Walter Hampden and Ethel Barry
more have begun a remarkably inter-
esting season in Hamlet" at Hamp-
den's Theatre formerly the ColoniaD
at Broadway and Sixty-second street,
New York, having become co-stars for
the purpose of appearing in a series
of great classic and modern plays. Mr..
Hampden's portrayal of the Royal
Dane has been considered the most in
spired and scholarly of the present
doubted talent and sympathetic per-
sonality help to make this revival a
perfectly rounded presentation OF
Shakespeare's greatest play. Her
Ophelia is properly wistful and
tragic rendition of this pathetic and
fascinating character.
The supporting cast is composed of
seasoned and talented Shakespearean
players, many of whom have been
thus insuring a smooth and perfectly
rounded performance. Albert Brun-
ing's Polonius has received the un-
bounded praise of the critics, some Of
them declaring that this is the first
time that the real humanness and
humor of the Lord Chamberlain's char
acter ever was fully represented. The
Ghost of Max Monitor, the King of
Kenneth Hunter, the Queen of Mary
Hall, the Laertes of Ernest Rowan and
the Horatio of William Sauter have
been given almost equal acclaim. The
production is magnificent but austere
in keeping with the middle age set
ting and spirit of the tragedy.
Mr.. Hampden is making special
point of providing large number of
moderate priced seats at Hampden's
Theatre. There are three hundred at
fifty cents and one dollar-all excel
lent seats from each of which a per-
feet view of the stage may be had and
every word may be heard. The thea
tre is conveniently located, being near
all the principal lines of traffic-west

be inopportune. Ancient history
needs no resurrection now. But 1t is
safe to say a word on the engineers
affairs. Almost everywhere the engi-
neer's Office in municipalities Is the
basis of much contention. Ridgewood
furnishes notable exception, where
the mayor is the engineer as well.
A "salaried engineer" could be very
misleading If the intention is to
have salaried engineer and attach
to him the expensive toll of an engi-
neer's department, it could be very
expensive luxury. The intention of
the plank in the platform, of course,
Is to leave the impression that the
engineers salary is to cover the cost
of all engineering work. But will it?
II the salary of an engineer is to have
several assistants at stipulated sal
aries attached to it, it could be quite
costly indeed. The old talk about en-
gineers being paid the lowest COM
pensation of any profession is now a
thing of the pasta forgotten leg
end. Recalling the fact (or was it
just hearsay?) that the engineers
fee on the Anderson avenue was $685.
900, the cost of this famous mile be-
ing $256000 on an original "low' bid
Of $143,000 one sees that engineers
fees going beyond ten per cent. as in
this Palisade avenue instance, and on
any construction for public works, is
expensive to the last degree.
1t was we'll, therefore, to have a
platform that is of sufficient calibre
to take shot at Yet it would be
difficult indeed to pick single flaw
in this Fort Lee Republican platform.
Plank for plank, it stands out as a
luminous document. All that is need
ed is sincere determination to line
up to it so that in few months no
one can shoot it full of holes. 1t is
an ideal in itself worthy of every
voters consideration IF-and the big
IF is everything.

GOLDEN SUNSET STIRS UP GLOW
IN HEART OF JADED WANDERER

The sun was going down last eve
ming behind a shrouded sky. In the
shadow of the towering stone arch of
Brooklyn Bridge the wind from the
East River felt cold. He leaned on
the rail, shabby hat pushed back
from his worn and stubbly face. Like
the little group behind him, his eyes
were on the flaming clouds. He spoke
in a squeaky whisper.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
A voice answered him.
"Yes, beautiful
AS if invited to say more, he spoke
again, but his eyes clung to the
changing sky.
"Ive rambled," the thin voice went
on, "all my life. I'm seventy, and
that's no short time. I guess I've
rambled all around the world. But
this is beautiful"
He shrugged, by habit taught,
against the cold.

A STUDY IN SCARS

ANY man of medicine will tell you
that scar tissue does not function, but
this saying serves only to prove that
scientists do not look beyond the
rules.
Consider the trees. One grows
straight and clean and fine, without
q scar or a limb within forty feet of
the ground. It's wood is useful, but
contains no more elements of beauty
than desert landscape. Cabinet-mak-
ers scorn 1t.
Another tree meets with adversely.
Something scars 1t. 1t puts on limbs
that 1t cannot support and these die
and fall, leaving empty sockets. AS
the years pass. the tree covers these
blemishes with its bark and those
who rest In it's shade are not aware
of them, but observe only the proud
spread OF limbs above; but the scars
are there, and when the tree is cut
the scars begin to function.

and splashes of color, and this is the
grain that makes wood beautiful. Ma
ture does not employ straight lines to
achieve her effects.
Men arc much like trees. A few
grow up straight and true, without a
scar or blemish that needs concealing,
and in a perfect world all would be
like these, and their perfection, lack
ing contrast wherewith to exalt itself,
would remain tolerable. But in an i'm
perfect world those who are unscarred
are prone to be too rigid and uncom-
promising.
The average man--how we'll Walt
Whitman served us with that express
n!-the average man Is SCARED by
his follies and his weaknesses. The
years may hide the record of his
faults, but when he has an hour for
introspection he contemplates the
scars and from them learns humility.
He cannot be the man he might have
been, for a scar Is q scar and line
that is written Is written, but the
blemishes that trouble his soul have
not been turned to account by a
scheme OF things that does not toler-
ate waste.
His scars function. They are the
source of his charity, his tolerance
and his compassion.

CONCERNING JOE WooDcocK

Joseph Woodcock, candidate for re-
election to the council board, stands
on his record. There has never been
more conscientious councilman
than Mr.. Woodcock. He does things.
He has made real department of
the police force, always insisting up
on efficiency. His police department
today is thoroughly equipped to give
service. The morale of his men is
higher today than ever before be-
cause he keeps them satisfied.
Mr.. Woodcock has initiated modern
methods of road maintenance and has
been largely responsible for the Cliff
side Park department OF public works
which today is scientifically equipped
to repair our roads and designed to
maintain roads and their construction
because that is his business.
His record in regard to the West
Grantwood sewer situation is highly
commendable and his recommends.
tions, which are now being consider.
ed by the mayor and council, will
eventually relieve entirely conditions
in that part of the town.
All this good energetic service is
a tribute to Mr.. Woodcock's thorough
ness-his fitness for his office as
councilman, and for his reasons for
his seeking reelection.
Shall we allow man who does
things as Mr.. Woodcock does them
10 slip out of public life. Shall we
allow Mr., Woodcock to be displaced
by man of lesser ability--or lesser
foresight--a man who is inexperi-
enced? Shall we sacrifice truly eff
ficient councilman for an experiment?
Keep Mr.. Woodcock there for he does
