THE THIEF" AT MAJESTIC
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY "a

Henri Bernstein has written many
good plays. Amongst them all THE
Thief stands pre-eminent. 1t is his
supreme success. The plot may be
told in few words.
The heroine, a young woman of
weak character, but with an infinite
capacity for love, has centered her
affections upon a man of social po-
sition. Without beauty or wealth she
has no means of attracting his at
tention, and so, in order to make
herself desirable in his eyes, she
steals large sums of money from her
friends, with which she buys beautiful
clothes.
Her pecuations are discovered and
attributed to a young man who know
ing the truth, remains silent to shield
her. That very love, however, which
at first led her astray, has ennobled
and strengthened her character, and
in the wonderfully dramatic climax
she cCnfesses her guilt.
The Thief was staged at tn
William Fox studios under the drec.
tion of Edgar Lewis. Some concep .
ton of the elaborateness of the
production may be gained from the
fact that the gowns worn by the
star are valued at more than $4,000.
and were selected from the products
London and Paris. The gowns them
selves are a special treat.

ter" the great American drama. will

steamer Themistocles which arrived
here Friday from ports in Greece
were twenty Jews. in charge
of Rabbi Bernard Levin, formerly OF
Chicago, who said they Were driven
from Palestine by the TURKISH troops
The party was among the eight hun
dred refugees taken from Jaffa to
Alexandria, Egypt, by the United
States cruiser Tennessee.
Rabbi Levin said all his party went
from the United States to Palestine
from seven to eleven years ago in
connection with the Zionist move
ment. He himself had been in Pal
estine eleven years. Members OF
the party were unanimous in as
serting that not only had the Jews
in Palestine been badly treated by
the Turkish soldiers. but all Chris
tian foreigners received similar
treatment.
Before, during and after the mo-
bilization of the troops, the majority
of Rabbi Levin's party were set to
work making uniforms and shoes for
the soldiers, they said, and were
told that they would receive pay
for their labor some time in the
future"
According to information made
public Friday by the Federation of
American Zionists, the Turkish gov
ernment has repudiated "unfriendly
acts committed against individual
Zionists, by local officials and has
instituted an investigation with a
view to the prevention of a repeti-
ton of the occurrences"
