Movie Admission Now
Costs Seventeen Cents

Managers of motion picture theat-
ers in the central part of the city
to-day announced an increase in ad-
mission prices to seventeen cents
The admission for adults had been
fifteen cents. This latter price was
adopted when the war tax on theat-
ers went into effect.
At a meeting of the managers il
was decided that soaring costs to Sc
cure film releases, and high operat-
ing expenses, made the second in
crease in admission necessary. The
increase of salaries and production al
the studios has thrown a heavy bur-
den on theater owners, the manag-
ers said, and the cost of keeping
their theaters in operation, they
think, warranted their increase in
the admission prices.

At the Thurstons' apartment,

rang the bell and they were ad-

maid in a French cap and fluffy
apron. Sounds of merriment could
be heard from the front, and as
Helen was ushered into Mrs. Thurs
