Notes of the Theatre

| "Salome," which comes to the Jeffer-
| son theatre this month, is pronounced
the most daring and at the same time
most beautiful contribution to = the
American stage. There is no need to
go into details relative to the story of
/ "Salome." Most every one is TO a de-
gree familiar with that fascinating epi-
sode and were it presented simply as a
drama 1t would create sensation.
Given a softening touch by the beauti-
full music of Massenet. with rich stage
settings and presented by large COM
pany Of people, it is little wonder that
it has proved the talk of the country.
Mutt and jeff will be here the lat
ter part of the month at the jefferson

for Pavlowa's engagement at the JEFF

They say politics makes strange bed
fellows but the political game has a
close second in modern vaudeville. An
apt illustration of this fact Is SHOWN by
the case of Colonel Pattee and Captain
SAVERS, who are members of the 'Old
Soldier Fiddlers," who play a special
engagement at the Orpheum theatre
soon. Fifty years ago both these men
| participated In the great battle of Get
| tysburg Their own regiments were
| opposed to one another and in many of
the fierce charges in that fight there Is
no doubt but that Colonel Pattee and
| Captain SAVERS were often in close
proximity 1t would have been sure
death to have even intimated TO either
of them that at that time there was a
possib ibility of their appearing together

under a northern flag. But today the

One of the most wonderful trained
baboons in the world is feature. New

that no other baboon has ever been
able to do, such for instance as per-
forming all kinds of feats on horse
back, bareback. The baboon also rides
in the cage of death, dangerous for a
human being, but doubly remarkable
for an animal of the baboon family.
He circles this small amphitheatre on d
bicycle at breakneck speed and defies
death, something that no other animal
has ever been trained to do. Several
years ago a sensation was created at
the Orpheum when people rode in the
cage of death, and no one ever sup
posed that baboon could be trained
to perform this way. Children by the
hundreds will want to see this animal.

BIJOU OFFERING
Sequel to Three Weeks" Has Packed
Every House on Wells Circuit.
At Bijou This Week

The sequel to Three Weeks" which
has been drama tized by Cecil Spooners
comes to the Bijou this week, ard al
ready the. large advance sale of tickets
for the Monday night performance has
been made. For dramatic interest,
for a thrilling love story and for 4
tragic end. it is claimed that no play of
the year equals this, and the manage
ment has produced 1t in a style that
is elaborate and far above what is u.s.
ually offered on the popular priced cir
cult Many newspapers in the country
have praised the cast and its excellence.
Without fail they have spoken of the
merit of the play itself and Miss
.Spooners skill in converting the8book
into a play. One Day is particularly
strong as a matinee attraction and it
will pack the Bijou for the matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Every newspaper on the circuit has
declared this to be the strongest drama
of the season, and with equal unanim-
ity they have praised the company as
being we'll balanced, capable and effect
i've. A typical criticism of the play
and company is as follows from the
Washington Times of recent date:

But since Mr.. Savages success with
his attempt to stage the famous Max

such prospective difficulties could be
expected to daunt him. The results, IL
reports are to be credited are much
more brilliant than the same Maxim 5

The second act of Little Boy Blue"
is laid in the Scottish Highlands and
shows the exterior of an ancient High
land castle. Stretching away from the
front of the pile is a furze covered

WILL TAX THE BIG INCOMES
TARIFF REVISION BILL PROVIDES
A GRADUATED SCALE.
The Administration Expects to Get
$100,000,000 in Revenue From
This Source

Washington, APR. S.-Included in
the Democratic tariff revision bill in
troduced in congress is an income tan
section which would require every
resident of the United States who
earns more than $4,000 year to pay
tax of / per cent on his earnings
in excess of the exemption.
This would not require the man who
earns only $4,000 to pay tax, but il
would demand that the individual who
earned s4,100, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax OF per cent on 500, or 81.
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding surtax of
per cent additional on earnings in ex
cess OF $4,000; 2 per cent additional
on earnings in excess of $4,000, and
per cent additional on earnings in
excess of 100000.
Under the surtax provision the man
who earns only 100000 would pay tc
the government each year at the rate
of 1 per cent on $4,000 $4,000 ex
empt), or $780, If he earns 100000 he
would pay 1 per cent on $4,000 still
and 2 per cent on $4,000. thus max
ing his annual tax $500. The person
with a $4,000 income would pay
per cent on $4,000 and per cent on
$3O,oOO-a total tax of $780, The
man with an income of 100000 would
be required to pay per cent on SIG,
900, per cent on $4,000 and 8 per
cent on $4,000, which would be
s1,50, bringing his total income tax
to $o,2G0 The individual with a net
income of million would pay this
1920 on his first 100000 and in ad.
dition he would pay per cent on
100000, which would bring his total
tax to $3S,26o.
The bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law imposing
I per cent tax on the earnings of
corporations, stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like, but it
would exempt partnerships. This is a
fiat tax, there being no graduated
scale as the earnings increase. The
few changes from the present corpor-
alton tax act, concern chiefly the time
of making returns and the time for
collection.
The bill also includes under it's pro-
visions the property and earnings in
this country of persons who live
abroad.
