GYPSY TELLS HER
LAST FORTUNE

Woman, Called "Queen of
Gypsies" and Well Known
Jo Sportsman, Is
Dead. '
"!V ' -: "; ' -f y
" London, June 14. Mary Ann Do
no relation, to "Jane" of that ille
is dead. This would not cause any
excitement were it not for the fact
that Mary' Ann was yery wrfl
kpown figure at the, Ascot ,and other
races, where jhe told fortunes and
sold gypsy-made articles for. many
years. ' V
t She was known as "Queen of the
Gxpsies," and claimed direct descent
from the original Egyptians who
first settled in England. . She was
also one of the few genuine gypsies
left in England who spoke the real
Romany tongue, so distinct from the
argot a combination of i thieves'
slang and 'tramps' patter which
nowadays goes current as Romany.
,Mary Ann was- 80 years of age at
her death and her funeral was at
tended by representatives of nearly
all of the gypsy tribes in England.

Midnight Man, at Universal City. .
Corbett" stumbled. ,r ;
!'Tbat's a blue note!" cried ,Gra-
veure
, , Then came introductions,
I admired your- recital very
f much," complimented Corbett, for
i Graveure was en tour and was giv
i ; ing two recitals in Los Angeles.
v"Most of all I enjoyed your mar
"velous registration of the .vocal
pianissimo. , Of course that's your
breath tontfol." , '
- "Oh, but you do the same thing
here I notice," deprecated 1 the
. famous singer.
" "Breath control?" queried James
' W. ) Home, Corbett'a director
aghast
"Well, the same thing, cinemat
ically applied of cdurse," said Gra
veure. . "You see Mr. Corbett's
subtlety in putting -over some-of
his expressions remind me of a
clever boxer jabbing away at an
opponent's weak spot He gets his
man without burning out his energy.
That's my principle in singing. I
' control my vocal volume, saving my
breath and voice for. the more dra
matic moments."
"If you saw some of the thrills
- we. are ' registering . in this serial"
grinned Corbett, "you wouldn't talk
of .subtlety."
JAnd if you heard me sing Wag
nef before the war you'd have said
the same of me." And Graveure
chuckled. . ' . ;

Scene from AucfclOO cf Souls"
- "Auction of Souls," which la. to be
presented at the - Boyd starting to
dayt has the unusual distinction of
having a leading woman who ac
tually -enacted the original scenes
which . the motion picture repro
duces.'' Miaa Aurora ' Mardiganian,
the girl who has the leading role,
is not si motion picture actress) but
was induced to. act for " the films
just what she personally passed
through in Armenia in 1915.
.Miss ' Mardiganian' inexperience
before the camera is not apparent in
the picture for she holds up her own
end as well as any of the regular ac
tors. Perhaps her, art is ttaa,t born
of the vivid memory of the horrible
scenes through which she passed be
fore escaping from her native land
to come to America for further re
lief. - - . - - : .
She is the .daughter of a former
prosperous banker at Harpout, and
was. 13 years ".old when - the war
broke out..' Being a beautiful girl
she attracted a Turkish official who
wished to make her his wife, im
posing upon her his own religion
and the lowly state of Turkish wo
men. -.-
Her father refused td give her up.
When the. massacres of the Arme
nians started, Tarried on by the
Turks 'under a secret agreement
with. the Germane, the Mohammed
ans made further efforts to get pos
session of the girl After , seeing
her father, 1 mother, two brothers
and three sisters brutally "slain, she
entered upon a series of adventures
which prove that life may be more
exciting than the -wildest dreams of
the fictionist.
She goes through an untold suc
cession of horrible scenes, escapes
from the Turks, is captured by the
wild Kurds of the desert, sold as a
slave; put. in a- harem, takes refuge
witlv monks, -and at last is saved by
the British who sent her to Amer
ica where she lias talked and writ
ten of and finallyacted out her ex
periences, . . - .
In 1'Auction- of . Souls", which is
the story of her harrowing years in
Armenia, every detail of the, story
follows , the actual .experiences of
Miss Mardiganian, 1 and the report
to the United States, of Viscount
James Bryce, former English ara
assador to the .United States, who
directed the investigation of the Ar
menian atrocities.
The picture is being presented in
Omaha under , the sponsorship of
the women's committee of the Vic
tory loan workers.

You fead lots of stories . about
narrow escapes in motion picture
production, but I saw one the other
day at Brunton studios that made
my hair' stand on end. Lois Wilson
was playing an important role' in "A
Man s -Fight," In the action she
was supposed to drive a team of in
furiated horses at breakneck speed
up the main street of a Small mining
town. Lois can drive, but it was
not thought wise for her to take
charge of his team of spirited Worses
and so a driver was hidden in the
bed of the wagon,, where he handled
the reins. The teanr plunged around
the corner, all right , and galloped
up the street Lois tugged valiantly
at the reins, when really it was the
man hidden in the bed of the wagon
who was guiding the team. As the
horses neared the camera the man,
hidden from sight, ' pulled on the
wrong rein. Girls, my heart was in
my mouth I Those two animals
swerved and headed right for a big
scenic set. By a miracle the driver
got wise just in time and pulled back
on the reins. : The horses reared, and
Lois' life was probably saved. .
And she never turned a hair! . A
little pale perhaps when she said:

With the passing of ; rainy
weather, the out-of-town season
will open with a boom at Manawa
park, where thousands have already
spent enjoyable afternoons " and
evenings this ' season. -Today and
this' evening the bathitag beach is
expected to be the scene of the first
big splash of the season. ; ,
An underwater cable more than-a
mile long has been laid in a direct
bne ' across the lake at a cost of
more than $3,000, to furnish lights at
the beach. Alongside this cable, is
another carrying the telephone lines
across the lake. Heretofore the
light wires have been carried across
one end of the lake on poles. E.ich
winter the ice would break 'off the
poles, making repairs an expensive
item. N
'Life guards are stationed' at the
beach.
Manawa Beach is classed as one
of the best in the middle west. The
lake has a splendid height of water,
reaching far up on the sandy shote,
making a gradual slope out into the
lake that is excellent for fun in the
water. The diving- platforms, water
horses, barrels and other pleasure
devices are ready for use. . -

When the Fearless Greggs put on
their automobile act at Krug Park
this afternoon and tonight, the safe
ty of these 'death-defying drivers
will be assured only by the extreme,
carefulness of . Eva Gregg. '-
She has inspected every bolt,
looked at every bit of steel, tested
every foot of the paraphernalia
which is necessary to the act It is
she who knows that her very life
is the price of her own carefullness
and watchfulness. -- . '
The act of the Greggs Is described
as the greatest ever attempted by
automobilists. ' ;
The machines are taken up -the
high steel structure., That driven
by Gregg follows a track which in
clines backward at the bottom, giv
ing to his machine the necessary
curve for 'the looping-the-loop turns
which it takes. . The incline is so ar
ranged that under Gregg's guidance
the machine turns three times in
the air. ; ;;' '";,
: A second after he makes his start,
and the time on this must be gauged
to the slightest fraction, Eva Gregg
Starts her machine on a second
track. It shoots with lightning ra
pidity and hurdles the space to the
second track, passing beneath the
machine of her husband while it is
turning in the airi Both hit the
second track, at practically the same
time, and glide put to safety.
Surg fry on the Screen
The Carrell-Dakini method of
wound irrigation, which saved more
lives of wounded men than all other
treatments put together, ; will be
shown in detail in Cecil B. De
Mille's new picture, "Fat1 .Better., for
Worse." This is the first time this
rrfethod of treatment, for the inven
tion' of which Dr. Carrell was given
the legion of honor, has ever been
shown on the screen or stage.
Although only a few scenes of
this will be used in the picture, Mr.
De Mille insisted on their being ab
solutely accurate, and experts in the
treatment were called in to arrange
details. A set representing a French
base hospital was erected, and - 20
wpunded men, legless, armless and
otherwise crippled, were called in.
The treatment seemed quite
revolutionary when it was first an
nounced, but in the latter part of the"
war its great efficacy was discov
ered. It consists of an irrigation of
the wounds with a chlorine solution,
keeping them open and free from,
infection. The irrigation is made by
suspending bottles of the solution
over the beds. , t ,- !

Lawyer Wants J.ong Term I

Knoxville, Tenn., June 14. That

quest made in federal court here by
J. Arthur Atchley, lawyer repre
senting Charles . DeArmond, who
was convicteid,xn a 'charge of sell

client should be jgiven a long term
in' the penitentiary," said Mr. Atch

Atlanta will mean his death; but I
cannot agree with hirlt I feel that
it is my solemn duty towork for
his' best interest, and I feel that one
year is not a sufficient time in which
to break him from his awful habit"
DeArmorid, speaking in his own be
half, asked that he be given a jail
sentence in preference to being sent
to the penitentiary. Judge E.;T.
