Aids Charity Drive
The city's emergency fund of Hartford, Conn., will be enriched by receipts of the Poli's Capitol Theatre. Special tickets for the Capitol Theatre were placed in circulation for the benefit of the emergency unemployment fund, at a meeting of the special committee on entertainment. Through the courtesy of J. F. Clancy, manager of the Capitol, $250 worth of seats was offered the committee, the proceeds of which are to be applied in emergency work at the city hospital. St. Francis hospital, or Old People's home. These tickets are "tax free" and good for any regular performance before May 31. A report was made that $127 was realized from the sale of tickets to the Palace Theatre in spite of the handicap of only a week's notice — a result which was felt to be gratifying. With the extension of time given at the Capitol Theatre it is anticipated that the entire amount will be disposed of.
