FINE GOWNS WORN IN
FORBIDDEN FRUIT

Gowns Of surprising beauty are
shown in Cecil B. De Miles pro-
duction, forbidden Fruit" which
comes to the American theatre for
two days beginning next Monday,
They were designed by Clare West.
Agnes Ayres, Kathlyn Williams
and Shannon Day play the principal
feminine roles in forbidden Fruit, y
and the major portion of the gowns,
negligees and other appurtenances
of my lady's wardrobe were de-
signed for them.
Perhaps the most striking gown
Ii an ermine and sable negligee
which Miss Ayres wears through
much Of the action. All of Miss
Vests creations are of the ultra
modern, super-fashionable type. OF
another type are the gorgeous cos
tunes Of another period designed
by Theodore Kosloff and executed
by Clare West for the Cinderella
vision which forms an important
part Of the story.

OF Our Uncle Sam

Washington. May G.--sunday clos.
Ing OF movies. soda fountains. tobac.

blue law enthusiasts. would cost tho
federal government nearly 100000
Sunday In reduced taxes. II was
estimated here today on the basis
o. returns of the international Reve-
nue. Bureau.
The loss OF s52,OOO.OOO n year is n
meer drop in the bucket to the gov.
ernment, which last year collected
nearly S5.500.OO0.OO0 In taxes. nc.
cording to blue law proponents. ThiS
shortage could easily be made up
through taxes from other sources.
II Is urged
A federal anti-cigarette law. pro-
posed by those behind the legal puri-
fication movement. would cost the
government approximately sl50.00O,.
0OC year. That was the amount col
lected last year on cigarettes. 4 law
7 forbldding the sale OF tobacco In all
forms would mean loss OF nearly
s.aG.0OO.0O0 year In this connec.
tion II Is disclosed that snuff. so
much affected by our grandfathers,
has not yet completely gone out of
fashion. Snuff taxes last year netted
the government nearly 100000. or
nearly s2OOO,OOO more than the year
before.
Taxes totaling 1868 100000 are
collected directly by the government
on cigarettes. soft drink beverages,
movie admissions and tobacco for
each Sunday of the year. This was
estimated on the basis OF one-seyenth
OF the total tax collections from
these sources, with the exception Of
tobacco. From this source only one
twentieth or per cent, was sub
iractcd, since II IL assumed that
Sunday closing Of tobacco shops
, would not reduce sales in direct pro
