IMMORTAL STORY AT THE
AMERICAN THEATER TONIGHT

William Farnum in Charles Dickens
immortal story of the French revolu-
tion, "A Tale of Two Cities" will be
the special summer attraction at the
American theater tonight.
To make this picture a far greater
attraction the worlds pre-eminent
screen star, William Farnum, plays
the dual role of Charles Dernay and
Sidney Carton. In addition William
Fox has spared not expense in sur
rounding this drama with settings that
will make photodrama history.
One thousand persons took part in
the gigantic scene for the new photo
play. The enormous Bastile set.
which has been the wonder of all Los
Angeles for the last two months, was
torn down, block by block, to illustrate
scenes of the French revolution for
the film production.
The frowning wall, 125 feet high,
took five weeks to erect on the grounds
of the Fox plant at Hollywood. 1t
took about five hours to demolish,
when those thousand extras put their
hands to ii.
AT the end of long. narrow Paris
ian street, the enormous building had
been placed. surrounded by a stout
wall and deep moat Across the ditch
stretched drawbridge, which was
lowered when the people of the city
captured the fortress. Then they piled
into the structure and began the work
of demolition.
The scene began taking about ten in
the morning. 1t was almost four
O'Clock before Director Frank Lloyd
would admit that enough of it had
been torn down to give the desired
effect of realism to the photoplay.
Even then, he kept about fifty of the
citizens there to continue the work,
stone by stone. far into the night. For,
when the real Bastile was stormed, ii
required five days and five nights to
complete the destruction.

AGREEMENT IS REAkHED
 BY MEMBERS OF CAUCUSES
Under Proposed Rule Both Party Or ssnizatons Working Together Could Make 1t Uncomfortable for Any Small Group of Senators Who flight Understake a FIibuster.

Washington, March 6-Modifiea- ton of senate rules urged by Presi- dent Wilson to prevent future filibus- ters like the one that killed the armed neutrality bill virtually was agreed upon tonight by a conference commit tee of ten senators, five democrats and five republicans named by the party caucuses.
 The change proposed would put the power in the hands of two-thirds of the senators present at any time to shut off debate and prevent dilatory tactics. The committee will meet again tomorrdw probably before the senate ccnvenes at noon, and is ex- pected to reach a final agreement on resolution embodying this proposal. which was approved by the lles com mittee several months ago. | never came up for action.
 Leaders chanlpioning th change expect the resolutfcn to receive tho necessary caucus endorsement and to be presented to the senate az soon as possible for consideration and action How such proposal will be received by senators opposed to any limitation of discussion. none of the conference committee knew
 A maporty of the senate long has favored the resolution considered fav' orably by the conference committee and it's approval by both parties in caucus undoubtedly would pave the way for it's ultimate adoption. Both party organizations working together could make it uncomfortable for any small group of senators who might undertake a filibuster

LINER APPAM RETURNED
 ID ENGLISH OWNERS
VESSEL WAS BROUGHT INTO HAMPTON ROADS MORE THAN
 YEAR AGO BY PRIZE CREW.

Washington, March G,--lu an unan- imous opinion the supreme court to. day ordered restoration to her Eng fish owners of the liner Appam and cargo, brought into Hampton Road 5 more than a year ago by prize crew from the German raider Moewe. Ship and cargo valued at between three and four million dollars must be deliv- cred within thirty days as the court 'a order is final.
 The decision written by Justice g)ay, affirms decrees by Federal Judge Waddil oI Virginia and up holds the original ruling by Secretary Lansing that prizes coming into Amer ican ports unacccmpanied by captor warships have the right to remain only long enough to make themselves seaWorthy.
 American neutrality was violated m bringing the Appam into Hampton roads, the court says. and neither the ancient treaties, The Hague conven- tions nor the declaration of London entities any belligerents to make American ports place for deposit of prizes as spoils of war under such circumstances.
