One Of the Greatest
Romances Ever Filmed

One of the greatest desert ro-
mences ever filmed, "The Garden of
Allah" Rex Ingram production for
Metro-G oldwyn of Robert Kitchens
famous novel comes to the Gala
Theatre Sunday.
Filmed in the sand wastes of the
Sahara, the locality in which the
story takes place, it has authentic
reality.
1t tells the tale of Trappist monks
love for an English girl, of his mar
riage to her, and of his subsequent
return 10 the monastery after three
months spent with her on the desert.
Alice Terry in the role of Domini,
the girl who sends her lover back to
the rigid seclusion of his cell even
though she is rapturously in love with
him at the time, has the greatest OPP
portunity of her career. She is sup
ported by Ivan Petrovich, a Serb
ian leading man new to American
audiences, and cast of continental
players. Petrovich will doubtless be-
come the new screen favorite on the
strength of his portrayal of the monk
who is torn between love for wom-
an and faith to his trust.
"The Garden of Allah" is haunt
ing romance filled with passion,
heart-break and thrilling adventure.

United Press Stah Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - A
Christmas armiStice prevailed in
congress today.
But adherents of the anti-war
treaty and proponents of the naval
cruiser bill were glaring across the
senate aisleS ready to resume their
fight over precedence on the meas
ureS as soon as they come up again,
Jan. 3.
Odds and ends Of the legislative
calendar of both houses are being
cleaned up in the meantime, pre-
paratory to adjourning for the
Christmas recess Saturday. Many
senator's and representatives are
departing for their homes leaving
only the leaders on guard to care
for the less important matters.
Truce Over Holiday
The bitter contest for precedence
between the treaty and the navy
bill was postponed over the holidays
by the unanimous consent agree
ment made in the senate late
Thursday. 1t provided both should
be considered the unfinished bust
ness when the Senate reconvenes,
the treaty in open executive session
and the bill in the regular session.
When the senate reconveneS,
Chairman Borah of the foreign re-
lations committee will seek to force
consideration of the treaty by side
tracking the navy bill for that
purpose.
House Calendar Cleared
The navy bill leaders intend to
fight for preservation of their
measure in the prior position, con-
tending it is the first of the two
measures mentioned in the agree
ment.
No one entirely was satisfied by
the agreement but it was adopted
merely to prevent continuance of a
flibuster against the naval bill, so
the senate could transact other
business.
Senate leaders hoped to spend the
remaining time before adjournment
on some 300 bills which have &C
cumulated on the calendar during
the two weeks of the session. The
house had its calendar fairly well
cleaned up.
