A turkey banquet for 800 children of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum followed by gifts marked the sixth annual Chanukah party given Saturday evening by Warner Brothers for the orphans.
Held at the Warner Memorial Gymnasium, 1560 Amsterdam avenue, the party was attended by one thousand persons including Harry M. Warner, president of the Warner pictures firm, his brother, Jack Warner, and members of the board of trustees of the orphanage.
A gala entertainment program was given. Professional talent was supplied by the Warners, and the children presented novelties of their own.
The Gymnasium was given to the asylum six years ago as a memorial to the late Sam Warner. It was launched with a Chanukah party, the success of which led the Warners to make the party an annual affair.
