The movie Is ‘ The Virgin of Stamboul. ’
The place—the Circle.

“The Virgin of Stamboul” Is a big pic
ture, according to all of the advance'ln
formation.
H. H. Van Loan, the author, has at
tempted to write a story about the wick
edest city in the world.
In this movie some of the men are
busy stealing women for their harems.
It shows wnat happened when a beau
tiful beggar girl. Sari, turned her foot
steps toward the mosque, there to lift
her voice In supplication to a God she
had never known before.
What she saw as she knelt there Is th*
beginning of a furlllade of tense situa
tions.
Whole streets and sections of Stamboul,
“the wickedest city in the east,” have
been reproduced for this production, and
many weeks wert spent on the desert for
certain scenes in this photodrama.
The role of Sari t* one which gives
Priscilla Dean greater opportunity than
she has ever had before.
Wheeler Oakman, as the captain of the
Black Horse Troop, who falls In love
with Sari and captured her from the hor
rors of the harem, has a role admirably
suited to his personality.
Wallace Beery has the part of the pow
erful shlek who uses every means, both
foul and fair, to capture the beggar girt
for his harem.

alities of Angle Bose and her husband

For fifty years they have lived and
loved side by side.
Then comes poverty and the prospect
