the coming week. Manager
Shut has accordingly fixed next Tues
day night for the event.
Doraldina has Just arrived from Cali
fornia and next week will be the second
of her engagement In the Paradise Room.
II was under the same environment that
she introduced the hula-hula dance 10
New York several seasons ago. For THE
Sun Tobacco Fund she Is prepared to
Guido her previous performances.
Arthur Guy Empey will be at the party
at Reisenweber's ana besides making one
of his war time speeches he will auction
of the dance and various valuable gifts
which have recently been made TO the
fund.
