1HE standing army Of the
United States is the greatest In
the world. There are statisti-
tianA who will Indignantly deny this,
but this Is because they ride home In
automobiles at night and do not
know. how the other 40 80 Of us live.
!, Our standing army consists of up.
wards Of; 100000 people, Thanks
to American chivafry most OF these
are men. Some OF us stand only a
mile or 90 each day, while others
stand ten miles day. and have to
transfer three times in the bargain.
The discipline Of the American
standing army Is magnificent. This
10 becaSS' II is drilled regularly,
twiesA day. Every evening in every
American city, whole cars full of our
standing army can be seen obeying
commands. After a man has be.

commands: "Step lively" Move up
In front" "Take the next car" like

Many members of our standing
army are splendid athletes. Moth.
ing IL finer. for the muscles than
standing army drill. A veteran will
carry four bundles and a garden rake
under one arm. hang from a strap
with the other. and hold up two
large men on his feet for hours at

The American standing army is
very useful. 1t Is used to build cost.
ly mansions and provide titled sons
in-law and other trinkets for street
car magnates. When a magnate
wants new yacht or an old master,
he takes few ears of his line and
thus increases his standing army.
In New York as many as 200 men,
'bers of the army are often crowded
into q single car. This Is accom-.

''The Virgin of SIAM
bOul" Friday-Satur-
day at Opera House

Inc interest of local theatregoers
mas been aroused to an unusual ex-
tent by the announcement that "The
virgin of StambouP' will appear on
Friday and Saturday at the Augusta
Opera house. 1t is the Universal
Jewels latest master-feature and
peerless Priscilla Dean is the star,
with Ted Browning as director.
II mas been nearly year since
Priscilla Dean has flashed on a local
screen, and her return is every
where pronounced as a triumph.
The Virgin of Stamboul' was
written especially for Miss Dean by
II. ri. Van Loan, and the author has
endeavored to paint a picture of the
wickedest city in the world" Direc-
tor Browning has faithfully followed
his story and reproduced his word
painting in living. breathing scenes.
vast cities were built for the produc
ton, famous landmarks reproduced
with marvellous realism. the Great
Arabian Desert filmed for many
scenes in the story and thousands of
men, women and children used for at
mospheric effect.
The story is said to be rich in
dramatic quality arousing sympathy
and suspense, causing the spectators
to smile and weep, and with a wealth
of real, red blooded action to set the
pulses throbbing.
From the opening scene, showing
the ancient city OF STEAMBOAT as it ap-
pears today. and Miss Dean, as the
untamed desert girl who ekes out an
existence by dancing and begging in
the streets. plying her trade, to the
last fade-out showing Sari, her soul
cleansed and happy in her new found
love, the story is one succession of
dynamic situations, enacted for the
principal part by Wheeler Oakman as
the captain of the Black Horse Troop,
Wallace Berry as the sheik f. A.
Warren as the Hoja. Edward Burns
as the American tourist, Ethel
Richie as the favorite of the harem.
Eugene Forde as the mother, and
many other well known PLAYERS who
surround the fascinating Miss Dean.
