THINGS NECESSARY TO
SECURE AUTO LICENSE

number of persons who have gone
to the office of James A. Howell, dep
uty assessor, for the purpose of maxi
ing application for 1927 automobile
licenses have been unable to do so be-
cause they had not provided themselves
with information necessary to make
out the applications, Howell stated
Friday Howell remarked on the fact
that many people are unable to give
the number of their 1926 licenses. and
that many others come to the office
without their certificates of title.
For the information of persons maxi
ing applications for licenses, Howell
makes the following statement: ITO
make application for license, it is alb
solute1y necessary for the applicant TO
produce his certificate of title. Usu-
ally the certificate shows the serial
and engine numbers, but if it does not,
these. are necessary, In addition, it is
necessary to know the horsepower and
m6del number of the car, both of which
can be secured from the dealer who
sold the car, or any dealer handling
similar cars.
The payment of automobile taxes
for 1927 is required before license
can be issued, but in the case of prop
erty owners the tax on the car can be
assessed against the property. How
ever, persons who own property and
wish to have their car tax assessed
against it must be able to give the

Frances Larison meant to the musi-
cal comedy pickles. and to the
audience which watched her, as &
gypsy girl, as a whirling, spinning
Spanish dancer and in the romantic
and passionate love scenes OF the
show After all, the beauty of Miss
Larison's work was i'm it's simplicity
and directness, the lack of affecta
ton and i'm that smile" One might
have counted the times the leading
lady smiled during the performance
upons ones fingers, but the audience
applauded every time.
James Mcclure played tho part
of Jonas Pennington, the Pickle
king, and his only chance to really
express the part was in the closing
scenes. He did not neglect his
opportunity.
Wesley Schlotzhauer, in the part
of Hans Maier, the innkecper
worked hard to start the per-
Torrance and did justice to his few
lines, which, however were impor-
tant ones.
Betty Vaughn, whose appearances 9
on the scene were few and far be-
tween and whose parts were short,
as Louisa, a waitress, was one of the
really unusual bits in 81 unusual play
Her costume was low Dutch with
high colors. Her tpart was that of
a dumb Dora" and her excellent
portrayal of the part proved her
keen intelligence.
Henry Borcherding, as Captain
Kinski OF the Vienna detectives,
played opposite the Dutch waitress
He also played in nearly every scene
OF the show, had numerous speaking
parts and several settings calling
for dramatic action, ana IN every
instance he deported himself as IL
he had been a captain of detectives
al his life.
Archie Beard and william Bouldir
played walters and their costumes
NAV be added to the list Of ogod
things in the show, along with the
American artist and the Vienna de"
tective force.
All that can be said about the
chorus costumes and the genera!
appearance of the ensemble portions
OF the show would be that the besr
theatres in the larger cities do not
produce anything any better.
The directors were: Muse anG
