At first glance it would seem that
a man would be up against a big
proposition if he were On a desert
island with two women, one a bru-
nette and the other a blonde and
10th claiming him for their husband.
In "The Island Of Surprise" at the
Lion .heater today, Cyrus Townsend
Brady has created a wonderful story
from which the Vitagraph company
with such players as VIM Courtney.
Eleanor Woodruff and Zena Feefe in
the leading roles, has made picture
that may DE termed exceptional.
Every situation is we'll handled, the
photography and scenery beautiful
and the thrills, such as a big train
wreck battleships and a fight with
savages are presented in realistic
manner The Island of Surprise
will be seen for the last time at the
Lion today. Monday brings the big
patriotic na-al picture The Hero OF
Submarine d." Everyone should
see it.

than for any previous year. but more
persons are discovering that their In

that they must turn over a certain
part Of them to Uncle Sam.
"tnder the income tax law New York

"a 30 per cent. additional tax. as well
