office.
Many Institutions would be content
to post the sign: ''Crowded-No Room
For New Patients" But relief for the
sick poor was the ideal on which the
JCRS sanatorium was built, and 1t IL
'till the slogan OF the society. So that
when the number OF applicants in
crcases, the institution must be en-
larged proportlonately.
The ways and means OF enlargement
will be one Of the main issues at the
April meeting. Reports OF the officers
OF the society will give undlsputable
evidence OF the humanitarian work ac-
complished and the vast amount still
waiting to be done.
A feature of the meeting will be the
address which Mr.. Godfrey Schirmer
OF Denver, Colorado, will make.
Though differing in race and religion
from the founders and present officers
Of the JCRS, the work which Is daily

man of Mr. Schrimer's character. His
kindly nature, love for his fellow men.
and deep sympathy for the sick and

use.
His interest In the JCRS was mani.

JACOB ADLER, NOTED
ACTOR, BURIED FRIDAY

New York, April ID. T. AZ
The death of Jacob p. Adler, veteran
actor on the Jewish stage, yesterday
was greatly mourned in the ranks of
Jewish actors, the public and the
press. The metropolitan newspapers
as well as the Yiddish press in New
York, devoted much space to de-
scription of his life and achieve,
ments.
Jacob P. Adler was born in Odessa
seventy-one years ago. He began his
career at the age of twenty, as a
member of the travelling troupe head
Ell by Abraham Goldfaden, the father
of the Yiddish theatre. When, by q
decree of the Russian Czarist gov
ernmcnt, the production of Yiddisf
plays was prohibited in 1888, Adler
started out on his journey to Ameri'
ica, playing for a while on the Yid
dish stage in London.
From 1886 until five years ago, Ad
Ter played in innumerable perform
nnces, particularly in the dramas o.
Jacob Gordin, "Silber," and the "Jew
ish King Lear" earning in the latter
his reputation as "King of the Yid
dish stage"
Five years ago, while playing a
the Pavilion Theatre in London, h
was taken sick. Since that time h
has not played, except occasional per
formances.
The funeral. which was arranged b.
the Jewish Actors Club, took place Fri
day.

But aside from the humanitarian
appeal in the campaign, there is
another which should not be lost sight
