\. Y. THEATRE MANAGERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Ligon Johnson,
counsel for the United Managers Pro-
tective Association, Informed 10 yester-
day Of ruling by United States Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue Roper
against the practice OF putting 10
cent valuation on theatre seats allotted
to critics.
Some managers have followed this
procedure with regard TO seats sent
% invited guests, paying TO the Gov
crnmeDt a tax of 1 cent each on tickets
ordinarily valued at 81. instead OF
tax Of 20 cents.
Commissioner Roper said the law
was "clear and unmistakable" and that
"lhis department will prosecute any
person who evades or attempts to
evade the law"
After quoting the law stipulating tax
exemptions, Commissioner Roper said
you will perceive that a person,
unless specifically exempted who is
admitted free and occupies a seat for
which another person pays 81, must
pay a tax Of 4 cent for each 10 cents
or fraction Of the price charged. name
ly 50. The amount Of the tax is clear
and the fact is clear that the law re-
quires the person TO pay the tax who
gains admission, and the person sell
ing the admission is liable % the Gov
ernment for the collection Of the tax"
The exemptions made by the law
are free admissions Of employees,
municipal officers on municipal bust
ness and children under - years.
