Oliver Twist was a poor orphan boy
whom Charles Dickens, the great nov
elist, immortalized.

boy and how he was abused in the
workhouse in which he was born and
where he passed his childhood and
about the life Of crime into which he
was forced by the Artful Dodger and
Fagin in the training school for
thieves?
But how relieved we are when, not
withstanding the villainy Of Fagin and
the rufianism of Bill Skies and the
Indebtedness Of his surroundings, the
little fellows way to deliverance Is
opened by the good soul Nancy, who.
as shining light. befriended and
rescued him from his evil environ
ment
The girl representing Oliver in the
picture is an Englishwoman who
appeared at production in London
during the Dickens centenary celebra-
ton.
