TO FORCE MANY
THEATERS TO CLOSE

ALBANY, August 8.-Small thea
ters will practically all be put out of
business and others will operate I'M
der a serious handicap if the proposed
seat tax of 5 per cent is levied by the
general assembly, according to Al
bany exhibitors
A. c. Gortatowsky, of Gortatowsky
Brothers, which operates the Liberty
Theater, a motion picture house, and
the Auditorium. legitimate house
here, declared that the tax will not
only force many small picture houses
to close, hut will absolutely spell the
end of high cass theatrical attrac-
tons in a town the size of Albany,
which has in the past seen some of
the best offerings that have come
South. On MANY legitimate perform
ances, Mr.. Gortatowsky declared, 5
per cent is about all the local mana
ger gets.
There is only one relief, Mr.. Cor
tatoWski declared, and that is to pass
the tax on to the already overtaxed
public, and there is doubt as to this
being an actual relief. as increased
prices will mean decreased business
and closing of doors.
MANY small town theaters are
Just hanging on now,' Mr.. Gorta-
towski declared. "and the imposition
of this additional tax will simply
mean that they will have to go out
of business, for they can not pay il
themselves, and to attempt to pass il
on to the public will mean such loss
| Of business that they can. not con
tinue"
Theaters are already paving to the
state a special tax of $12 a%year. ii
addition to a half dozen oc more
other taxes levied by theH staEes the
federal government, the eitE%affa thu
county. Mr.. Gortatiwsky declared
"If this new tax is levied" he eontin
ued, "a motion picture house in cit!
the size of Albany will have to do !
business of $4,000 a year to SURVIVE
it and break even"
After all. according to Mr.. Gorta
twoskv, it will depend upon the PEG
pie who sent the representatives anC
senators to Atlanta to decide whethe
this tax is levied for an organized
protest from them will forestall it
"Of course" he said, people don
have to have amusements and coult
survive the closing of every picture
show and legitimate house in tbs
state. but very few of them would
relish the prospect"

ATLANTA, August S.-The ways
of woman are many and strange AL

NIT the truth of this.
So it should not be surprising to
learn of the queer turn the latest
styles for milady has taken. Yet not
only are the Whitehall and Peach
tree flappers III CONSERVATION over

young tea hounds-the cute things
and old dears-are sadly comment
ing on the passing of the "seemore
gowns.
IT'S a sad tale. The government
has removed intoxicating beverages.
Now the state is about to place tax
on movies. But one of the inves-
crates declared this morning, he
would leave the country when his
Coca-Cola is taken from him. Such
is the life of the tea-hound.
But to get back to the real object
of this story. Partisan styles provide
that:
Skirts shall be no more than six
inches from the ground. And the
collars shall be high. Arms shall be
covered.
The whatever they may be.
it matters not-shall be long, loose
and straight. Of you are stout,
you're out of luck.)
These commandments were handed
down almost unanimously by the
French celebrated modistes, and were
exemplified at the fall openings of
leading establishments.
But they left a tiny bit of sun
shine. There will be one exception
This will be a gown with tight cor
sage and panier skirt, intended to be
in light colors, the whole effect of

cence.I
Not much cheer in this for the

youth must have its fling, and with

Black, gray, tan, khaki Sand all
shades of brown, with only% an &C.
casional flash of color at. collar or

you should be of a reckless nature,
fur trimmings will be permitted.
These areN the orders. sent out by
the French. Maybe the American
woman will assert her independence,
and continue her styles as of the late
past.
AS an American man, the writer
would not venture story on women's
styles if it were not for the fact that
he's so tired of state politics and
the ways of lawmakers.
