leaders in the house. The rules com.
mittee will frame a rule to table the

The rule will be brought in and the
administration forces plan to dispose
of it by a substantial majority. The
foreign affairs committee already has
agreed on the resolution.

him a letter, in which he states that
unless he is paid within twentyfour
hours that he will go to Griswold' 5

Mark Antonys Grafton Received with
Rapt Attention When Famous Tri-
angle Star Delivered II.
One of the many interesting mo-
ments in De Wolf Hopper's new Tri-
angle play Stranded which is laid
in a theatrical atmosphere, is when
the old actor, enacted by Hopper,
proud of his past, opens his scrap
book and sees a newspaper criticism
of his performance as Mark An
tony in Julius Caesar"
In the screen production the scene
fades back to the old DAYS. and Hop
kins delivers the wonderful Mark
Antony speech While he was doing
this the studio was perfectly quiet.
When he had finished his Fine Arts
associates crowded around him and
rewarded him with salvo after salvo
of applause.
Once before. at a Lambs Club
gambol Hopper recited the Mark An
tony speech: and in this play he is
attired in the same costume that he
wore when playing for his brother ac-
tors.
De Wolf Hopper is known for his
enthusiasm, but in all his career he
has never displayed as much enthu-
siasm or optimism as he exhibits
when describing his part as the old
actor in his new Triangle play. Lloyd
