Big Rush for 1924
Auto Registrations
Begins at the Dent.

Wednesday was an exceedingly busy
Gay in the big rush for 1924 auto reg
tstrations at the office Of the secretary
OF state. From the fact that only four
more business days remain in this year.
It Is anticipated that each will bring in
9 greatly increased volume Of applica-
tons. But in spite Of this. great
many people who desire to continue to
operate their automobiles through the
winter will be crowded out If they are
counting on a last-minute effort to Sc
cure their registrations, with the re-
suit that they will not have the right
to use their cars on the public high
ways during the first few days Of the
new year.
! Having maintained since December
10 force Of extra clerks to handle the
Tegistration rush. thus affording am
Die opportunity to all who desired to
arrange their registrations, the depart
ment will not ask the police to ex-
tend the period for the use of 1928
number plates. The 1924 markers will
go into effect at midnight December
81 and persons operating motor vehi-
eles with 1923 markers after that time
will be liable to prosecution.

reported last week that applications
did not come in as rapidly as desired.
The same has been true in previous
years, the great majority of the appli-
cants leaving the matter of their car
registrations to the last few days Of
the year, which makes the line IF sp-
plicants SO long that many persons
who could have applied earlier often
resent the fact that they are Obliged
to wait in line for some time before
they can reach the registration clerks.

Supreme Love Story Pictured in
"Merry Go Round"

Filmed at Universal City under
the direction of Rupert Julian, who
has made some of the outstanding
Universal successes of past years,
"Merry Go Round" embodies a num-
Der of high class elements in mo-
ton picture industry.
The story is, simple and powerful,
a love tale supported by glimpses
into the life of Austria before, dur
ing and after the war. Several men
who had lived for years in the ia
nous old world capital helped in
securing realism in the scenes of vi
emma.
What the great world-war meant
to the love affair of a high-born
count and a poor girl of the Prater,
the Coney Island of Vienna. is told
dramatically in merry Go Round"
the multiple reel screen feature COM
ing to the Opera house next week.
The cast includes Mary Philbin,
Cniversals big find" of the year.
Norman Kerry, George Iackathorne,
Dale Fuller, Cesare Gravina, George
Siegmann. Dorothy Wallace. Sidney
Bracy, Edith Yorke, Lillian Sylves-
ter, AL Edmundson, Maurice Talbot,
Fenwick 'Oliver and others of high
professional standing-one Of the
big casts of the screen year.
The chief setting of the story is
the Prater, where clown clothes hid
aching hearts and smiles covered
tragedies. The people of the famous
American carnival center. Coney
Island, have proven interesting to
many writer's, and those of the Pra-
ter have the same faults, virtues
and foibles.. Merry Go Round" is
a cross section of portion of life
not familiar to the world in general,
but with it's counterpart in some
sense in Coney Island.-Adv.

called. without exaggeration, an epoch
making picture.
When Preferred Pictures Corpora
tion announced. some time ago.. that
they intended making a film version
of 1.-THE virginian," people were du-
bious about it. So many great sto-
rfes. SO many classic master
pieces, have been butchered and ruined
by filming that those who have loved
Owen Wister's great story feared that
the picture might not do it justice.
They may rest assured. The picture
is better than the book. This may
seem a startling statement. when 1t is
realized that 1.-THE Virginian" has
been for 20 years the supreme master
piece of the west.
The situations which in cold TYPE
have thrilled millions are more than
realized in the picture. Against the
most magnificent natural backgrounds
ever seen in a motion picture, this
mighty drama is enacted by a cast SO
good that the story might have been
written for them,-Adv. .,....... L.. /.
