vices rendered the Sultan. Upon the un-
cle's death he left will bequeathrs to
his nephew all his money upon the con-
dition that he forsake America, adopt
the Afohammedan religion and becore a
fuIl.aedced Turk. These conditions are
very obnoxious to the young Armenian,
and while he is anxious to obtain the
money, absolutely refuses to carry out
the terms of the VIII. His efforts to Sc
cure control of the money, and still re-
main true to his own country, furnish
some very clever and funny situations.
Mr.. George Parsons, who was selected
by Mr.. Collier to play the leading part,
is a young and Sandstone actor, and his
work in the new play has been accorded
universal praise by the critics all over
the country. Mr.. Parsons has surround
