PLAY AIDS HOSPITAL
"The Acts of Rahere" Raises Daily
Fund for Institution,

LONDON (N.A.NA).-The ancient
hospital of st. Bartholomew has found
q novel and attractive way of raising
some Of the money it so badly needs.
Every evening at s o'clock In the old
priory church that adjoins the hospital
Is being enacted a pageant play, 1.-THE
Acts of Rahere." which has been adapt
ed from a twelfth century manuscript
in the British Museum, written so years
after Rahere's death.
This Rahere, once court Jester to
Henry I, repented Of his gay and reck-
less life and resolved to make a Pilgrim
age to Rome. He fell i'll of a fever,
however, and in praying for his re-
covery vowed that he will build unto
the glory of God a hospital for all such
as need healing Of their diseases"
st. Bartholomew then appeared to
him and said hat he must build hos
pital and priory church beside Il
nearby London in q place called the
Smoothfield that is now barren, but
shall be made into a garden Of the
most high by the watering of thy peni-
tent tears"
This was the origin Of the now world
famous "Bart's" Hospital. Rahere be-
came its patron saint, and it is lifting
that the play should be acted in front
OF his tomb in st. Bartholomew
Church.

SOCIETY FOUNDED TO AID
POOR BRIDES OF GENEVA
Doner Who Contributes to Cause
Receives Framed Note
of Thanks,

GENEVA: IN. A. N. A.).-Here is the
great idea for the disposal of all those
excess coffee sets, cruets and lampshades
that you collect about you on the oc-
casion Of your wedding. You cannot
send them to your aunts and cousins
next Christmas, for the donors are sure
TO visit those aunts and cousins and
discover your perfldy. But you can
give them to DR.. Frida Imboden Of st.
Gall and he will send them far away,
presumably in a plain van, and devote
the proceeds Of their sale to a good
cause.
DR.. Frida Imboden has founded a
society TO aid poor brides. Swiss custom
demands that even the poorest bride
shall furnish the household linen and
provide her own trousseau, so DR.. I'M
boden has hit upon the idea of asking
the wealthy brides to come to the aid of
the less fortunate ones, contributing
either money. or their surplus presents.
The contributor receives a framed note
of thanks.
The brides who benefit by the society's
funds are required to furnish a medical
certificate stating that they are in good
health and in fit condition to marry.

Many have declared that on the streets

Frenchman, in a new book. "All is gay.

quickly worn out by It; you fall and
they carry you away, but the game goes
on"
Just try to rush on the streets Of the
East Side or on Broadway, Fifth Ave-
nue., Forty-second street, or in and
about the railway terminals, especially
in the so-called rush hours" You can't
rush. That's the exasperating thing
about it, If you have train to make
or an appointment to keep. The conges-
ton prevents it. Throngs move at a
snail's pace. For anybody brought up in
wider and more open spaces, walking in
Manhattan affords little opportunity for
exercise at the normal gait. Rushing by
taxicab is becoming a succession of
dashes and waits. Mr.. Morand says he
likes the metropolis.

modern attire of a sophisticated
woman of the world that Ethel
Barrymore plays in THE Love Duel. ="
AS Lydia, the "she" in THE Love
Duel" Miss Barrymore has a chance
to grace many a moment of the play
with smart comedy. She knows how
to toy and tease even a questionable
situation until it becomes rare
comedy instead of dirt.
This star knows how to jump in
single second from the gay, pointed,
wise and singing fun of a comedy
situation to the grey and cold at
mosphere of soul and physical
tragedy.
Her illegal mother does not offend
one as a violation of law but rather
inconvenient folly in the game OF
love. But behind the character OF
Lydia, Miss Barrymore gives her
that fine quality Of purpose and
understanding that attribute OF pro-
lection for ones young regardless
of the cause.
In other words, Miss Barrymore
makes Lydia the understanding
woman who fears not what society
will say but what her son will think
and experience when he learns that
he is different.
Miss Barrymore is still the great
actress, she of the very few on the
stage today who can put soul into
a character. And that is the finest
art of the stage.
