Description: Film star Mary Pickford adding her signature to the door of the Mary Pickford War Funds bungalow. The bungalow, valued at $15,000, was built at 90 Glenwood Crescent in East York Township. One dollar tickets were sold throughout Toronto, with the house as the main prize, in order to raise funds for the following war charities: the Lions British Child War Victims' Fund, the Evening Telegram British War Victims' Fund and the Malta Relief Fund Society of Toronto. Pickford was born in Toronto and helped develop plans for the project. She contributed the funds from the sale of her Toronto property to finance the construction of the bungalow. The home was furnished with large and small appliances by the Canadian General Electric Company.
