TURKISH TFOOPS HALT
MASSCRES IN PERSIA
Washington, April 21.—Turkish reg
ular troops apparently have succeeded
in restoring order at Urnmiah, Persia,
where Kurd bandit raids on native
Christians recently led to reports that
American and other foreign missionaries
had been attacked.
Since the arrival of the force sent
to Urumiab at the urgent representa
tions of AmbaLsador Morgenthau at
Constantinople, it was learned yester
day there has been a renewal of the
disorders so far as State Department
advices show.
The majority of rumors of attacks
on foreigners originated at Tabriz, and
are said to have been founded largely
upon rough usage accorded one or two
American missionaries who intervened
in behalf of natives.

"The Ham Tree," that very hu

Heath's exceptional portrayal of negro
character, will be the attraction at
the Majestic on Saturday afternoon and

Alexander llambletonian, the doleful,
and Henry Jones, the hopeful. The
production is staged by Ned Wayburn,
master-craftsman of novel groupings

"Twin Beds"
Selwyn & Co. recently received a
letter from a man famous in the medi
cal profession of this country, eudors
in the play, not only as a clean, whole
some, hilarious farce, but also for {he
hygienic principle it promulgated. The
writer went on to say that if people
would sleep alone and in an apartment
with plenty of fresh air there would
be much less disease and contagion.
Local playgoers will have an oppor
tunity of judging whether the senti
ment of the physician or of Signor

Fun To-night at Colonial
This is the weekly country store
night at the Colonial Theatre, and the
management has planned some comedy
surprises that promise one of the mer
riest nights of the season at the Co
lonial. The whole bill at the Colonial
the (irst three days of this week is
good. Theso acts will terminate their
stay at the Colonial to-night, and to
morrow a new bill of vaudeville will
replace them. One of the acts slated'
for the new bill to open to-morrow is I
the biggest act that ever was present
ed at the Colonial Theatre, or any oth
er theatre for that matter where
prices as low as those at the Colonial
are charged. "The Bachelor Dinner"
is a big girl act of the musical comedy
variety, with more than a dozen play
ers in the cast, seven of them charm
ing young women with a wealth of
wardrobe and costume changes. There
will be three other good acts on the
same bill.—Adv. *
At the Regent
An engagement extraordinary at the
Regent theatre to-day is the Famous
Players Film Company's presentation
of "The Million," with Edward
Abeles, the popular star, in the leading
role. It is a tour-part photo drama of
Henry W. Savage's recent sensationally
successful farce production, which has.
won the distinction of possessing more
laughter and wholesome fun than any
comedy of recent years. The continu
ous mirth proceeds equally from the ac
tion, caricature* and situatious of one
of the most novel and ingenious plots
ever presented on the stage or screen.
The subject also presents one of the
mcst remarkable examples of character
acting supplied in many years in the
impersenation of "Le Baron," the
crook, by Mr. Abele*. In the qourse
of the play the star is called upon to;
portray no less than six entirely dis
tinct characters. The attraction will l
bo repeated to-morrow, in addition to I
tliQ regular linos of comedies and
dramas which arc making the Regent
the "classy theatre for people."
