MORE WILD SCENES ENACTED IN
CONSTANTINOPLE THAN TURKS I
ALLOWED UNDER OLD REGIME
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 16 (by
Associated Press). — Constantinople
«»w combines all the frenzy of a new
ining camp and a world seaport. It’s
“the end of the trail” for all the Bal
kan states and everything west of
Suez on the Mediterranean. Caucas
ian oil men, Donetz Basin miners,
Anatolian sheep and cattle - kings,
Greek war millionaries and Syrian
merchants rush to Constantinople to
pop champagne in proof of their suc
cess. Soldiers and sailors of half a
dozen nations swell the population and
add to the cosmopolitan aspect of the
streets and pleasure resorts.
Under allied occupation the city
has become a wilder place than it was
binder the Turks. There are no civil
courts. None of the allies desire to
$
assume responsibility for reforms
■other than are necessary to safe
guard life, ^falian, French and Brit
ish troops co-operate with the Turk
ish gendermerie in keeping order.
But everybody’s job is nobody’s job.
Consequently Constantinople is a very
wide-open town. Midnight closing
is enforced pretty generally, but until
that hour there is little interference
with dance halls, gambling dives and
redlight. districts unless murder is
committed.
Leadville and Goklville in their diz
ziest days long-past did not have
anytning winter tnan certain sections
of Constantinople where jazz bands
vie with Neapolitan orchestras and
tsigane singers in their efforts to at
tract wayfarers into the beer tunnels
and dance halls filled to overflowing
with the painted women of many na
tionalities.
Half a dozen summer gardens offer
vaudeville programs which attract
*- thousands of persons every night who
seem to have far more interest in the
drinks and restless crowds than in
the Russian prima donnas and bare
^ legged dancers whose art is usually
as meagre as their attire. Turks,
. Arabs, Bedouins, Egyptians and Assyr
ians, gorgeously clad in native cos
tumes, elbow their way among Cos
socks and Georgians whose uniforms
are far more brilliant than their re
cent military achievements.
^>oal-black French colonials, re
splendent in red fezzes and green
kahki, mingle with Sikhs and Jun
jabi whose long hair and many-col
ored headdresses are wrapped in som
bre brown. Civilians, soldiers and
sailors from all parts of the world
are hopelessly jumbled together in
Constantinople crowds and are so busy
looking at each other that tenors from
the Petrograd opera, naughty French
singers from Montmarte and Austrian
strong-jawed ladies claim but slight
attention.
Constantinople itself is a grand pa
ll geant every day. Its main thorough
+ fare, Rue Grande Pera, is more fas
cinating than any scene which pro
ducers can ever hope to stage. Camel
drivers lead their patient burdened
with charcoal, through the maze of
street cars, shrieking army motorcars
and carriages, piloted over the rough
paving at breakneck speed by Turkish
hostlers who crack their whips and
shout constantly at high pitch to the
pedestrians who venture off the nar
row sidewalks. Turks mounted on
tiny donkeys move indifferently
through this maelstrom. Occassional
ly Turkish peasants drive a flock of
sheep or turkeys into this swirl of
traffic and serene oxen draw heavy
carts along at a pace so slow that the
drivers of military camions curse
them in ten different languages.
The narrow crooked streets of
Constantinople are illsuited to motor
traffic and the slow-going fatalistic
Turk is little inclined to change his
pace. Consequently there are many
accidents and the indifference with
which foreign military cars are driven
that done so much to intensify Tur-k
ish hatred of foreigners.
BIG EMPRESS FEATURE
HAS ANITA STEWART
IN “VIRTUOUS WIVES”
Is your married life happy? • Per
haps you are the Amy . Forrester of
Cordova, and perhaps your husband is
an Andrew Forrester.
They are the young people who find
that matrimony is like a keg of dyna
mite near a fire,—danger sparks al
ways flying.
Every wife and every husband, every
man and every woman, should see
“Virtuous Wives,” as played by Anita
Stewart. The romance of beautiful
Amy Forrester, daughter of wealth,
swept from society’s glitter by strong
Anderw Forrester, then left to play
while he, in distant Colorado, struggles
for the wealth that will give her
beauty its proper setting.
As the months pass, Andrew worked
and Amy played with other men still
holding herself a “virtuous wife” ac
cording to society’s code. Then an
anonymous letter brought Andrew
back to accuse Amy—“You are no
longer a virtuous wife.”
Did the blame lie with the wife,
left to play, or with the husband who
gave her everything but his time?
It’s a powerful story of modern so
ciety, lavish in setting, strong in cast,
wherein men and women of today
work out their salvation and ultimate
happiness.
At the Empress tonight and tomor
row.

CALIFORNIA QUAKES
AFFECT MONTANA ROADS
—
BILLINGS, Mont., Aug. 16 (by Asso-j
dated Press).—Simultaneously with,
the recent earthquake shocks in south
ern California, great crevices are ap
pearing in the earth about Acton, 20
miles west of here. They are so ser
ious, it is said, as to menace railway
beds and it is possible they may cause
a new line to be laid.
It has been said for years that there
was some connection between the
structure of Montana and the Cali
fornia seismic belt and it has long
been lay gossip that the geysers in
Yellowstone park, before and after a
pronounced shock, show the effects of
the disturbances. But there has been,
as far as is known, no scientific
statement on the subject.
