The totality of eFert in the Universal special, **The Virgin of Stumboul.”’ is that of picturesque grandeur. [t is conceived ard executed by minds fascinated by the mvstery of oriental existence, That many-sided, many-colored iife grows in gorgeons eos- tumes and decorative backerounds. The color and aloym, the riches and poverty, the luxury and wretehednéss of that older and narrower purt of Constantinople known as Stambou! are <kilfully visualized, They arouse sensations of romantic wonder as pie- tures. The Universal pieture is a fine spectacle of generous treatment, with stirring ensembles ard a dash of melodrama. Priscilla Dean impersonates a beantiful beggar gicl, an unveiled seeker of alms in the streets, whose character has remained clean. ler ¢! a acterization has the splendid animation of a bricht American girl whose energy of vouth is ballasted bv brains. While this may be remote frem the oriental, it is very attractive, true to the environ- ment is Wallace Beery as a wealthy Sheik with a choice harem. He is decitodly repre- sontative of the combined austerity and sensuality of oriental fanaticism. T'he balapce of the cast is satisTactory without exception. With so much 1o its eredit as a careful and interesting production. ““The Virgin of Stamboul’’ sheuld be as fivorably received elsewhere as it was by a erowded house at the Broadway Theatve. CAST.

TELEGR & MS. ST. CRGIX STATION. London, May 12th. —The agitation which the labour §ind liberal tactions are con- dacting against Lord Carzon’s recent note to Russia eontinues to lill a large space in the press. All the opprosition parties are row marshalling their forces for next Tuesday’s debates in tne House of Com i ons, at vhich a lively fizht is expectea. | e exates of sthe Trade Union Congress the National Lavour Party andtl » Parlia- mentary Labour Party meeting in joint cogsion vesterday issued a maniiesto strongly condemnin : the note and assert- i.¢ that the points at issue between Great Britain and Soviet Russia can be seitled at an arbitration conference. The manifesto protesied augainst a break in Russo-British trade reia‘ions. that such a step ‘would increase unemployment in Great Britain and add to the danzer of war’’. In the meantime, ove gvoup of Qucialists has nnexpectedly refused to share in the agitation Tbis faction is the social democrats federation which replying to the independent labour par- ty’s invitation to join in a demonstration at Trafalgar Square lomorrow regrets that it cannot agree to cooperate. The federation says, that, among other things tne maintenance of .relations between Russia and Great Britain, in view of the note is within the ccntrol of the Soviet Government and that the organization prefers to avoid action which might anti- cipate Moscow’s reply. The federation aiso asserts that it cannot see 'how any Jlussian or british interests in which it concerned is hikely to suffer if trade goveemaent 18 terminated and declares it caninl believe war possible through No 113
