The indications Of such work in
Petrograd, which are indefinite in form
are confused with the possible de-
signs of a horde Of criminal prisoners

political offenders. One definite in
stance has been recorded, however. A
motor car speeding along the streets
scattered proclamations calling on the
people to undertake wholesale mas
sacre of the intelligent classes.

On other occasions during the night
time similar cars have been running
about without lights Their occupants
are said to have fired on the militia.
The militia is thoroughly alive to the
danger of such counter manifestations,
and the commandant has issued strict
orders for vigilance.
Strange chalk-markings on the rear
doors of apartments throughout the
city are causing much uneasiness, and
In the absence of other explanations
they are being linked with the general
mass of rumors and reports of efforts
being made for counter revolution.
From Kharkov, Kiev and points along
the volga come reports of efforts on
the part of the old secret police to stir
up opposition to the new government.

I'm "The AmaxOns" Marguerite Clark

Amazons."
Dainty, demure Marguerite Clark in
bloomers and sweaters, valiantly
using boxing gloves, and knocking out
a girl about twice her size; Margue-
rite Clark in correct masculine even
ing. attire, knocking down a six-foot
bully of a man, and Marguerite Clark
standing on tip-toes on a crossbar of
a gymnasium kissing a young English
lord; these are a few of the new Mar
guerites one will be introduced to in
this production. The play itself comes
from the pen of Sir Arthur Pinero the
great English author and playwright
and it was in "The Amazons" that
Billie Burke made such. a wonderful
hit on the speaking stage. The story
has wonderful appeal to all ages.
The weakest imagination can see
screamingly funny possibilities in the
idea of a mother bringing up her
three daughters as IL they were sons,
Miss Clark plays the part of the one
girl who. really delights in the fact
that she is a boy and enacts the char

delight.
