Appeal on behalf of the Theatrical Ladies' Guild of Charity, by Dame MAY WHITTY
THE theatre is notoriously a precarious profession, and even actors and actresses of real ability may find themselves stranded at times. The Theatrical Ladies' Guild comes to the rescue of artists, stage-hands and theatre staffs when they find themselves in such a position. In cases of absolute destitution it provides food, fuel, clothes and blankets, and one particularly useful branch of its work is the provision of stage dresses which give their recipients a better chanco in applying for parts.
Dame May Whitty, who is in the front rank of British actresses, has lately deserted the legitimate stage to make an incursion into ' comedy with music,' and she is now playing with her husband, Mr. Ben Webster , in Sylvia at the Vaudeville.
