FULLY TO FILM
"OMAR THE TENTMAKER'

Richard Walton Tully, accompan-
led by Mrs. Tully, has left New York
for Los Angeles, where he will lmme-
diately start preparations for his sec
ond big picture to be released
through Associated First National.
The purpose of Tully's visit here was
to deliver to First National the fin
ished negatives of his first picture,
"The Masquerader,' based upon the
successful stage play in which Guy
Baes Post starred for six years, and
in the screen version of which Post
makes his screen debut. 'The Mas
querader" had previously been sche-
duled for release this spring, but
First National is so impressed with
the magnitude and potential earning
possibilities of the feature, that they
decided, in conference with Mr.. Tully,
not to release the picture for hot
weather exhibition, but to withhold it
TIL fall, when it will be their first re-
lease of the new season.
Meanwhile, Tully will commence
work on his second feature, which
will be screening of his own Orien-
tai drama, "Omar, the Tentmaker,"
based upon the life and works of the
Persian poet, Omar Khayyam, in
which stage play Post appear for four
years previous to fThe Masquerad-
er." and in which he will also star on
the screen.
Tully has already engaged the same
able corps of assistants to surround
him in the filming of "Omar" as aided
him in the production of ''The Mas
querader," namely, James Young as
director; Wilfred Buckland as art di-
rector; George Benoit as cinematog-
rapher and A. Carle Palm, laboratory
expert. The cast required for "Om-
arr is lengthy and difficult one, and
Tully expects to spend several weeks
in the selection Of the actors best
suited to the many distinctive charac-
terizations. Tully will also endeavor
to reproduce the glowing, colorful at
mosphere of teh Orient with a fidel-
ity and exactitude never realized by
any American picture. He recently
spent six months in Persia absorbing
local color, purchasing authentic pro-
perties and art-objects, and taking
hundreds of photograps of more re-
mote sections of the country, where
the architectural structures and
modes of life have altered infnitesi-
;n1ally during the centuries, to be used
as the basis of the settings. Tully
hopes to have the "Omar" picture
finished by September, so that its re-
lease will follow closely upon that of
F'The Masquerader "

ATTACK OPENED
ON TARIFF BILL
SENATOR SIMMONS CALLS IT
UN.AMERICAN
Proposed Legislation Decidedly Un
Suited to Present Conditions
Faced by United States

Washington, April 13.-The Dem
oerstic attack on the administration
tariff bill was opened today by Sena-
tor Simmons of North Carolina, rank
ing member of the senate finance
committee, who, in statement char
acterised it as "the most un-Amerl-
can bill ever framed" He predicted
That its operation would 'penalize
our EXPORT business which will mean
IN the end curtainment of production
and increased unemployment on the
farms, in the mines and in the fac
tories"
AS the same time senators of the
Repubi;can agricultural tariff bloc
held the first of series of meetings.
Senator Gooding of Idaho, chairman
Of the bloc, said that it was the pur-
nose to take up American valuation
at the meetings.
"There is strong sentiment in the
senate for American valuation" ne
said 81 do not want to put all OF our
members on record as favoring it but
many of them are strongly impressed
with the principle"
Pending a decision on the question
BY the bloc, Senator Gooding would
NOT. say whether fight for American
valuation would be made on the floor.
He said, however, that it might be
difficult to have the valuation basis
changed in the senate because of the
great task that would be involved IN
rewriting practically all of the ad
valorem rates in the bill.
AT their session today, the bloc
members, after hearing spokesmen
for the Southern Tariff association
decided to support the increased rates
asked for by that association on pea
nuts, rice and copra. The association
also urged that the duties on sugar
Be advanced from 2 cents to Il
cents a pound on full duty and from
$50 to 2 cents on Cuban sugar, but
the Bloc has vet to determine what
increases it VIII support,
In his statement attacking the ta-
riff bill, which was preliminary to the
minority report on the measure, Sen
ator Simmons said that even curse
rys examination indicated that it was
the highest tariff bill ever written.
He added that tariff ''more unsulted
to present conditions if we are to par
ticipate in world trade could not we'll
have been framed"
