year before, the poor children should
be thought of. After all. the chill
dren should not suffer because we
are in war. Every ones heart is
heavy, and especially among the
poor. At least we can help them
have a pleasant Christmas and /
do not think that the day when the
children bring gifts to movie mat

toy Ger ter set up by the Citizens
Christmas Committee After the
toys are sorted, they are sent on
their way to fill the empty stockings
of children whose parents cannot

Christmas for a child.
Plenty Of Opportunity.
So that every one can give toys at
any time, the lobby Of every Warner
Bros. theater is a branch office for
Santa Claus. New toys, mittens.
warm clothes, whatever you think
children might like to find on Christ
mas morning, can be taken to the
lobby of any Warner Bros. theater
at any hour theater is open.
For the first time this year, War
ner Bros. is taking into considera-
ton the very small children who
may never have gone to a theater
before. The smallest ones want to
help, too, but they can't understand
a full-length movie.
For them, and, of course, for all
the others who would rather watch
Donald Duck and Popeye the Sailor
than anything else, two theaters
have been set aside where Short
