appear in new play that Mr.. Tully
has almost finished for the use of his
star.
One of the most popular features of
Omar, the Tentmaker," is the poetic
atmosphere that pervades the play.
The audience is transported bodily out
into the long ago.
The play is an exceptional one, es-
pecially to lovers of old Omar. who
know him best as lover of wine.

joy has come in the finding of a
daughter whom he did not know lived,

humor.
Mr.. Post is ideally suited to the re-

Much praise lie also won by the mem

of whom render valuable assistance in
the unfolding of Mr.. Tully's intricate

the Russians against the center
The campaign began toward the end
of summer. During autumn three
Turkish divisions were thrown back
at Olti and along the seacoast. while
i'll the district OF Lake Van Il division
under Halil Ecy was defeated. The
operations towards Crumiah ended
