BREED THEATRE.
Ethel Barrymore Has Greatest Role oi
 Her Career as Screen Star.

In '@The Awakening of Helena Richie," which will be seen at the Breed theatre today and Thursday Ethel Barrymore has the greatest play of her career as motion picture star. The role of Helena Richie in this pow erful screen version of Margaret De- lands novel, is admirably adapted to the talents of Miss Barrymore.
 The acting calls for Interpreting the disposition of a beautiful woman of wealth who has experienced deep tragedy as a wife. yet does not com prehend the real responsibilities of life until bitter experience has driven the lesson home to her. Then she is called upon to decide between the man she loves and the child she has adopt ed.
 Here is where she experiences her awakening" She finds that the man is unworthy of her love-and that realization comes only after she has decided to cling to the child. The sit- uatiOn is an unusually powerful one, and only an actress of Miss Barry more's ability could successfully DOT tray it on the screen
 Other pictures on the bill include the Burton Holmes travel series and 3 very funny Christie comedy.

The following summer, however. he began his first serious violin study with Max Bendix, under whose tutorage he re- maiI1<d while further pursuing his academic studies in the Mackenzie school at Dobbs Ferry. In February, 1908, White went to Brussels, where he continued his violin study under Cesar Thompson until May. Returning to America, he was graduated from school and passed his college entrance examinations for Princeton. It was at this point that he decided upon a musical career in preference to further academic work.

and in July, 1915, 5000 Armenians, the
most prominent men in our city. with
their wives and families, were driven
out into the deserts.
Mothers cut the long hair Of theil
daughters so they would not appear
attractive to the Turks. I saw my
mother cut the long blond hair OF
my sitter, but they could not take out
her beautiful eyes.
Sister Taken Away.
I'VE were driven to Malatia. There
one midnight the Turks took $40 Ar.
menian men to the nearby mountains
and killed them with axes and knives
One OF the Turkish soldiers laughed
and told me they did not use guns
because cartridges cost four cents
each
That same night an officer took
my sister away. Over 200 women and
children and girls were dealt with that
night. Their money. goods and clothes
were taken. Our Armenian women
could not bear to live without clothes
and threw themselves into the river.
"I found my way through the eau
casus to the Russian army. There
I found Armenians who had escaped
were starving and could not find a
blade OF grass to eat
They buried Armenian children
alive in Turkey"
There are many facts to prove that
the unspeakable Turk has surpassed
under Prussian tutelage even his own
historic fiendishness.
Tho story of this war contains nc
more terrible chapter-history will
never record more concentrated brut-
ishness.
