Women OF the world have played and
are playing a glorious part in this war
for a democracy. That their work is
not merely theoretical, but is. in fact
highly practical. is evidenced by the
announcement that The Young Wom-

four million dollars toward doing en-
clent welfare work among tie girls

At the Pastime

L
While hundreds of picture theatres
all over the country have long ago
raised the prices Of admission, the
Pastime theatre has steadfastly held
to the prices of and 10 cents except
on special occasions, but the time has
come when it is compelled, with all
other places of amusement to raise the
prices On and after November Jst
the prices will be 10 and Is cents ex-
cept when special pictures are run.
This is not mater of choice with the
motion picture people of the country,
but is forced upon them by the law
enacted by Congress which requires
theatres to contribute 10 per cent of
| their gross receipts during the war.
In addition to this 10 per cent tax, an
additional tax of Is cents per reel + as
been added making every theatre run
| ing reel show pay rs cents caily
| additional tax. This does not affect
in any way the war, State, county and
town or city taxes which have already
been paid up to next June. Leaving
off the 10 per cent of gross receipts
taxes on theatres in North Carolina Of
the Pastime class on and after No
vember 1st will be well over $500 pei
annum. These admission prices, Of
course, include all taxes although the
law says the exhibitor shall collec
the tax from the patron. On a 1!
cent admission the government take
IL cents but says the exhibitor cal
charge II cents if he so desires. On
thing to be remembered, every tim
: you visit a picture show you are as
sisting that much in fighting the en-
emy. If you can't go to France yo
can help the cause with your pennies
Y Beginning next Monday the Pastim
will inaugurate newer and better SCI
