Strand Has
Snappy Bill
10 10 Harrison Scores
With His Songs; Other
Program Features.

The management OF the Strand
Theater did not overrate their cur
rent weeks offering of vaudeville
and pictures as presented yesterday
when they announced an all-star
program.
Miss frankie Wilson, pretty and
easy to look at, opens the>vaude-
Vile half of the program in an un-
usual novelty called "A Modern
Mirage" in which the young lady.
posed in the center of a large screen,
becomes the living portion of beau
tiful scenes thrown upon the sheet.
Cotton Allen and Mae Moore,
musical comedy stars, were most
enthusiastically received in their
latest presentation, "A Breeze From
the Seasons Hits" consisting of
songs and specially dancing rem
dered in a highly artistic manner.
Roy Gordon and Nell Healy won
their audience with their song and
chatter presented under the title of
Welded Pliss." 1t remained, how
ever, for 10 10 Harrison to score the
hit of the performance, assisted by
an artist at the piano whose name
the program does not carry, but
who enhanced the enjoyment of the
rumber greatly by his songs.
The Four Casting Lloyds. one of
the best numbers of this character
seen here in months, close this por-
ton of the bill. their aerial tumbling
being of a highly spectacular and
thrilling nature.
Sessue Hayakawa, the popular
screen star, again proves that he is
an actor of rare ability and dra-
matte powers. in "the First Born"
a Robertson-Cole special which is
presented as the main photo dra-
matte offering for the week. The
picture is a film version of Francis
Powers story of the same name. 1t
tells in simple way of the love
of a young boatman of the Hoang-
Ho River in China for a beautiful
little Chinese maiden, Loey Using.
When she is taken from him am
sold to a rich merchant in San
Francisco he follows.in an attempt
to find her. His search, marriage
to another Chinese girl; the arrival
of Chan Toy, the first born;" his
love for the baby, and his moments
of grief when the boy dies, all make
striking scenes.
Short film subjects of an amusing
and educational nature, with special
orchestral numbers arranged by
Arthur J. Maxwell. and an overture,
Railroad Blues" complete a bill
worthy OF attention.

Conmittee Divided
Although a considerable number
of witnesses hafe appeared during
the past week in support Of a sales
tax. the impression given at the
hearings has been that a majority
of the committee will not favor IT.
Senator Smoot, Of U.ah. is the one
member who is actively for a turn
over tax of / per cent. Senator
Watson. of Indiana. has shown an
inclination toward a sales tax No
ether Republican has Indicated by
questions a pronounced view IN
favor of a sales tax.
That the majority Of the commit
tee will favor the repeal Of the ex-
cess profit tax is unquestioned al
though the representative Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
urged its retention. The issue rea-
ative TO the sales has developed not
so much on the question Of whether
IL should be the substitute for ting
excess profits tax as on the question
of whether IL should be used TO rs-
place the miscellaneous excise tan
as well. as the excess profits tax-st
seeks Price Effects.
Senator Mclean of Connecticut. a
Republican member Of the Finance
Co1mittee, is seeking additions1
light on what the effect Of the pro-
posed new forms of taxation will be
on prices. He has shown some inn
patience with supporters of the sales
tax for failure to demonstrate the
precise effect on prices Of the re-
peal of the excess profits tax and
substitution of a general turnover
tax.
Early in the hearings one OF the
sales tax witnesses declared that the
Department of Justice had estimat-
ed that the excess profits tax had
Increased the cost Of living % per
cent The Senators have tried TO
trace this down with the result that
il developed that the % cents was
found to represent the tax content
of every dollar expended. including
all forms Of Federal, State and mu-
nicipal taxation.

The spur for all his efforts is an
American girl who has been brough,
