careful list of needy children and
families in the District of Columbia
to whom contributions will be de.

none will be left heartbroken this
Christmas. All who possibly can are
urged to attend the matinees and to
bring with them new gifts and toys.

cannot attend in person send their
contributions to any of the theaters
listed
Great care has been taken by the
Warner Bros management in the
planning Of programs for these
matinees, and as they will include un-
usually fine pictures and supplement
tary attractions. it is believed that
they will be of great interest and en-
joyment to both children and adults.

the Christmas matinees on Decem-
Der Is. The hours at which the doors
of the theaters will open will be an
