ST. 600 for Picture.

NEW YORK. April 4.-More than
80 ,Otl was added to the fund of the
American committee for Relief in Ire

aHCe held yesterday afternoon at the
Metropolitan Opera house. Among
those who contributed to the success OF
the entertainment were Laurette Tay-
loT. George NJ. Cohan, William Collier,
Victor Herbert and Chauncey 0lcott.
When it was found that the gross re
ceipts would amount to more than $50.
0gO it was decided that way should
be devised to raise the $4,000 needed for
rent of the Metropolitan Opera house
and incidental expenses. The scheme
adopted was for Cohan and Collier to
auction copies of the program, with
autographs of each actor and actress
participating in the benefit and also an
autographed original of the cover de-
sign OF the program, painted By Henry
Give.
Collier pushed the price of the first
program up to $500 and knocked it down
TO Dennis McSweeney. He sold the see
ond To Elks Lodge, |, New York City,
for $500. Then Cohan offered the orig
nal paint ing for the program cover.
When the price reached 500 he turned
apnealingly to his fellow-actor and said:
"BiI, you'll bid $3.50, won't your"
Collier was taken By surprise and
could not refuse Finally, the picture
was knocked down to Elks' Lodge, No.
