the sharp pointed blades rose out Of
the sand as high as would be a very
small child. When we saw these pre-
parations all of us knew what was 60
ing to happen.
Already was trembling with sick
ness OF heart because of the awful
night before and the things | had
seen that morning when daylight
came. The other girls beside me were
trembling, too. and felt as IL they
would rather die than see any more.
We begged our captors to take US
away-to take us where we could not
look upon these sword blades-but
they only laughed at US and told
US we must watch and be thankful
to them that we were under their
protection.
when the long row of swords had
been placed the Tchetchens hurried
back to the little band of Armenians.
We saw them crowd among the refu-
gees, and then come away carrying
or dragging with them all the young
women who were left-maybe fifteen
or twenty-I could not count them.
Each girl was forced to stand
with a dismounted Tchetchen hold
ing her on. her feet, half way be-
tween two swords in the long row.
The captives cried and begged but
the cruel bandits were needless of
their pleadinss.
When the girls had been placed
to please them-one ;betweenseach two
sword blades-the remaining Tchet-
chens mounted their horses and gath
cred at the end of the row. At a
shouted signal the first one gallop-
ed down the line of swords. He seiz-
ed a girl. lifted her high in the air
and flung her down upon sword
point without slackening the sspeed
of his horse"

The Accomplished Cynthia

The character of Cynthia Brock
in "Other Mems Wives" the latest
Paramount-Ince photoplay starring
Dorothy Dalton. which will be
shown at Loew's Palace today. is
typical of many American girls OF
wealth who are suddenly bereft OF
their fortunes, according to Miss
Dalton in a recent interview.
Cynthia has been reared to be
an ornament" said Miss Dalton in
commenting upon her new char
acterization, "and she knows of no
way to support herself when bereft
of her means. Circumstances may
have forced many such girls into
the situation of Cynthia. She was
compelled to agree to do something
against which she naturally revolt
ed. but from which could not es-
cape.

MOORE STANDS "PAT.P

An amusing story is going the
rounds involving Mabel Ballin and
Tom Moore. The actor had been be-
moaning the loss of his police dog
when Mabel Baliin telephoned in
great excitement to announce that
she had found Pat" downtown, limp
ing on a wounded paw.
OF course, Moore was elated to
know that his search need not be
continued. and asked. as great
favor. if the actress would take the
dog to a veterinary and have his
wound treated. The doctor did-for
SO. Then Miss Ballin bore him in
triumph to the Moore Villa at Venice
and was met by Alice. the 4-year-old
daughter of the Goldwyn star who
screamed that the invalid canine
couldn't be Pat because that
worthy had just wandered in for sup
per. Now the question is. who should
really pay for the mistake?

stimulated The war has produced
this stimulation. Thousands or mil
lions of people for the first time in
their lives have escaped routine and
delved into romance and tragedy.
They must tell of il. And the stage
is one of the natural outlets. Their
efforts may be crude. but to them has
come incidents that form the basis
of real drama. Proper presentation
will eliminate the crudities.
Theater Evils.
Mr. Belasco also spoke of the evil
of theatrical business that makes 1t
so hard for an actor to be heard.
There is a dearth of actors he
says. mot so much because there
are fewer good actors, but because
the whole system of engaging is a
shame. Yet il is almost impossible
for a manager to try out everyone
who comes to him: oftentimes he
cannot even see them and IL he does
the very actor whom he is looking
for may be turned away because of
not being impressive in the Office"
Mr.. Belasco favors and he may
try out the system now being used
by big league baseball teams-the
system of scouts. When a baseball
player can no longer play ball be-
cause of physical reasons there are
but two things left to him If he is
to stay in the game. Become an
umpire or become a scout. His
| knowledge of the game makes him
| invaluable in this latter occupa-
tion. He travels all over the coun-
try looking over minor leagues. the
colleges and the sand lots. There
he sees the material that will de-
velop into big league caliber. The
proper tryout is but a detail.
The same thing can be done in
the theatrical game. Some one who
knows acting can make the rounds
of the stock companies. make a note
of the promising players and fix il
so that they will receive their try.

Mr.. Belasco has blazed many q

is safe to assume that IL he adopts
this method regarding new player:

The fascination of photoplay pro-
