URGES ABOLITION OF

Movement to Influence Congress

Necessity

Returns from nearly every state in
the Union show strong sentiment in
favor of repeating taxes on motion pic :
lures, according to an announcement
made by Louis F. Blumenthal, chair
man of the tax committee of the Motion
Picture Exhibitors of America. Thou
sands of petitions from movie patrons
are now being received in Congress ask
ing for the repeal of the taxes.
The patrons of movies look upon
their amusements as necessity" Mr..
Blumenthal said. The passing of the
saloon has made it apparent that the
movie house is to become an integral
part of the civic life of the communi =
ties. To tax admission to such places
is a matter which the national and
state legislators are giving thought to. -
According to Mr.. Blumenthal it Is
likely that the movement to re-

OPERA IN VAUDEVILLE
Keith Act Features Songs and I'm
presentations Of Stars

Even the most enthusiastic lover of
opera has never even dreamed of a per-
formance in which Caruso, Destinn,
Martinelli, Mary Garden, Tctrazzini.
plancon, Scotti, John Mccormack,
Louis Homer and Geraldine Farrar
would appear on the stage at one time.
For many reasons such an aggregation
of operatic stars would be impossible
but Nine. Dorec has, in a way, ac
cOmplished this seeming impossibility by
arranging a production for vaudeville
She has assembled a company of vocal
lists and these singers impersonate song
birds of grand opera and the concert
stage. They are called Nine. Doree's
Celebrities and will appear as one of
the feature offerings at Keith's the com
ing week.
The effect is most realistic. 1t is
not gained so much by the presenta
tion of arias, ETC., from grand opera
with which the artists are most easily
identified, but by the adequate voices of
the singers. Nine. Doree has for some
time specialized in operate singing acts
in vaudeville, but her present organiza =
tion is composed of the last singers she
has had under her management.
