comedy. The Son -Dodger," at the
Aldine Theatre last week speaks well
in advance for the popularity that
will undoubtedly come 10 Billy La
Var and his company OF girls in
THE Millinery Shop" which head
lines the attractions going on the
stage today.
Billy is a dancer of unusual ability
and the four girls who appear with
him are likewise capable in tripping
the light fantastic" The variety OF
the steps and dances offered by them
and the cleverness OF their perform
snces in singing and funmaking ad-
ditional to dancing, promise much
in the way CT a good entertainment.
Singing features the act OF Mstty-
lee Idppard who is an American
prima donna. Her voice. though ex
ceedingly well trained is not too
highly cultured to interfere with
her enunciation. The comedy songs
she offers can be clearly heard and
their best humor thoroughly appre-
ciated. Saxaphone playing also
comes under the heading OF Miss
Idppard's accomplishments and in
playing this instrument she well ri-l
walls the six Brown brothers. Ralph
Pollock will be at the plano in this
act also offering a bit of entertain

well done by the camera.
Most OF the action takes place on
the high sea. The very health bring

adventures. Its principals are men
and women of strength and char

The story casts for leading role
the character of Nels Nelson. a des-

This character so strong OF body
and mind is TO be enacted by Hobart
Rosworth whose previous screen
works speak well for his success in
this one.
Fragile little Bessie Love is the

In statement issued last night
Mr.. Stirling. vice-chairman of
the executive committee Of the
Homeopathic Hospital campaign ex-
plained the needs of the institution
its claim on public support and the
method of raising S250000. Mr.
Stirling emphasized the hospitals
long record of service and asked for
the support of the people in the In
tensive week beginning one week
from today. Mr.. Strings state
ment follows:
Before accepting the vice-chair
manship of the campaign l investi-
gated the history and needs Of the
institution. found. as is known
generally. that the hospital has an
excellent record of more than thiry-
four years of service to the people
of Wilmington and adjacent Della
ware. also found that the hospital
had pressing need of the money to
continue its good work on even a
greater scale.
81 was surprised to learn that
Wilmingtons total of beds in general
hospitals was only ESQ, or 251b to
every 10000 OF population. The
standard set by experts is a mini
mum of fifty beds for each 10000
Of population. The success of the
campaign will help materially 10 in
,rease the number of beds. The
building of a nurses home, one Of
the detectives of this campaign, will
release space in the hospital build
ing for the addition of at least
twenty beds
The building of a nurses home
will benefit the public. In addition
to releasing space for more beds for
patients. 1t will give the nurses bet
ter living conditions, which in turn
will be reflected in even better ser
vice to the patients.
The hospital must enlarge and
modernize its X-Ray equipment so
necessary in making accurate dag
noses. A great proportion of the
Homeopathic Hospitals work is sur
gerry. and for this the best XRay
apparatus is indispensable. A CEN
trail heating plant of modern type
must be installed, and many i'm
provements which will, increase the
efficiency of the hospital must be
provided.
More than thirty-four years of
service has won for the Homeopathic !
Hospital the friendship and respect |
of the people of Wilmington and |
Delaware. The service |
provided has covered every branch |
of general hospital work-medical, :
surgical. obstetrical, dental labor
atory and all other necessary,
branches The hospital has cared i
for 1880 patients, more than
half of whom were not pay patients.
