STATE THEATER TAX
IN EFFECT SEPT. |
New Britain People Will Pay
5 Per Cent More

Theater goers in the city of New
Britain as we'll as those in other towns
and cities about the state will soon be
required to pay an extra five per cent
state tax on all admission tickets pur-
chased for theaters. Although it is said
petitions containing $4,000 names
were sent to Governor Lake to veto
the bill, the bill will go into effect
September 1. Hundreds of petitions
were signed in New Britain, cards be-
ing issued at the Lyceun, Palace and
Fox theaters
The state tax on amusem ents is five
per cent. The federal tax is ten per
cent and after the first of next month
the people who attend the theaters
will be obliged to pay fifteen per cent.
The amount will have to be added to
the ticket making Is cent ticket 80
cents instead of % as at present. The
tax of course on tickets cannot De
made the same, as there are fractions
of cent at times, but the theater
managers must figure on getting an
extra Is per cent on every dollar they
take in.
Worse Than Motorists
Theater managers declare that they
are worse off than motoists insofar as
tax subjects are concerned. They
claim they have nearly dozen Ii
censes and taxes to pay before they
can do business. State Tax Commits
sioner William H. Blodgett has sent
to theater owners questionnaires
which are to be filed out in compli-
ance with the new law.
All theaters of the state operating
under articles of incorporation are
Placed in Glass A; those conducted by
partnership are in Glass B; those op-
Grated by individuals are in Class G..

ticket sales are required as the first
information. The theaters will be
defined as motion pictures" for those
presenting a screen program only +;
combination, for those presenting
pictures with vaudeville and occas-
icnal legitimate attractions and '1e-
climate for those presenting plays
only.
With the exception of the Scenic, all
OF the New Britain theaters are class
ed as combination houses. Under the
law, the five percent tax must be col
lected on all tickets wherever sold,
and for this reason theaters having
other places than the box Office for
the sale of seats are required to re
port. Except in the larger cities, few
outside Offices will be found
Motion picture men point out that
as a result of the law they will have
an additional expense for ticket print
ing. Tickets will have to specify the
regular admission, the federal tax,
the state tax and the total amount OF
the tickets. The numbering of tickets
serially is required by the govern
ment and the state tickets will prob
ably not differ much from the pres
ent ones, other than in size.
