ed two plays in their room this morning.
The girls dramaiised a play which they
arranged. "The Story Of the Charter
Oak" The girls made the costumes
from old dresses they brought from home.
Their room is well adapted for such an
activity because of large floor space in
the front of the room and two doors
where the young players may make their
appearances and exits. There is one
door leading to the hall to the right Of
the stage and one which leads into
small supply room directly at the back
Of the stage. The one-act play took but
twenty-five minutes. After the girls were
finished with their play, the boys in the
room gave theirs. II was "Bscon's Re.
bellion" and, like the girls the lines were
made up by the boys in the room. Both
boys and girls took the material for their
plays from the text books they use in
history.

orphans of the Storm" is the
latest triumph of the genius who
produced the series of master
films beginning with THE Birth of
a Nation" and running through
such successors as Intolerance,
Broken Blossoms and Way Down
East"
Three generations have their
memories stirred at the mention of
The Two Orphans" from which
orphans of the Storm" was adopt
ed. Grandparents, fathers and
mothers and children together
build vivid image at the name of
this stage classic. The play was
written by a French playwright,
Adolph Phillip d'Ennery.
OF course the screen has clam
ored for The Two Orphans" The
play has been filmed twice under
that title, productions which are
now obsolete because of the ad-
vance technique. D. W. Griffith, de-
sirous of giving this appealing
story a production really worthy
of it, was able to secure the screen
rights, and now, as Orphans of the
Storm" the old play lives again to-
day as one OF the most tremendous
achievements of Griffith.
The Fort Armstrong is now max
ing preparations for the showing
here for one week starting Sunday.

zones ABOLISH
WAIT FOR CARS
Chief Cox Points Out Advantages
and Restrictions of New Traffic
Control.

Auto drivers will no longer be
forced to wait for a street car TO
move before their machines can go
forward, on the downtown streets
and avenues" said Chief Tom Cox
today. When a street car stops to
discharge or load passengers at
safety zones, the traffic will have
to stop only long enough to allow
street car passengers to go to and
from the safety Zones-it will not
be held up because the car stands N
one place with it's door open.
The new coming system will go
into effect Monday, when the up
right signals which will be put in
at all safety zones to detour traffic
will be installed.
"Autoists may not park nearer
to corners than so feet from the
intersection, and they may not run
over any part of a safety zone.
These two provisions OF the safety
zone ordinance will be enforced by
the Rock Island police and Offend
ers will be arrested"
The new street car safety zones
were put in by city employees VINO
welded the paint brushes Friday
and today. They also marked all
the downtown restricted parking
areas and mo parking" areas.
Areas in which parking or ranking
is permissible were indicated with
outlines on the pavement. Large
no parking" signs were painted on
the street before the entrances and
exit7 of every theatre.
