In the booking office, now
deserted, there had been a rush for tickets to Constantinople. The last
train had gone out at 2 a.m. A supper officer discovered the

From an Egyptian picture-palace programme:--
"Sensationing. Dramatic.
MARINKA'S HEART.
Great drama, in 3 parts, of a poignancy interest,
assisting with anguish at the terrible
peripeties of a Young Girl, falling in hand, of
Bohemian bandits.
Pictures of this film are celicious, being taken
at fir trees and mountan's of the Alpes.--
Great success.
Comic. Silly laughter."
The translator of the French original was probably justified in his
rendering of "_fou rire_."
