TURK, 1853

NEW YORK, June 27.--That
terrible old Turk-he says he's
1853, which is certainly terribly
old-is sailing for New York to-
day. His name is FARO Agha, and
he was born on May "a, 1772,
three years before the Battle Of
Lexington.
His American manager says the
old boy is going to collect some
fancy fees on his American tour.
1t will all be very dignified and
very much in the interests of
science. FARO, as the twentieth
century Methuselah, will appear
before medical and scientific So
cieties in a series of sort of lee
ture tests to permit our Savants
to find out how to live so long
and whether it Is worth it.
Leaving his eleventh wife in
Istanbul, Turkey tshe is rs and
too old to traveD, Zara Agha will
set forth on the steamship Eimala
in the company Of Asim Ridvan,
wealthy Turkish trader Of Istan-
bul, and patron of the old fellow,
an interpreter and a composite
bodyguard and trainer. He will
arrive here about IL days later
and spend a fortnight in New
York.

BILLIE DOVES ACTING
IMPROVED IN NEW PICTURE

zone Night at Susie's" gives Billie
Dove the kind of role she should
have had long ago. In the past Miss
Dove has been starred too much,
with little or nothing to do. In
this picture she is not cast in the
biggest role, but as chorus girl
who is honestly in love, she has
something to do, and she does it.
The fat role is portrayed By Helen
Ware, who comes to the movies
from the stage As a hardboiled
character known as Susie. who
knows all the crooks Of gangland
and how to handle them, she gives
a convincing piece of acting of a
woman who trys to protect an
adopted son from the underworld
ways his father had pursued.
Douglas Fairbanks Jr. does very
good as the boy, who, though going
straight, takes the chorus girls rap,
after shooting.
The story is interesting enough
and moves along nicely, but it seems
rather odd and inconsistent that
girl would commit murder to pro-
tect her honor, and then turn
around and sell that honor under
the name of sacrifice, just to get a
play produced so as not to disap-
point the boy who went to prison
for her, and who wrote the play
while there.
This picture comesA under the
head of just pleasing entertain
ment.
