Dealers CHARMING TALK BY PRINCESS Syrian Princess Delighted Appear Tonight Standing room was at a premium last night at the First Presbyterian church, when Princess Rahme Haider native of Damascus, in her charming, and unique oriental manner presented the manners and life of the Holy Land as perhaps it has never before been depicted to a Corsicana audience. The speaker has a glowing and charming personality, a most fluent command of the English language, a memory well stored with the historical facts; a clear and logical mind, and the highest attribute of all to a public heart overflowing with her subject.

She gave a comprehensive survey of the Holy Land, its climate, scenery, productiveness and people, correcting numerous false impressions that seem to be current as to the Syria of today. Princess Rohme will appear again tonight at 8:30 at the First Presbyterian church, presenting her own interpretation of the Leper, based on the old Biblical story. It tells the story of how' Naaman the great Syrian captain, who, at the height of his glory, was stricken with leprosy and his healing by tho prophet Elisha. The first and last scene will bo staged by Miss Burgess andj the princess. Miss Burgess will render the oriental music, both Egyptian and Syrian.

Princess Rahme also brought into light the distinct relationship be tween the Turk, the Mohammedan, and the first people of the holy land; and of the Turkish rule in Syria, embodying a most eloquent plea to the Christian people of this country for the freedom of her ptople. on a high mountain.

An impressive feature was the ren dition of the quaint native music, in the same ancient Syrian language that Christ used, presented by Miss Lucille Burgeiss traveling companion of tho princess. Miss Burgeis an accomplished musician and delighted the audience with her music The costumes of ancient and hi toric Palestine and the unique music, never before presented in America coupled with the charming princess herself made of the occasion one to be treasured In the memory of those who availed themselves of the oppor tunity offered.
