Discontinued a quarter of a century ago, the charity ball of the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphar Asylum will be revived this year, it was announced by County Judge Algeron I. Nova, president of the orphanage.

The ball will be held April 6 at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Judge Nova said it was hoped to raise $50,000 as a result of the affair, which took place regularly from 1879 to 1910 and was them permitted to lapse. Jesse Baar, a member of the board of directors of the asylum, has been appointed chairman of a special committee of arrangements.
