Cher address occupied two hours
and 40 minutes). thought that Il
minutes would be sufficient fol
each OF tie remaining speakers Il
express his views. One deputy ex-
pressed the opinion that no moro
speeches were required. and in this
he appeared to voice the frnpati-
ence of many members to vote
without further delay.
For the first time there was {
disposition tonight on the part o1
certain members Of the Dai
Eireann supporting the treaty te
predict difienitely that it will BE-
ratified The character Of the ap
plause today and the incidental re-
marks Of the speakers tended tc
support this prediction.
Near the close OF her Ions
speech. Miss McSwiney not only
said that she might never have
another opportunity to address thai
assembly unless ireland became {
republic, but marked out hel
future policy and that of the Re
publican party Of rebellion agalns
the free state. She has had oppor,
tunities of ascertaining the view!
Of the members Of the Dali Eireann
and these references were taken a!
pointing to her considered opinion
as to the probable result in Sim
Fe;n parliament.
George Gavan Duffy and othel
speakers for ratification seemed II
take it for granted that the Dai
Eireann would approve the treat!
but, despite these indications.
largo clement of the Dublin pepu
lation continued apprehensive re
garding the outcome.
There were several reference:
today as yesterday to a plebisclte

in order to obtain a free exprsesio!
from the electorate on the issue ant

Mary McSwiney spoke passion
ately for a republic denying repeat
edly that the idea Of q republic wa
dead.
"If the president Of united cab
met stood for the treaty" she de
clared. I'VE would still stand for {
republic"
She asked for a plebiscite of th'
women on the question OF the re
public, saying that the women ant
children Of Ireland would continue
to stand for it even if the mel
turned their backs on it.
Ireland should choose eXtermi
nation before dishonor" she eX
claimed.
Miss HcSwiney attacked Premie,
Lloyd George, the treaty and th'
press. including the American press
which she said was unfair to thu
republican cause. She bitterly re
sented the action Of number o

INA CLARK PLAYS
"POLLY" ON SCREEN
BelascO Stage Star Here Soon in
PhOtOplay OF Middleton
Bolton Success

Ina Claire, the Belasco stage star,
will be seen in pictures today at the
Casino Theatre in Polly With a
Past adapted by June Mathis from
theh theatrical success by George
Middleton and Guy Bolton.
1t was this play which brought Miss
Claire, for nearly year now engaged
ir enacting the principal role in THE
Cold Diggers," at the Lyceum Thea
ire, New York, to stardom. The story
has to do with a young girl, come
from the country to study for the OPP
cratic stage but forced by circum-
stances finally to be a housemaid
There the friends Of Rex Van Zile, in
an effort to interest that impression
able young man from another woman
they detest, prevail upon Polly Sharon
to assume a past of an interestingly
brilliant hue. And there properly
or perhaps improperly-the story
really begins.
In support of Miss Claire are Ralph
Graves, as Rex; Marie Wainwright,

duction, directed and supervised per-
sonally by Maxwell Karger, Metro di-
rector general, was photographed by
