Apparently the only way to
reach the purpose aimed at by
the council is to annlr th llm'o
limit, so the cars would not be
pargea except for short periods of
time, on the streets. A further
amendment is proposed which
would apply the time limit within
the block. Thus a car owner
could not just move his car a few
feet at the end of the time limit
and get a new length of stay in
the same block. He would at

SENATE VICTORIOUS
WASHINGTON,' May 24. (AP)
Supporters of the census and
reapportionment bill held the up
per hand on an Important vote in
the senate today, indicating fa
vorable action on the measure
early next week.
By a vote of 45 to 38, the sen
ate rejected an amendment by
Senator Black, democrat. Ala
bama, designed to' prevent the
president from declaring a reap
portionment of the house of rep
resentatives In the event congress
failed to do so after the census of
1930 and each succeeding ten
years. The opposition to the bill
bad considered this amendment
their most effective move.
Administration leaders were set
back by a combination of republi
can independents and democrats,
however, on a rote to put all cen
sus employe's under civil service
regulations. This provision ap
proved 43 to 36, is expected to be
opposed by republican leaders in
the house and may result in a
conference dispute.
An amendment by Senator
George, democrat, Georgia, limit
ing the provisions of the measure
to the census of 1930, and the en
suing reapportionment, however,
was rejected by onely one vote, 42
to 41. Senators Black and George
gave notice that ihey would ask
for a separate vote on their propo
sals after the bill is ready for pas

Mexican Star Gives Greatest
Performance of Career in
"Revenge" Role
Dolores Del Rio unfolds an en.
tirely new characterization on
the Elsinore screen where she ap
pears in the role of a fiery gypsy
maiden whose chief joy in life
Is taming wild bears.
"Revenge" Is tne title of the
picture. prepared by Finis Fox
from Konrad Bercovici's "The
Bea Tamer's Daughter," pro
duced and directed by Edwin
Carewe for United Artists.
Carewe, it will be remembered,
presented Dolores in "Resurrec.
tion" and then in "Ramona."
In "Resurrection," we remem
ber Miss Dei Rio as the demure
little Russian peasant seeking the
love of the noble Prince DImitrl.
It was in this production that
people started to wake up to the
fact that Dolores could act.
In "Ramona," Edwin Carewe
gave us Miss Del Rio as the lit
tle Indian maiden, harassed, dis
appointed, filled with the irony
of life, hit by every obstacle that
defied happiness.
In "Revenge" Dolores Del Rio
is neither the Russian Katusha
Maslova nor is she the Indian
girl Ramona. It is difficult to de
scribe her. Truly she gives a com
pletely new and interesting char
acterization one of high drama,
tic tension, filled with barbaric
splendor, colorful, glamorous and
romantic.
"Rascha," as she is called In
the story. Is the daughter of a
gypsy bear tamer living in the
Carpathian mountain region of
Ronmania. She tames the bears
with abandon and gleefully rules
htem into submission.
Then "Rascha" tries to tsme
a man, "Jorga," in the same man.
