Republicans Relying On Break
Among Democrats To Sc
cure Needed Votes.
81 VOTES ARE NEEDED
Assertions Is Made That % Democrats
Are Ready To Quit Wilson Lead
and Take Reservation Pro-
I uram As II Is.

Washington.-Possi OF sub
stantial break in the Democratic Peace
treaty ranks in the Senate impelled
influential Democratic senators to
move for q caucus to discuss a pos.
sible change In party policy. and re-
vived the hopes of the Republicans
that the treaty might yet be ratified
With the Republican reservations
adopted at the last session of Con-
EresS.
On the Republican side it was as
serted that the % Democrats, only a
rew short of the number required to
insure ratification, had .signified 4
willingness to quit the lead of Presl-
dent Wilson and take the Republican
reservation program as it is.
Dissatisfaction May Be Barred.
The movement for a Democratic
caucus may bring into the open the
dissatisfaction that has smouldered In
some Democratic quarters since the
President sent his letter to the caucus
OF November 10. asking that the sena-
tors of his party vote against ratifi-
cation on the basis OF the Republican
reservations. The seven senators who
6lisregarded his advice have been &C.
tive constantly in their effort to dis
suade others from the stand then
taken.
But among both Democrats and Re-
publicans it is realized that the en-
deavor to break down Democratic re-
sistance still has a long way to 60
If 1t is to succeed. Sixty-four votes
are required to ratify the treaty, and
although "a Republicans voted for rat
ification in November, the party lead
ers are sure now of the support OF
only 30. That leaves "a to be deliver
ed by the Democrats.
In the belief that time is fighting on
their side, the plan Of the Republican
leaders is to first clear away collateral
issues of the treaty disagreement
when the subject comes again before
the Senate. The next reservation to
be considered in the revision being un-
dertaken on the Senate floor is the
troublesome qualification OF Article
10.
Caucus May Develop Strength.
Meantime, it is pointed out, Demo-
cratic caucus may have developed the
real strength of the movement among
Democratic senators to break away
from a policy Of resistance and put the
treaty through. Should majority OF
the ~ Democrats vote in the caucus to
make such a move, it is expected by
the Republicans that the effect would
be to bring over the votes needed for
ratification.

THE FALL OF BABYLON"
AT THE GRAND TONIGHT

D. w. Griffith's latest and by far
one of his most notable motion pic
ture masterpieces, 1.-THE Fall of
Babylon" was presented yesterday
at the Grand theatre, and will be
shown again for the last time tonight.
1t would seem that in this colossal
production Mr.. Griffith, the wizard
of the drama, had broken even his
own record. Undoubtedly '"The Fall
of Babylon" is one of the greatest
spectacles this master of picture MAX
ing has turned out. To compare it to
anything that has gone before would
be like comparing mountain stream
to Niagara, SO prodigious and majes-
tic is this triumph of the man who
first caused sensation with his
"Hearts of the World" and "The
Birth of a Nation" To say that he
has equalled these two former spec
taclds is but putting it mildly, for
"The Fall of Babylon" actually seems
to surpass Mr.. Griffith's earlier eff
forts in the gorgeousncss, splendor.
luxury and bizarre life of the ancients
which he brings out with all the color
and grandeur of a day gone by.
The tale is Of the far-gone day of
Babylon, $50 B. c., but through the
powerful fury Of barbaric warfare,
the bewildering superstitution and
political intrigue, runs brilliant
thread of story, made up of the love
and romance, of the hate and passion
Of human nature as we know it and
understand it today. It is the love
story Of all time, brought out by
Mr.. Griffith as the love of little
mountain girl for Prince Belshazzar,
and of Belshazzar's love for his Prin-
cess Beloved.

DOUBLE ROLES THAT

REX THEATRE-TODAY:
HOPE HAMPTON WINS
~ = PRAISE OF KOSLOFF

One of the many Interesting cpl
sodes in. "A Modern Salome," in
which Hope Hampton makes her
screen debut, and which is distribute
ed thru Metro, appears at the Rex
theatre for two days beginning to-
day, represents the court OF King
Herod of ancient times. 1t is the In
cident where the notorious Salome
does her famous Dance of Enchant-
ment, at the end of which the mon
arch offers her whatever she desires
as a gift-and she asks for the head
of John the Baptist.
: This story. narrated in the scrip
lures, inspired the dramatic poem of
"Salo1he'' by Oscar. Wilde and the
opera by Richard Struss. Recollec-
tions Of the way this famous dance
has been performed by various ar
tistes is woven into the plot Of the
picture thru a hallucination suffered
by the heroine. in the famous Sa-
lone OF old. 1t is in this incident
that she performs the Dance of En-
ticement.
Theodore Kosloff, the famous Rus
sian ballet-dancer, whose work has
been seen on the stage and on the
screen, was in charge Of the ballet
which supported Tie star in this
dance, and in fact staged this entire
episode. When rehearsing the bal
let, Kcsloff commenced to instruct
Miss Hampton in the steps she should
do for the number, but was SO struck
by her natural grace that he asked
her to go thru the dance as she con-
ceived it without any suggestion
from him.
Miss Hampton ran thru a series Of
steps and movements. and KoSloff I'M
mediately decided that she needed no
further instruction from him, but as
sembled his supporting ballet and
told Director f. Leonce Pettct to
"shoot" the scene, since the star was
all ready for 1t.
Bearing in mind the fact tat Hope
Hampton has never had any terpsi-
chorean training, and that she has
never even seen anybody else per-
form this dance, the fact that the
young star. won such high praise from
an artist like Kosloff is regarded as
worthy Of note.

Suppose you, woman, were to be

were already 4arrayed in your we'd
ding gown and were adjusting your
veil, when your own father sneaketl
up to the door, locked you in. and de-

You can imagine Ruth St0rrows
Indignation when, after her father
had played such trick on her, she
found on guard below her window
her former sweetheart, the man
whom she had Tilted for another.
That is the situation which con-
fronted Ruth Storrow in the second
episode of ..sBride 49,, which will be
shown at the Rex theatre beginning
Today and Tuesday.
Ruth Storrow's real name is Mar
guerite Clayton. and she is the beau
tiful blonde heroine Of William Fox's
serial. Ruth is facing a difficult sit
uation. just before her sister Elean-
or's marriage eleven wealthy brides
had been stolen and held for ransom
p Storrow wants Eleanor to put of
her marriage, but Ruth urges her to
go ahead and DEFY the criminal band

Eleanor follows Ruth's advice and
then she is driven off a wharf in her
limousine and disappears into the
bay.
+, One might think that would dis
suade Ruth, but it does not. and she
determines to follow the advice she
gave her sister and go to the altar
regardless Of the threats of the un-
seen forces.
Then her father balks her in her
purpose, and Bob. her former sweet
heart, aids him. Still Ruth is not
checkmated. She looks out of the
window and notices that Bob's atten-
ton has been distracted.
She raises the sash, climbs upon
