THIRST CRAZED GIRLS

The thousands of Armenians de-
ported by the Turks in the time Of
the Armenian atrocities perpctrated
in 1915, which are shown in auction
of Souls" now showing at the Vic
toria Theater. were walked many
miles across the deserts without wa
ter. Their lips parched, their
tongues cleaving to the roofs of
their mouths, they are seen at last ap-
preaching a well.
No longer afraid of the swords or
bayonets of the Turks, they make a
mad rush for the water. The widest
of Bolshevist disorders are no more
insane than the charge of these wo-
men who actually suffer bloodshed to
gain a drink.
All cannot get water to fill their
mouths. so they crouch upon the
ground, touching to their hot lips
the drops wrung from the garment
of those who have been pushed into
the water by the rush.

MONEY OR Lover

The answer to this question is
most dramatically shown in the lat
est production, "a Modern Shylock,"
which the actor-evangelist. Mr.. Rob-
ert Downing, will present under the
management of Mr.. Arthur c. Aston,
at the Orpheum for three days. start
ing tonight with matinees Wednes-
day and Thursday.
This comedy drama was written by
one of the most distinguished, and
one of the most successful authors
of England. Its production in Lon
don was an immediate success.
AS Robert Golden" The Modern
Shylock," Mr.. Downing has a part
that is entirely different from any
thing he has ever given during his
long and successful career on the
stage. The play is intensely inter-
esting, from start to finish. 1t Is full
of dramatic situation and climaXes,
while the vein of comedy that runs
through 1t, and the delightful love
story that is developed. makes it a
play that one can witness and feel
refreshed.
