Lambs in Gambol
Add $1,000 to the
Club Soldier Fund
Jolly Entertainment at the
Globe Theatre for Cause Of
Disabled Men.

At the Globe Theatre last night the
Lambs gave that Intimate Gambol that
they didn't say much about in advance
except that ii would take place and that
some non-lambs would be enabled to
look in. 1t was learned during the
course of delightful evening that the
club had arranged the event to take care
of a deficit of $4,000 In their fund
for entertaining disabled soldiers. The
Lambs spent for that purpose during
the last year $4,000 in giving dinners
and buying theatre tickets for the men.
and this was $4,000 more than they got
in from subscriptions and contributions.
And did they get 1t back last night?
They did. And did they give full value
in the way of entertainment They did.
1t was typical Lambs bill. staged in
fine STYLE with some of the best things
on it just labelled musical surprises.
One was the appearance of Francis
MacMillen, violinist. who played alto
gether charmingly until his @ string
broke and afterward. The other was the
Brown Brothers In their saxaphone
melody and fun. Irving Fisher in his
own and others songs was another nlust-
cal entertainer.
Miss Lillian Russell was there in green
and diamonds in q box to be named
Queen Of the Stage and h0nored guest
of the Lambs by Wilton I4ackaye in his
most gracious manner and to receive
almost as many American Beauties as
there are Lambs from the hands OF De
Wolf Hopper. For this she made a
speech saying she had come from Pitts
burgh to be among her own people and
was completely happy. With her was
her daughter, Miss Dorothy Russell.

sketch called Camille I'm Great

picking on Smith and Golden. c. B. Dill

Emmett Corrigan acted in his Law

that furnished enough thrilling drama
for much longer play.

music now and then. Edward Locke and
other good Lambs acted his Grandpa

dance.
And for a grand finale they revived
