Advance distribution of tickets for the charity ball and entertainment sponsored by the Infants Home of Brooklyn, 1358 56th Street, forshadows its outstanding success, reports the committee headed by Supreme Cour Justice Mitchell May and Redister Aaron L. Jacoby, honorary chairmen:
Harry Hershfield, cartoonist, will be master of ceremonies at the affair. It is scheduled March 4 at the St. George Hotel, Brooklyn. Music will be provided by a number of well known bands. Many celebrities will entertain.
The Infants Home is the sole institution in the borough caring for destitute orphans free of charge from their birth until they are six. One of the most serious crises in its fourteen years of existence now faces the Home, it is said. Unless $20,000 is raised before April 1, the doors of the newly-erected Home may have to be closed.
