Can't Count the Laughs.

In Nothing But Lies, rev com
edy by Aaron Hoffman, co-author Of
Friendly Enemies, it is next to impos-
siblc to actually count the number Of
laughs that follow each other in such
rapid succession during the develop
ment and unfolding of the new and or
iginal idea used by this eminent young
author. With an idea that is humor-
Gus, to say the least, his development IS
so natural that the mirth provoked
borders ar times on the hysterical and
it is doubtful if there has ever been
produced a comedy with so many legi-
innate and NATURALLY humorous stu
ations which, ins.th hands of an ex-
traordinary company of farceurs, make
an entertainment that is in reality an

that the factions were lining up for the
real fight over the league of nations
covenant.
The outstanding feature of the day
was the announcement by Senator
johnson, Republican, of California,
that he would leave here today for the
Pacific coast to keep up his attack on
the treaty, which was accepted to mean
finally that his proposed amendment to
equalize the voting power of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain would not
be called up for weeks hence.
Next in public interest was the news
that Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of
Arizona, had telegraphed President
Wilson that he would vote for ratifca-
tion of the treaty, believing he could
render the country and the world, he
said, q great service by accepting it as
it is, without amendment or reserva
tion. This definite statement from SEN
ator Ashurst was considered particu-
larly assuring by Democratic leaders
because of persistent reports that he
would oppose the pace in its present
form.
