The actor is charitable to a degree which surpasses GRAND OPERA HOUSE BUILDING the charity of the man in any other walk of life and this statement, sweeping as it may seem, can not be reasonably disputed.

He isn’t asked to contribute cash but he is asked for his services—an asset which he has every reason to hold as valu¬ able as coin of the realm. And the response which these sometimes Last advertising forms close Wednesday at despised people of the stage is wont to make to these demands upon midnight their time and vitality is proof conclusive that the actor, more than the SUBSCRIPTIONS man in any other walk of life, is charitable—that the actor constantly (Payable in advance.)
