inee and night. "Maytime" is the work
of Rlda Johnson Young, one of Amer

She is responsible for many successes
but none of Mrs. Young's former hits,
however, approach the record for pop
ularity with all classes of theater
goers established by "Maytime,"
which in New York alone was seen
by over half a million, during its run
there that lasted over a year. The
musical score with which the story of
"Maytime" is embellished was pro
vided by Sigmund Romberg, composer
of many of the songs made popular
in these elaborate Winter Garden
spectacles. The hauntingly pretty i
•"Will You Remember" song which re
curs throughout the play, has made
the fame of "Maytime" across the
continent because of the large circu
lation it has had in phonograph rec
ords and piano copies. "Maytime."

"THE WESTERNERS"
Without a doubt the greatest story of the West ever told—"The Westerners" has
everything that its title indicates—punch and pathos, action and atmosphere. This book
is one of the best sellers ever published.
SATURDAY EVENING.
CHRISTIAN WOMEN SOLD INTO TURKISH HAREMS AS LOW AS 85 CENTS EACH
—ONLY ONE OUT OF 500,000 ARMENIAN GIRLS LIVED THROUGH THIS EXPERI-
The central figure in the large picture reproduced above is Aurora Mardiganian, the young Armenian girl who is the sole survivor of 50(1,000
girls taken by the Turks irr 1915. These giris were forced to march miles without food, clothing or water to drink. At the end of their long jour
ney across the desert they were sold at auction—many of them for 85 cents each—to Turks who wanted to replenish their harems. Unheard
of atrocities were committed by the Turks against these girls. Ir? fact, the atrocities sounded so fanciful that Viscount Bryce, British investiga
tor, and Henry Morgenthau, American Ambassador, were ordered to investigate. They did and their stories substantiated in every detail what
these girls had lived through. Aurora managed to escape from a Turkish harem and succeeded itv gaining transportation to America, where she
wrote her famous book, "Ravished Armenia," upon which this play is based. To further the Armenian relief work, she consented to play in the
photoplay erAitled ''Auction of Souls," which plays at the Victoria Theater all next week.
Waite Hoyt, of Brooklyn,
Has Been Star Traveler;
to Play at Elizabethtown
. tVaite Hoyt, the Brooklyn young- I
ster, who was purchased recently by
the Boston Red Sox from the New-
Orleans Club, has had a rather re
markable career in baseball, and al
though he in only 20 years old, he
can be classed as a veteran of the
game.
Hoyt was 15 years old and the
i star pitcher of Erasmus Hall High
| School, in Brooklyn, in 1915, when
' he was picked up by the Giants, and
! since that time he has played m
j Memphis, Montreal, Nashville and
• Newark, though the Giants always
have had a string on him.
j Last winter he was released to
j Rochester in part payment for Earl
I Smith, but refused to report. This
i spring Arthur Irwin, despairing of
j getting any service out of the boy,
! traded him to New Orleans, few
j Jimmy Nixon, an outfielder. Hoyt'3
performances with the Baltimore
I Shipyards attracted the attention of
i the Boston Club, and when he shut
; out the Cincinnati Reds some time
1 ago the Sox bought his re'ease from
j New Orleans. Hoyt will be in the
! lineup at Elizabethtown Monday
| evening. Mary local fans will see
, the Dodger play the Klein Choco
; late Company team.
"SOME TIME"
"With the imprint of Arthur Ham
i merstein all over it. "Some Time,"
j the musical romance that charmed
; New York for an entire year at the
I Casino theater, will be disclosed at
j the Orpheum to-day. matinee and
; night with , it is claimed, a high
quality cast and production. Its nov
; city and excellence are pronounced
I fresh evidence of Mr. Hammerstein's
sagacity in sending the popular taste
and his artistry in staging a produc
! tion with every endowment that can
j make it beautiful and alluring—not
; forgetting, of course, the universal
I appeal of lovely feminity, and the
| dominant desire for mirth, melody
i and harmonious color blends. Rida
Johnson Young humorously contrived
I the story.
EDNA GOODRICH IN "SLEEPING PARTNERS"
Coming to the Orpheum Theater for an engagement of one night, Monday.
September 22, will be Edna Goodrich in the famous French farce. "Sleep
ing Partners." Miss Goodrich will wear some of those wonderful gowns,
I which has made for her the name of the best dressed woman on the Ameri
| can stage.
