{ the money which Is being SO gen. erously contributed will be used by the American Friends (Quakers) solely to feed, clothe and aid chil- dren in Spain, on both sides - those pitiful innocents of a conflict ID which they had no part.
 R For Relief Only
 k Miss White emphasized that all bf the money contributed by the public goes directly to relief. The expense of the Waterbury appeal has been privately contributed, and at is the policy of the Friends |(Quakers) in Relief work to raise their own overhead and call upon khe public only for the direct reliei funds. In this way persons who E.contribute can be certain that a!l of the money they give will go d. rectly toward the alleviation of the suffering of the children In Spain
 The manner in which the funds are used in Spain Is most interesting The Friends have @ representative Tn Haoyalist Spain and one in National. last Spain who direct the money ana supplies to the places where most urgently needed. Wherever possible exciting organizations are used TOT the actual relief work in order to phviate an extensive overhead.
 For instance, in the Nationalist Territory the spanish Red Gross $ used. The money and clothing sup- piled by the Quakers to the spanish 1ted Gross are kept strictly separ. ated from all other activities, and are used only for children and women connected with children needing help.
 Tn the Loyal!St territory aid IS given through the organization Set up by the Friends Service Council of London, England, as well as al- leectly.

the stage as Helen Hayes and
George M. Conan.
Yet, the star system was here all
the time, and Hollywood was hav-
ing a quiet grin at Theater Guild
stupidity which failed to open the
doors and take it in off the door
step.
Indeed I am happy to note Miss
Helburn's complete conversion.
She says:
Names have become all-im-
portant on the road. Except with
q very inexpensive cast, a play
will not make money on tour
without a star, and preferably
a picture star. The number Of
legitimate actors today who have
really important box office
draw can be counted almost on
the fingers Of one hand"
Names, my dear Miss Helburn,
were ever important in the the
alter. They were transcendent In
the era of Edwin Booth, Mary An
derson, Sarah Bernhard, John
Drew, Maude Adams, Nat Good
win, Billie Burke, Lillian Russell,
William Faversham and Ethel
Barrymore, to mention just q
few.
INTERESTING ESSAY
About plays not making money
ON the road without stars: I wish
1 could have the accumulated
dividends which confront the next
season tours Of 1.-The Women"
"You Can't Take It With You"
and Room Service" to name
Just three current Broadway hits.
And you can't find a star in the
three combined acting companies.
I imagine that Katharine Hep
burns tour in Jane Eyre" had a
great deal to do with changing
Miss Helburn's point Of view.
For this glamorouS Hollywood
lady made some very tidy profits
for the Theater Guild last season,
in what not even the kindest
critics could honestly say was
more than a poor play but a salts
factory vehicle.
Oh, well, I really enjoyed a half
hour with Miss Helburn'S North
American Review essay, and I
thank that magazine for forward
ing it for inspection. I think I
recognize a sly confession Of a
Theater Guild billing sin, and I
believe in that old adage: open
confession is good for the soul"
