HON. Tinney Makes
Cyclonic Change

Watching Frank Tinney doing quick
cnange in his dressing room at the Sell
wyn Theatre Is like viewing prize
fighter in one of his spasms between
rounds. He rushes in after his black
face scene, hurls his cap into a corner
regardless of whether it can ever be
salvaged again from the midst of the
heap Of costumes-rips off his coat and
shirt and virtually does an Annette Kel-
hermann into the wash basin in another
corner.
The way he sloshes the water around
makes one think the Johnstown dam
has burst again. Meanwhile his dresser
is tanning him with the frenzy or a
boxers second. A friend of the dresser
there is usually one such hanging
about for it seems to take whole team
to get Frank ready-hovers around
agitatedly like min stering angel. get
ting in every one else's way success
fully.
The actor is now lathering his face
as though he wanted to develop a head
like that of one of the bygone schooners.
Next he begins spong ng the burnt cork
off with the concentrated fury of
shampooing barber who expects a larger
tip If he brings his victim nearer to
deaths door One waits to see the
dresser slap the customary hot towel
shroud on the Tnney countenance.
Finally Tinney comes TO the surface for
air. The visitor changes his opinion and
decides that after all the star does look
like human be ng.
All this riot is necessary every day

sisted on laying aside his ebony aspect
for part of his working hours and join
ing the great Caucasian race again.
His reputation was made in backface,
and it's, a lot of trouble getting under
his dark skin during performances. but
it's worth II, because now he can treat
his audiences white.
"You see in blackface." says Tinney,
"I could cnly so so far and then l ran
up against the color line.
$50. as there was no future in black
face. l tried white face and got away
with it. At least, that's what my
friends say--and that's whole lot from
your friends.
ITS harder to get a laugh in white
face, but a good comedian doesn't need
a red nose to be funny. You can get
plenty of spoken material. but when
they hand you a line like The high
priest waits outside the temple door,
it's your job to develop the business and
the manner of saying it that will make
it raise a big breeze. You have to get
your laughs the instant you step on the
stage-thats why l come on smoking
two cigars at once. But it's a great
' tonic going after the laughs, and no
matter how low ! may feel when I
come on, can always work myself
into a good humor just by trying to put
the audience in the same boat"

A. n. Logan, local internal revenue
collector says Richmond taxpayers
will be affected very little by the re-
cent decision of the supreme court,
making profits realized from the sale
of capital assets taxable.
Its chief effect" he said, will be
to relieve the claims department of a
vast amount of claims for refundlns
of back taxes which would undoubted-
ly have been filed had an adverse de-
cision been rendered"
Many local people who have been
holding paper profits" and contem-
plating the sale of certain assets as
soon as the government took off this
tax undoubtedly will retain their hold
ings rather than pay the tax. he said.
According to the findings of the de-
csion, all profits realized from the in
crease in value of capital assets, will
be taxable.
Waiting for Decision.
This is in accordance with the &C
ton which has been followed by the
government in taxing property hold
ers in the past Had the law been in
terpreted in the other way, it is quite
probable many citizens would have
sold out their holdings and "cashed in"
on their profits.
AS such profit would be taxed very
heavily. it is now probable their own
ers will continue to hold the property,
preferring to do this rather than turn

ENGLAND INDICATES
ACTION OF MILITARY

LONDON, March 29-The govern

the affair at Mallow, Ireland, Jan. 81,
when several railway men were shot
by officers who were attempting to
run down the party of assassins which
had wounded Captain King, distric<
inspector, and had shot his wife dead.
The white paper shows that the court

waymen had not been improperly
dealt with.

King and his wife, rushed to the NAL

legged they were fired upon and then
opened fire, their fusillades killing
one railway, employe who ran up the
tracks and wounding several others
who accompanied him, one of these

great commotion among British rail

ANOTHER COLD SNAP
PROMISED TONIGHT;
. DAMAGE NOT SERIOUS
(By Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, March 90 Fruit
was damaged in many places in In.
diana as result OF last nights cold,
according to reports received here
today. a.
While the cold was causing fruit
growers worry it was welcomed by
lowland jewellers as it caused the
waters in swollen streams to recede.
Some bridges were reported as having
been washed out and traction service
was still hindered today. The local
weather bureau predicted the cold
spell would be brief but warned that
the temperature would drop again to-
night close to the freezing point. Sew
eral more brief cold snaps are to be
expected, 1t was said.
Contrary to other authorities the
weather bureau declared that damage
to early crops would not be as serious
as some persons believed. The opin-
ion was based, it was said, on tests
made by the department of agricul-
ture. These tests are said to have
proved that fruit can withstand a tenn
perature of 17A degrees when the
blossoms are in color.

few INCOME TAXPAYERS OF RICHMOND ARE
Affected BY new SUPREME COURT RULING

over a considerable portion of its in
creased value to the government in the
form of taxes.
Cites an Instance
One instance cited was that of a
person who had intended to sell some
farm land at $500 per acre. Figures
compiled by government agents
showed that he would have to pay ap-
proximately $23 per acre as tax. He
decided not to sell.
Paper profits an element which
has been held in the background since
the war, while the holders of the high
priced securities have been receiving
dividends will probably not be realized
now, in view of the fact that the own
ers are likely to retain their holdings.
Farmers whose land has increased
in value need fear no increased taxa
ton as result of the ruling, unless
they sell the land, thus "cashing in
on the increase. This also applies to
all persons holding bonds and stocks
that have increased in value in the
past few years.
