RESCUES ARMENIAN GIRL
Topekan Brings Victim OF Turk
Savagery to Relatives in U. S.


How a beautiful Armenian girl
escaped from a Turkish harem and
was brought to New York and turned
over to her brother, a wealthy rug
merchant of Minneapolis, and how a
Topekan assisted in the climax of the
series of romantic adventures, is the
tale brought yesterday to Mrs. George
H. Mays. who is visiting in the home
of DIR. c. H. Morrison, 1918 Garfield
street. The TOpekan mentioned in the
story is Marshall ingalls, Mays, son of
Mrs. Mays, who has IL message from
her son, saying that he will visit her
soon.
The Armenian beauty is Vartanouch
aragheusian. She is 20 years old.
She is now broken in health and all
the gayest entertainments provided for
her in New York have so far failed to
bring even a smile to her wan face
When she met her brother she broke
into hysterical fit of weeping Dur

has continued in her pathetic endeavor
to conceal the red tattoo mark on her

country in 1855 by the Turks to

all her relatives were driven from her
home in July, 1915. and from then I'M
til late in October they were kept on
the road by the brutal Turks, their
only food being vegetables found by
the wayside. One by one members of
the party dropped exhausted and soon
she was the only survivor.
| With the help of friend she
found work in a Turkish hospital at

for the wounded. When the British

Phoenix girl, who already has become a favorite with the Phoenix play going public.
 Bobby Dean, who has appeared with the Redmond Stock company in Phoe- nix for several seasons previous to this, handled the lead in way that brought a riot of laughter from the audience at her every appearance on the stage. Miss Dean is very versatile and plays her every part with a skill and cleverness that has made her a real favorite. As Rosie from Sioux City she scored a decided hit in "The Follies."
 Ed Redmond. as a detective, added the spice of mystery that every we'll conducted show should have. And with the other members of the cast taking the various parts, the entire performance was one that proved to be one of the most popular of the season.
 A special feature of the production is the splendid singing by Eddie Young, who presents popular songs in a way that thoroughly pleases the au- dience.
