The attraction at the Majestic !
Theatre to-day is a five-reel play,
pntitlpd "T.it-.t.lp Shops'" ThisI
picture should be seen by all the
little folks as it will highly please

play the leading roles and
the story is different to any in

bushels from this particular lot

Tax Hits "Movies" Hard.
Mr. J. Q. Wray, manager of
the Star Theatre, at Yorkville,
had this to say to The Enquirer
about the war tax on his thektre;
"The war tax puts us to where
we have had to raise the price of
ordinary admission to 10 and 15
cents. It is either that or quit
and there is no other way for it.
The tax hits us first on. the
chairs. That has been from the
beginning. In our nlace it
amounts to $12.50 a year. Next
we have to pay 4 cents each way
or 8 cents on each 75 cents the
express company charges us for
I transportation. Then, there is
/
, ?;
a film tasc of 15 cents ft reel* or
75 cents for each fire reels.
Then, there Is a tax of 1 cent on
each admlFS on of 10 cents or under,
a tax ot 2 cmts on from 15
tn 90 p<?nto nnH a tor nf 9 nanfo
on each admission of from 25 to
90 cents. There is no other way
to get at it except by charging
an admission of 10 and 15 cents
for ordinary occasions?the increase
to take care of other taxes
along with the admission taxes."
The Majestic Theatre in this
city is. of course, called upon to
pay the same tax that the Yorkville
theatre and theatres in all
