LAURETTA TAYLOR

One of the most astounding state ments made by an actress within the memory of the present generation was recently made in Boston by Laurette Taylor to an interviewer from the Christian Science Monitor. Miss Taylor actually admitted that there were times during a perform ance when she tried to efface her self, feeling that there was a possi- bility that the audience might tire of her. Such an admission on the part of a star is something almost with out precedent. Miss Taylor is appear ing at the Hollis St, Theatre, Bos- ton, in Happiness
 ''I certainly won't pretend that never take breathing spells on the stage,' said Miss Taylor. ''The thing 10 remember is to rest within the character. At times in Happiness when Jenny isn't sustaining an inn portant part of the burden of carry ing on the story I give the audience a rest from my face. Actually play goers become fatigued just from looking at players who stand full front to the footlights without hay ing the slightest reason at that point in the story for filling up the audi ence's unwilling eye.
 I wouldn't be so unwon1anly as to pretend that am not glad the aud fence finds it intermittedIy agreea- ble to watch me full face, but ex- perience has warned me that it is well to keep people wishing to think oftener about my looks than to have them wishing to be allowed to think about something else. Appropriate hats and frocks so accenuate q woman's effectiveness OH -:*a stage as everywhere else, that almost in evitably an actress inclines to lean too much upon them. If she leans too heavily and too long the time comes when sine discovers that she no longer can act"

PARK.

.Auction of Souls" the sensational screen story of Aurora Mardiganian, the only survivor of half million young Armenian girls persecuted by the Turks when they ravished her country, and which is to be presented at the Park theatre starting today has its opening scenes laid in the forebodyfng shadows of Mt. Ararat. whiSh Is linked with some of the most ancient of human history. It was in the shadow of this picturesque peak that Aurora Mardiganian lived with her parents and a sister and brother all now dead, in 1915.
 Is Rlace Where Ark Went Aground
 Mt. Arsrat, which Is more than 16,- 900 feet high, was the mountain on which the Bible says the ark rested as the DeIuge dropped, and those In Noah's boz returned to ground. In latter days the Assyrians were amb1- tious to add 1t to their domains and 1t was the scene of many battles.
 In modern times it haS been the joining point of the lines of Persia. Turkey and Russian territory. Ere quently it has been the scene of earthquakes. and hundreds have been killed by such disturbances.
 The land lying in the region about Mt. Ararat is unusually fertile, and therein has been the source of the persecution oC the Armenians. Indus trious and inclined to accumulate. they have constantly been tormented, robbed and ravished by the indolent and unprincipled Turks.
 Prosecutions Greatest in 1915.
 This persecution reaches its height in the atrocities of 1915, which are pictured in Auction of Souls" Based on the story of Aura Mardiganian, this detailed portrayal of Turkish hear-lexSr ess follows closely the report of Viscount Bryce, the eminent En- giishman who was made head of the commission which was appointed among the Allies to investigate the Turkish treatment of the Armenians
 Every detail of how this little girls father, mother, sisters and brothers. with two million other Christian Ar menians. were made to suffer before they died, is shown in such a way as to make Americans feel the true character of the Turk, ever christi anity's scourge.
