7 HEAR the Charlotte Cushman Club
i will give a tea on Friday afternoon
Tor Ethel Barrymore. You know the
Drews and Barrymores have always
been immensely interested in the Cush-
man Club. There is room there fur
nished by John Drew In memory of his
mother, and Mr.. Drew always comes on
here to take part in any Cushman Club
benefits, so it was only to be expected
that Miss Barrymore would be one OF
the clubs honor guests.
And also did you know that the clubs
actors afternoon, which was scheduled
Tor January IL, has been changed to
January 3-that is, next Tuesday? The
reason is that Miss barrymore, who is
TO attend that meeting and be introduced
TO tho subscribers to the afternoons,
after the talk by Mr.. Augustus Thomas,
could not be here the week after, and
70. rather than have the many dis
appointed the date has been changed.
The actors afternoon will be in the
;Academy auditorium at 3 O'Clock on
Tuesday afternoon, January Q, and
Mrs. George Lorimer will preside.
