At the recent dedication of the Israel Orphanage Asylum, 271 East Second Street, Virginia Pearson was selected by popular vote to deliver an address to thousands of her admirers on the East Side. The applause which greeted her appearance again proved the popularity of this world-renowned dramatic artist who stands second to none. It gave thousands of men, women and little children not only the chance to see but to hear their beloved idol. Her unquestioned genius as a screen artist, her many charitable deeds of kindness, her lovable democratic American methods, have won for her a place in the hearts of the people which she amply deserves. Miss Pearson's speech on this occasion was one of fervor, pathos and humor. It was given with a charm and force of character which called forth the sincere approbation of Ambassador Gerard to whom America and the Allies owe so much. Nathan Straus, that benefactor of mankind and saviour of little children, also paid tribute to this gracious woman.
