WALTER HAMPDEN'S FAREWELL
PERFORMANCES OF "CYRANO"
AT FORD'S THEATRE,
BALTIMORE

With Walter Hampden coming to
Fords Theatre, Baltimore, in his fare
well performances of "Cyrano de
Bergerac", playgoers will have final
opportunity to see on of the most
highly praised performances in the
contemporary theatre. Four years
have passed since the actor manager
last presented this superb play-just
long enough to whet the appetites of
his admirers for another sight of him
in his most picturesque part. Cyrano
is without question Mr.. Hampden's
most popular role and many consider
it his greatest, without forgetting his
many mastery Shakespearen por-
trayals.
The Hampden engagement at Ford's
Theatre will be limited to four per-
formances, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings at o'clock sharp,
and Wednesday matinee at 2 o'clock
sharp. April 2O-21-22. Orders for seats
by mail will be carefully filled. Eve
ming prices are: Orchestra $500 with
a few rows at S275), balcony $1.65,
$1.10, gallery 55c. Matinee, entire or
chstra $2.20, balcony S1.65, $1.1O, gall
lery 55c. Tax included.
Certainly there Is no more fascinat-
ing figure in drama or history than
Edmond Rostand's great nosed Gascon
i.dVnturer duellist, philosopher, SOL
der lover, madman-with the pride of
Lucifer, the courage of a Crusader and
the tenderness of a woman. A gallant
hero he, with his hands without
gloves, shoes without buckles, pockets
without money, but with sword ever
ready to leap from it's scabbard in de-
Tense of that honor which he kept as
unsullied as the white plumes floating
gaily and defiantly above his head.
Mr.. Hampden brings on this his last
appearances in "Cyrano" a production
of undiminished splendor. His set
tings are duplicates of the massive
and beautiful ones designed for him
by Claude Bragdon when he presented
this masterpiece all season at the Ma
tional Theatre, New York, and his
company again includes seventy-five
players, many of whom were with him
in that production. This is a daring
thing to do in these uncertain times,
but the impersonator of Cyrano should
be as daring as Cyrano himself, and
Mr.. Hampden would not do so great an
injustice to the play, or to himself, as
to present. it in a way not consonant
with it's standing as one of the great
plays of all time.

CH1LDREN's AID SOCIETY
To the People of Cecil County;


There are certain facts regarding
the Children's Aid Society OF Cecil
County which l feel should be ex-
planned to the citizens Of the County.
Before 1928, homeless and depend
ent children, by direction OF the
court, were sent by the county COM
missioners to state institutions and
their care charged to the county, or
they were turned over to the Chill
drens Aid Society OF the state,
which was, and is, supported by
Maryland people who understand
and appreciate the great value of
its work.
In 1928 a Cecil County branch of
the society was formed, and since
then homeless and dependent chill
dren of this county have been placed
in adoption or free homes under
supervision of the society, or when
these could not be found, in board
ing homes within the county. Each
wear the town commissioners of Elk
ton also contribute $500. This, with
annual contributions from people OF
the county, has supported the work,
and for a time we maintained a full
time case worker in the county. Re
Gently this has been impossible, be-
cause of shortage of funds, and Miss
Marion A. Sibbet who does this
work, is now covering several neigh
boring counties as well. Her salary,
travelling and Office expenses ARE
BEING PAID FOR by the state So
ciety and all Cecil County funds now
go directly for the board, clothing
and medical care of these Cecil Coun-
ty children, and no. part OF these
funds are used for any overhead
expenses.
Certain sums of federal and state
money have been appropriated FOL
dependent children, but under the
federal act none of this money car
be spent except for poverty cases
where the children are located with
their own immediate families. None
of this money can be spent on the
care of any of the thirty-four chill
dren who are the wards of the Chill
dren's Aid Society.
We will finish our fiscal year il
June with deficit of 500, and
therefore must realize two thousanc
dollars from our campaign for funds
which starts April 21st, in order tt
carry on for another year. fee
very sure that knowing the facts the
people of Cecil County will not fai
these helpless little children.
WALLACE WILLIAMS,
President Cecil County Chill
dren's Aid Society.
