the people of Americas, all of whom

FEAST LYNNE" WITH
 THEDA BARA WONDER PHOTOPLAY OF SEASON
Vampire Woman Makes More Than Good in the Film Dramatization of Famous Story at Orpheum.

When an actress who has been through the mill of drama, and at that played scores of emotional parts, falls
 to weeping at the sheer strength of
 the role she acts, it is high time to take notice. This was done by Theda Bara, the vampire woman" of film land, when she had completed her
 work in the all-star cast of East ] Lynne" which appears again today at the Orpheum, a modern revival in picture play form of the many years stage favorite.
 After I would finish my parts from day ro day" said Miss Bara after the picture was completed, it seemed that l simply could not keep the tears back And I do not cry easily as most women. Tears are rarer than black pearls with me.
 Tt seemed that the plot of East Lynne at least as we interpreted it for the camera, was the most power. full thing have done. And everybody knows that my parts in other William Fox photodramas has not been weak ones when it comes to emotional roles"
 Miss Bara's support in East Lynne" makes the favorite play, known for a decade to theatregoers of America, England and British pro- vinces, unusually welcome in moving picture form. The screen star is sup ported by a cast including such Will fam FSX artists as Claire Whitney, that dainty little actress of picture prominence; Stuart Holmes, the movie villain of twisted mustache: W. II. Tooker and Stanhope Wheatcroft stage and screen actors of sound training and many previous successes.
 Several Of the old actors and act resses in the cast had done East | Lynne" when it was a fiOurishing
 stage favorite 9 score of years ago, I and at the New Jersey Fox studios they heaved to with a will. under the direction of Bertram Bracken, who is ] in charge of the making of pictures starring Miss Bara. The picture parts
 were taken with an unusually few | hitches, and the film runs as smoothly as oil in unfolding the powerful story ' of England country life, with its gan | bling and hard-riding squires snd women of deep emotions. Miss Bara as Isabel fits her part to a T. And | in acting it she feels it, as ner per sonal emotional confessions evidence.
 Tt seems to me that the picture revival of East Lynne should be especially welcome to the American i public. beset as it is with meaningless comedies and plotless plays" says Miss Bara. There is no question about the merit of East Lynne for
 it had a record run back in the days when the public was just as keen, and
 perhaps keener, for genuine art in ! drama. The public then knew noth-
 ing of musical comedy drivel and
 problem plays without morals. I be
 lieve all the picture plays I have done i for MT. Fox have brought home their moral they can say what they want
 about my being the vampire woman of screenland' and the most wickedly
 beautiful and SO forth. If one does
 good by being bad through gdod act ing it is not bad, is it."

| to stay the soaring prices or food and | the necessaries of life which had been
 going rapidly upward for several days. ! They also were jubilant that at last | the way looked clear for adjournment | of congress but many members of ] both houses were convinced that with 1 the reassembling in December the question would come up again and that permanent legislation suggested by the President along the line of compulsory arbitration would be
 pressed. In the meantime the joint
 subcommittee recently created by congress will get to work on prepara-
 tions of railroad legislation and will
 be concluded as soon as possible.
 Republican senators and a few of
 Democrats in debate on the bill de
 clared unhesitatingly that congress
 was being coerced, dictated to, driv-
 en under the gun for the passage of
 the bill.
 Senator Borah asserted that the rail
 road trainmen would not dare to or
 der the strike if congress should
 abandon the bill and adopt a resolu-
 ton merely to provide for a thorough
 investigation of the whole situation.
 Other senators, chiefly Progressive
 Republicans, among them Cummins.
 Kenyon and Norris, said that labor was getting a bad bargain, "a brassy gold brick" a "humbug" and that they were conceding to congress the right to legislate on the question of wages, a concession which in theii opinion the 100000 trainmen of the organizations affected would not ap- prove if it should be put to them for vote.
 But champions of the Adamson bill said in reply that to amend the bill would mean that the strike would not be stopped. They recalled the sen ate the declarations of the brother hood leaders that nothing would serve to stay the strike except the passage and approval of the bill giving them the eight hour day and the proposed investigation. Senator Reed, taking up clubs for the brotherhOods, assert ed that a quorum of the House was not in Washington; that it therefore would be impossible to pass the bill if amended in time to avert the strike on Monday, and congress would be blamed for the disaster if it were not stayed with the plan designed by House leaders.
 This line of argument won the day and not only prevented the adoption of the Underwood amendment but al- so served to defeat an amendment by l Senator Newlands to make interrer- ] ence with operation of railroad trains | a misdemeanor punishable by fine and | and an amendment by | Senator Lafollette which would make | certain that the law should be not | construed to mean to offset the law | men from working con more than Is hours. The majority of the senators admitted that they were afraid to change the dOtting of an "T' or the crossing of ''T' in the House bill for fear that it might serve to damage what all wished, to prevent a strike.
