NOTICE

To Whom it May Concern:
Owing to the revenue tax on all
theatre tickets and reels used in NOV.
ing pictures by the U. 8. Government,
we are forced to raise our admission
fee.
The tax amounts to one cent on
every ten cent ticket and two cents
on every fifteen cent ticket. But to
do away with the bother of handling
pennies, we will ast raise the ten
cent ticket. On the fifteen cent
ticket the raise will be only five cents
so that through the period Of ths
war, adults tickets must be raised to
twenty cents beginning November J,
1917
We regret this is necessary and
trust our patrons will understand
that we do not benefit by 1t, but
that it is one Of the many ways
chosen by the government for in
creasing the war fund.
Let US do our bit cheerfully. These
little taxations mean millions when
gathered all over our country.
