of the people over the age of so
is not self-supporting. The pur-
pose of the Welfare Home is to
care for those residents of the
State of Delaware who have no
adequate means of support, who
are physically unable to work or
who are unable to obtain employ
ment. There are no age limits
for eligibility. AS its name i'm
plies, the Welfare Home is pri-
marily a home for those who have
no homes elsewhere. Although we
have a very complete hospital
unit, we do not desire nor intend
to compete with the general hos
pitals throughout the State. Our
hospital patients will be those
with chronic conditions who need
prolonged hospital care and who
because of the very chonicity of
their conditions cannot be cared
for in the general hospitals. If
these patients can receive care at
home or as private patients in
hospitals they will not be accept
ed by us. But there is in this
State a number of INDECENT people
suffering from chronic physical
conditions which need prolonged
disqualification We have accept
ed for admission a group of these.
They include cases of paralysis,
cancer, arthritis, epilepsy. etc. 1t
is necessary for US to accept cases
of epilepsy as at the present time,
there is no institution in the State
which will accept cases Of epilepsy
unaccompanied by either mental
deficiency or psychosis. Among
our prospective guests there are
various degrees of both blindness
and deafness. Our hospital unit
is equipped with a delivery-room
so that when necessary, we can do
obstetrical work. Here again, we
have no intention Of competing
with the general hospitals. How
ever, it sometimes happens that a
prospective mother is without
adequate means Of support. If she
is married, or colored, or has al
ready had one illegitimate child
she is ineligible for admission to
the Florence Crittendon Home
the only institution in the State
which gives prolonged prenatal
care. We feel that we must care
for these INDECENT mothers who
are ineligible for admission to the
Crittendon Home. Although we
have no age limits, in most cases
we feel that children should not
be admitted to the Home unless
they are suffering from some
chronic physical condition. At the
present time we are not equipped
to provide an environment which
even approaches the ideal for chill
dren who are physically and ment-
ally normal.

ChiIdrens' Play
February II

The fourth play of the Chill
dren's Theater series, which has
been attracting young Washing
tonians and their parents to the
National Theater on Saturday
mornings, will be "Rebecca OF
Sunnybrook Farm" scheduled for
February II.
Kate Douglas Virgins little
heroine, Rebecca RoWena Randall,
has been loved by three genera
tions of children. Not since 1910,
however, has she appeared upon
the professional stage.
That season the authors own
dramatization of her story ran
full season to crowded houses
on Broadway, after another sue
ceSsful season on tour. Littera-
teurs of % years ago, like Thomas
Bailey Aldrich, called Rebecca
"the incest child in American
literature"
That observation still holds
true for modern tastes, chiefly
because Rebecca is not too nice;
because she gets into trouble only
too often, and her story could
never be accused Gas Louisa M,
Alcott once accused her own
work) of being moral pap for
the young"

they saw the finish of this pic
ture arrive with moist eyes. One
scene alone will tear your heart
out with it's poignancy and it is
so beautifully acted by Irene
Dunno I am moved to make a
prediction: Irene Dunno in THE
Secret of Madame Blanche" will
be a formidable contender when
the Academy awards the 1928
prize for the best acting.
In the latest Dunno picture the
star progresses from a girl of
the leg-o-mutton sleeve days of the
COS to the World War period.
She is expert at making these
makeup changes and truly mag
nificent in the way she ages to
fit the character.
Another surprise in this pic
ture is the acting Of a new juve-
nile, Douglas Walton. He is so
good that he completely out
classes the somber-visaged Phil
lip Holmes who is featured in
another one of his moody roles.
Secret of Madame Blanche" will
be an early release at Loew's
Palace.

Those Big Salaries

It makes you think that Holly
wood is a trifle cock-eyed and
has lost it's sense of values when
you read in one paragraph about
big producing companies being
in financial difficulties and in
the next that they are thinking
of paving a ham comedian $780,
900 to make a picture. For a
good many years he has been a
second grade comic and because
for a few weeks he suddenly
makes a hit on the radio-due
principally to his gag man
Hollywood goes slightly cuckoo
and wants to pay him more than
the President of the United
States. They never learn.
Not so many years ago Para
mount took a musical comedy
baritone and paid him $500 a
week to make a picture. 1t took
10 weeks to produce, and so it's
easy to figure his bank account
was swelled $4,000. The point is
that the Hollywood SWelled his
head so that it has never come
down to normal. His picture was
one of Paramount'S costly failures
He developed the worst case OF
high hat California ever encoun
tered, and was impossible to gel

Julia Wears Well

Which reminds me as write
this, Julia SanderSon has just fin
iShed her Tuesday evening song
interlude for N.B.C. Here is an
instance of a musical comedy
star being the beneficiary of fresh
popularity and sustained appeal
chiefly due to radio.
Julia SanderSon was stage
star when the Messrs. Shubert
and Erlanger were waging their
bitter fight for control of the
American theater. That was in
1906 and Miss Sanderson was big
enough to have her name in
lights and worth fighting for as
an attraction. The Shuberts got
her.
1t seems a little indelicate to
be dating a stars career-and
particularly a woman star-but
since Irving Cobb last night re-
vived memory of the days when
she sang with Joe CaWthorn it
seems that Miss Julia is not
sensitive about it.

They Like Eddie

Eddie Cantor in kid From
Spain" is the first picture to win
a hold-over at LoeW'S Palace in
1888. In it's first week on F
Street the round-eyed COMICS
latest feature will gross more
than the combined first weeks
of "Whoopee" and "Palmy Days"
his earlier United Artists movies.
How much of kid From
Spain's" box office pulling power
can be traced to Eddie Cantor's
popularity as a radio star is a
question that awaits the right
answer. Cantor credits the air
waves with so per cent of his
popularity in the movie houses
but Producer Sam Goldwyn, of
Hollywood, will probably dispute
that. The Goldwyn argument
is that Kid From Spain" is a
good picture and good pictures
made good money long before
radio sets became an apartment
nuisance.

along in later stage engagement.
At present he is no demand on
Broadway because of his crabby
temperament, flopped on the
radio, and recently decided to go
into a Laurel and Hardy short to
relieve the depression. On Broad
way and at the Lambs Club the
plight of a conceited warbler fill
ing in for dumb comics excites
laughs instead of pity.
Oh, well, maybe I'm the victim
Of press agent propaganda. For
Hollywood trade journal just come
to hand points out that 81 per
cent of the Hollywood salaries are
less than 500 a week, and that
of that 81 per cent IS per cent
get less than $50 per week. 1t
seems the industry just goes a
little nutty every time an over
night hit is made by some lucky
entertainer. A good remedy for it
would be to look over the head
liners who have flopped in pic
lures and see what they represent
in the red ledger.
The Theater Guilds production
of "The Good Earth" will close
it's season in st. Paul on Satur-
day night. Such a short run for
the Owen Davis dramatization of
Pearl S. Bucks Pulitzer prize
novel entitled it to be listed with
1928 major play casualties.
THE Good Earth" was never
able to survive an Indifferent re-
ception on Broadway. Theater
sharps agree that had the
Chinese play been booked out
side of New York first, it might
have achieved a greater measure
of success. The reception of this
best seller has caused the Theater
Guild to do some heavy thinking
about bookings and particularly
on the wisdom of opening on
Broadway with plays that are
vulnerable when submitted to
critical scanning.
Metro GoldWyn-Mayer will make
"The Good Earth" on an impos-
ing scale. It appears to have all
the essentials for a sensational
motion picture.
