For Your Amusement
"Laf That Off" Bright New Comedy of
Three Modern Musketeers at Wallacks Theatre

A smart, laughter laden new COM
edy is Laugh That Off" at Wallacks
Theatre, with Thomas w. Ross, Shir-
ley Booth, Norval Keedwell, Hattie
Foley, Pauline Drake, Alan Bunce
and Wyrley Birch in the leading
roles. Don Mutually, who wrote the
dramatic sensation of last year, Con
SCIENCE" has fashioned the most en-
joyable comedy of the season in a
modern version of three musketeers.
After rim of all summer at the Har-
r1s Theatre in Chicago, "Laff that
Off" came to New York where, If
the enthusiasm of first night audi
ence and the commentator of New
York critics are to be considered a
criterion, it should play until far into
next summer. The lines are bright
and smart while the situations which
arise out of the adoption by the three
young men of young girl one has
found wandering ABOUT the streets,
homeless, friendless and broke are
extremely funny. Into their apart
ment she comes and Immediately the
complications set in. The review In
the New York Tribune says: Girl
and three bachelors produce the COM
edy and the audience produces the
laughs" Alan Dale in the American
said: ''It has merit and moments of
real pathos,' while the critic of the
Evening World included in his re-
view the statement that There are
lines that are genuine gems and ex-
ceedingly funny parts"

What disappointment the Fair
view election proved to some enthusi-
astic folk who insisted that Marmet
was impossible and James F. Lyons
was the whole pudding, cheese, cake
and coffee! Marmet-Mayor Marmet
should congratulate himself that he
is at least alive after all the abuse
he got in the metropolitan" papers
of the section. There are some
things that cannot be squelched and
these include the damphooljackasses

who never wake up to the fact that

BOUQUETS AT WHOLESALE

just what the causes were that led
to the defeat of Arthur Whitney for
governor are more or less specula-
ton. Some have ventured to suggest
that the whole-hearted support of the
Edge machine was lacking, but this
is to be doubted, however, by reason
of the fact that Moore's majority was
less than that given Governor Sllzer
over Judge Runyon three years ago.
Others have intimated that there may
have been collusion on the part of the
Democrats and the New Jersey Anti
Saloon League to throw the indorse-
ment of the latter to Whitney, which
by foregone conclusion would mean
his defeat.-Hackensac Republican,
Englewood Press, Fort Lee Sentinel
of last week.
The Endorsement given to Senator
Mackay on Tuesday was indeed graft
flying. When a senator can go to
Trenton with a majority of $4,000 of
his county constituents behind him he
can indeed be recognized as power.
This is the greatest majority ever ac-
corded candidate for the senate in
the history of the county and may
we'll be interpreted to mean that Ber-
gen is we'll pleased with Mr.. Mackay
and his past achievements
sack Republican, Englewood Press,
Fort Lee Sentinel Of last week.
AS to George P. Nimmo, newly elect
ed sheriff, we have in him man of
intelligence and energy whose devo-
ton to duty as second to Sheriff Fox
during the term of that gentleman,
who may be expected to fill every re-
quirement of the major position to
which he has been called by an admir-
ing constituency. - Hackensack Re-
publican, Englewood Press, Fort Lee
Sentinel of last week.
The assembly candidates, Orison M.
Hurd, John Y. Dater, Ralph w. Chand-
less and James H. White, all seasoned
legislators, were elected on Tuesday
by large majorities. 1t is important
that these men should be returned to
the assembly, for all have proven use
full and constructive in the considera-
ton of matters that have come before
the house of assembly.-Hackensack
Republican, Englewood Press, Fort
Lee Sentinel of last week.
The result of the election so far as
it relates to Jack l.. Fox and George
P. Nimmo is great satisfaction to
the friends of these gentlemen. In
the case of Mr.. Fox it insures con-
tinuance of the important Office of
county clerk under Republican domi-
nance and careful administration for
another five years.-Hackensack Re-
publican, Englewood Press, Fort Lee
Sentinel of last week.

Whitney "Out of Politics"

Having last week been defeated in
the election for Governor, State Sen
ator Arthur Whitney announces that
he is "out of politics" for good, and
like Cincinnatus of old, has retired to
his farm at Mendham. However, in
stead of looking after his cabbages
as did the great Roman, the Senator
is husking corn. He was not willing,

Democratic organization in Hudson
county. When asked whether the re-
suit of the election ought to cause the
Republican party in the state to take,
more liberal view on prohibition,
Senator Whitney declared that that
was matter for the Republican

RUSH NOW ON
Applie estiona For Auto Registrationi
 Pouring In

Approximately four thousand appli. cations for registrations for the year 1926 had been received by the state motor vehicle department up to noon Saturday. Many of those applied in order to avail them selves of the ops uortuuitv to retain their 1925 regis tratiou number. After November i5 no registration numbers will be re- served and holders of low numbers or ans other preferred numbers for 1925 Will have e. take their chances as to new numbers with all other appli- cants. first come first served.
 As the department has been regis tcring motor vehicles for 1926 since the first day of October. the issuing has been done at the rate of about 200 6 day It will have Co be increased to about 2.50O a day for the remainder of the gear if all those who are expect ed t0 want Co drive through the win ter without interruption are to have their machines registered by January
 Judging from the experience of last year. if is estimated tha. applications for the registration of about 100000 motor vehicles will be received by the department up to that time. but the difficulty in the past has been that most of the registrants have delayed until the last few days of the year be- fore applying for renewals with the result that considerable congestion has been caused and the registraHts them selves have been forced te wait in line for hour at a time. In anticipation of a recurrence of this rush, altera- ti8ns To provide three additional regis 1fatian windows have been made in the iasuiHe division of Che department at ahe Capitol. and similar preparations have been made ai the branch offices ia New Haven Bridgeport.
