WELL, certainly, the Plays and Players

would mean. And We laughed n lot for it

his or her part remarkably well. But do
YOU know, with the fun Of it all. one could
not help but have an immense admiration
for the simplicity of the Chinese. who could
so govern their imaginations as to picture
the scene just as it would have been had it
had all the embellishments and adorn-
ments of ma gnifcent modern scenery.
There had to be wisteria in the scene.
so, as there was no lattice on which to
twine it, naturally the property man Henry
Schsffer, Jr.. had to hold the wisterla back
OF the lovers in their garden scene.
In fact. during their flight in a boat he

tattoo, while he changed his position

The costumes were simply gorgeous and

Drivers at Dix Must See
Passes Of Boys Who Leave
Ru spccini correspondert

By Special Co~rrespoHdeut
TRENTON, Nov. 5-Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles William L. Dill, cos
operating with the military authori-
ties at Camp Dix, las issued instruc-
lions to automobile drivers carrying
soldiers for hire between Trenton and
Camp Dix that II men in uniform are
transported without the standard
pass of leave signed by the COM
|mandant Of the cantonment the driv-
ers will be liable to ~revocations Of
their licenses.
This action is taken by the COM
missioner TO help the military author
tiles to break up the practice OF SOL
diers being absent from camp. In
the past many men have been court
martialed and punished for French
leave" and the automobile drivers
have contributed very largely to this
condition. Orders have been issued
at Camp Dix to jitney men operating
within the cantonment that II they
carry soldiers who have not the STAN
dard pass, driving privileges within
the cantonment will be revoked.
which action mas already been taken
in a number of instances.
Another important cooperative ac-
ton OF the part of the military au-
thorities at Camp Dix with the State
Motor Vehicle Department is that
the New Jersey standard of examina-
ton for drivers licenses have been
adopted to apply to soldier-chauf-
feurs. From now on all men who
drive military cars must first pass
the standard drivers test as of civil
ian drivers.
