Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
This Fund was founded in 191 the Coronation year of King George V, who graciously consented to become Patron of the Fund. A Committee was formed and among its foundation members were Sir Herbert Tree, Sir George Alexander, Sir Squire Bancroft, Sir Charles Wyndham, and Sir John Hare.
The objects of the Fund are to grant pensions to British actors and actresses who have rendered such service to the theatre as to merit recognition and who through altered circumstances require assistance.

8-1 Reception at Auteuil'
Produced by Peter Watts
Edmond Dantes , now possessed of fabulous wealth, has come to Paris to revenge himself on Danglars, de Villefort, and Mondego, the three men who had him falsely imprisoned for fourteen years.
His long inquiries have disclosed that years ago de Villefort had a child by the woman who is now married to Danglars, though both parents now believe the child to be dead. The Corsican, Bertuccio, who revealed this sordid story to Edmond and is now his steward, rescued the almost lifeless child and brought him up. Edmond proposes to use this youth Benedetto as an instrument of his revenge; he has brought him to Paris and dressed him as a rich Italian.
For the undoing of Mondego, now a General and a Peer of France, Edmond has traced a young Greek girl who knows of the treachery on which de Morcerf's fortune was founded.
He has also found, in de Villefort's wife, an unhealthy interest in poisons, which he hopes to turn to his own uses.
