Great Pictures Coming.

The management wishes to an
nounce the coming of the new Art
craft, Goldwin Select and New Para
mount pictures. These pictures have
ne isr been shown IN RRkis6..ss2 Il They
are the highest priced films produced
today. They cost just about three
times the amount Of the regular fea-
lures which we now show. The first
Aircraft production will be shown on
Tuesday, Nov. 9th, and they will be
shown every Tuesday and Thursday
thereafter.
Such we'll known stars and plays as
Mary Garden in "Thais;" Mary Pick
ford in "Rebecca of Sunny Brook

Moth;" Douglas Fairbanks in "The
Man from the Painted PAST" Mae

NJ. Cohan in "The Seven Keys to Bald
Pate" "The Garden of Allah;" Ger
aldine Farrar in "The Woman God
Forgot" and Alice Joyce in "Within
the Law" are some of the many ia
nous stars and plays that will be
seen here in the next few months.
These pictures are not ordinary
features, but they are productions
now being shown in the big cities al
an admission of no less than 25 cents
and as high as 81.
No other town the size of Richmond
in the United States, is showing these
pictures, because they cannot afford
the enormous rental price, but the
management of the local theatres
wishes to give their patrons the best
money can buy, and We hope our pa
irons will make every effort to help
support these big pictures when they
are shown here.
There will be no advance in prices
for these featurse so you should make
it your business to see every one o1
them.
Remember the first one is to be
shown Tuesday, November 9Th. The
star and subject will be announced
later.
These pictures also include such
famous stars as Julian Eltinge, VIM
S. Hart, Billy Burke, Jack Pickford

Important Announcement
By Picture Show Management-Some
Great Pictures Coming.

October Goth, 1917.
To the Patrons of the Alhambra and
Opera House:
The war has hit the motion picture
theatres very hard and a large per-
centage of the smaller houses will
no doubt be driven out of business.
There is a tax on the seating capa-
city of $3.50; the new tax on admis-
sions of one cent on a five cent ticket,
one cent on a 10 cent ticket, and two
cents on a fifteen cent ticket; the
war income tax and the surtax on
profits; a fifteen cent war tax on ev-
cry roll of film we show; tax on the
express packages; telephone and tele-
graph messages; city. county and
state taxes.
In addition to these extraordinary
burdens Of taxation every single thing
needed for the motion picture enter.
tainment has gone up in price. The
cost of raw stock has increased; the
cost of production has increased; the
operating expenses have increased
and labor costs more than ever.
The management of this theatre
proposes to meet its obligations II
the government cheerfully and con
scientiously and we will attempt II
keep the admission price at and II
cents at the Alhambra, and 5, 10 ant
Is cents at the Opera House, just th'
same as before and pay the war ia,
ourselves. This can be done, we think
by eliminating the orchestra and b!
support from the Richmond public
Otherwise the war tax will certainl!
force US to raise the admission pric,
to 20 cents at nights, or close up tn,
shows.
The law plainly states: Section 10
War Tax Law: "The tax is to b
paid by the person paying for sucl
admission" But we try to pay thil
tax without a raise in admission. w,
wish to thank you for your past gen
erous support
