presence of the great preserver of peace must
not be disturbed by any woman who doesn't
agree with him, and who seeks by silence to show
her disapproval Of his conduct These women
have been too fresh, anyhow in asking that they
be given some recognition. Doesn't the demo-
cratic party permit them to cheer for the man
who kept them out of war, and who rushed their
sons off to spend perfectly lovely summer in
southern Texas? What more can they wanta

A motion by Floor Leader Willis
that no question of personal privilege
be spoken to during the morning hour,
while the prohibition bill is under con-
sideration, was rejected by tie vote,
80 to 30.
Mr. Willis then moved that debate
on any of the amendments offered to
the prohibition bill be limited to fif-
teen minutes. Mr.. Gordon. of Louisa,
opposed strenuously, asking Mr.. Willis
if he felt that fifteen minutes gives
sufficient time for the proper discus
sion of such important provisions as
that creating the Office of prohibition
commissioner, and others of almost
equal Importance.
Mr. Willis explained that his motion
was for the purpose of preventing the
killing of so much time as had been
given to the prohibition bill by the
eminent debating society at the other

limit the discussion to fifteen minutes,

placing Of any limit on the speeches.

point and avoid wind jamming.
Mr.. Swift, of Fredericksburg. asked
Mr.. Browning III 1t took forty men,
with debate limited, nine days to dis
pose of the prohibition bill. how LONG
viii lit take 100 men, without a limit
to the debate?"
Mr.. Browning confessed he was not
mathematician enough to compute
that problem offhand. Captain Baker.
OF Chesterfield. moved the pending
question, and the motion was carried.
Mr., Willis then moved to reconsider

"CARMEN" FILM SWITCHED
 RIGHT OUT OF OLD SPAIN Splendid Picture Made With Every Care to Detail-"Our Gerry"
 Has Good Support.
(Boston Traveler.)

(BoSton Traveler.)
 Geraldine Farrar in Carmen" the film which has been proclaimed the length and breadth of the country, was shown for the first time last evening at Symphony Hall, the latest temple of art to give itself over to motion pictures. A large audience filled the house. Miss Farrar was present and the foyer was lined with flowers from her admirers.
 The picture was made with every care to detail and lighting effects. l The ensemble scenes are admirably worked out. No opportunity was neglected to introduce beautiful scenic effects, those made near the ocean being especially worthy of mention.
 The street in Seville, near the en- trance to the bull ring, was a bit snatched right from Spain. Not only were the architectural and costume verities maintained, but the spirit of the holiday-making crowd of Latins was infectiously present. Sections of the bull-fght were shown. The pow erful animal paved up the dust in realistic fashion and ardently chased his tormentors.
 Miss Farrar was a fiercely sensual Carmen. As was expedient in film performance, she had to make her effects entirely by physical methods, the play of the voice being denied her. Her acting was of the broad and striking variety. In the language of the movies, she screens" well, es- pecially in the closeup" Her type lends itself well to the Spanish dress and makeup.
 The company picked to support Miss Farrar was unerringly chosen. Pedro De Cordoba, a young Spanish American formerly identified with the New Theatre in New York, was Els camille, the toreador. His part was small in this version, but it served to show him an actor of power and dis tinction.
 Don Jose was played by Wallace Reid, an arresting figure in his uni form and boots.
