MANY BEAUTIFUL TYPES
OF WOMEN IN "EXPERIENCE"

There are many beautiful types OF
fascinating girlhood in George V. Ho-
bart's modern morality play. "Expe-
rience." Mr.. Hobart spent two years
in writing the play. but an even
greater task confronted the producers
selecting the various types of g.rls
for the play As Mr.. Hobart has
chosen in Experience" to have the
various vices and virtues which Youth
meets when he goes out into the world
in search OF fame and fortune i'm
personated by charming young ladies,
and in order that Just the right types
might be selected, a committee OF
artists was asked 10 assist in choosing
the young ladies for the various roles
in Experience"
For the character of Love. hum
dreds OF girls were considered before
an ideal type was found Then there
was much difficulty in selecting one
to play Frivolity. This is a particu-
larly difficult part and requires a
young girl who has a certain manner
of reckless abandon. Then there was
another tireless search to find the
young lady for the character of Elk
element, for she must be restless,
alluring and even dangerous. Just

GERMANS
VlVIOLY DESCRIBED

Denver, Col. Jan. Histories Of
of Jerusalem previous to the
capture OF the Holy City by British
forces under General Allenby were
told here by Miss Celia Meinestea,
who, with her mother, fed from the
torture inflicted by Turkish soldiers
and German officers there several
months ago.
Miss Monestea and her mother
were among the 800 refugees who es-
capped from Jerusalem while thou
sands were starving within the gates
of the ancient city
There was agonizing suffering
among the civil population ot Jerusa-
lem after the Germans TOOK control
OF that city" said the youthful Tetu-
gee. Hundreds died of starvation
when food. imported for the inhabi-
tants OF the stricken city, YVES relied
by military authorities and diverted
to the soldiers. Our friends fell dead
about us like feas. Scores of young
girls sold their souls to the German
soldiers In return for food"
1t took five months for Miss Moines-
tea and her. mother to reacn Denver
after leaving Jerusalem.
We witnessed the most heartrend-
ing scenes while travelling through
Austria" the girl declared. where
roads were filed with crippias and
food was SO scarce that the peasants
refused to sell even small portions al
fabulous prices offered by the trav.
elers."
