Coler, Commissioner of Public Welfare of New York City, 1290 orphans will see a selected program this morning at the Audobon. The performance is sponsored by the New York .State Ltague of Women Voters. Mrs. George A. Skinner is in active charge. She plans to give similar performances in other cities in the near future. This performance is the materialization of "Orphans Day," which was announced several weeks ago as a very elaborate affair. At that time the co-operation was announced of the Hays organization, the M. P. T. C, the T. O. C. C, and the leading theaters of New York City, Albany and Buffalo. But the plans proved to be too elaborate to be practical, especially as it developed that many orphanages have their own motion picture shows, and the heads of these institutions felt that this covered the need for entertainment. ;e (^^^turrual (Rctu^ THE SPICE OF THE PROGR ' M Golfers, Attention !
