''LIGHTNIN'" PLAYS z
DAYS At THE GRAND

"Lightnin'," the play that is loved
and eagerly awaited wherever the
English language is spoken, will at
last be introduced to the smaller
cities on tour. With Thomas Jeffer-
sen, Bessie Bacon, Charles F. Evans
and the most brilliant cast that John
Golden has yet assembled for pre-
sentation of the famous comedy
classic, it will be seen at the Grand
theater, Sunday and Monday, June
90 and 80
Described as a play for all classes
of theatergoers, "Lightnin' is the
work of Winchell Smith and the late
Frank Bacon, and has won a deserv-
ing and lasting place upon the Amer
lean stage. Tenderly true in its
pathos, forceful in its DRAMA. and
gentle yet keen in its satire-it is
brimful of delightful entertainment
providing one of those evenings in
the theater that are all too rare.
"Lightnin' acquires its title from
its central character, "Lightnin' Bill
! Jones'" Shiftless, good-natured, bragg
| ging and somewhat of a tippler,
Lightnin' is yet figure to be loved
and admired. Around his vagaries
is woven an appealing love story of
young law student who, by outwit-
ting a couple of land grabbing law
yers, probes the basis of the play.
The action of the piece starts in
logging camp in the backwoods of
Nevada. The first act is laid in
little hotel run by Lightnin' Bill and
his wife, which standing half in Cali
fornia and half in Nevada, attracts
would-be Divorces from all over the
country. The place booms when it
is discovered as a resort where one
may live on the Nevada side and ac-
quire the necessary six-months' resi-
dence for quick divorce
While "Lightnin' is happy
blend of tears and laughter, its ire
mendous popularity is really due to
the appealing qualities exhibited by
its leading character, Lightnin' Bill.
He is absolutely worthless, fond of
his glass and his story, still lovable,
sympathetic and humorous. 1t is
character that recalls fond memories
of the elder Jefferson's Rip Van
Wrinkle and is destined to live in the
hearts of theatergoers long years af-
ter most other stage characters have
been forgotten.

Mounting Tax Burden
Continued from Page u

ranging from $4,000 to and in ex-
cess of million dollarss the Com
mission estimates that in 1922 out of
a total of approximately 80 billions
of wholly or partially tax-free Sc
curities, federal, state and local,
four and one-half billions were owned
by the wealthy individuals. On the
same basis business corporations
owned nearly IL billions, while $780,
770,000,000 were held by all others,
consisting principally of individuals
of smaller incomes.
The tax-exempt interest received
during 1922 by individuals whose tax
able incomes exceeded $4,000 each
is estimated at nearly $4,000, OOO
OF this over $97,OOO,OOO was wholly
tax-free and over $78,0O0,000 was
conditionally subject to surtax. The
maximum tax on this interest, had it
been taxable at the 1922 rate, would
have been about $5S,0OO,O0O.
"All the interest received from
these securities in 1922 by business
corporations estimated at $448, 0O0-
900, was wholly tax-free under the
existing law. Banks and trust COM
panies held nearly $5,600,000,OO0 of
the securities and received $780,
100000 of the interest. Insurance
companies owned over $4,000, 0OO, 900
of the securities and received nearly
$92, 100000 of tax-free interest in
1922. Had all this interest been tax
able at 121k per cent (the tax rate
for corporations in 1929 the reve-
nue. therefrom would have been about
$44, 100000.
Between 1912 and 1922 the ag-
gregate net debt of the United States,
the states and the local governments
increased more than six-fold, and was
nearly 80 billions of dollars in the
latter year. The national debt in
creased from about a billion to over
% billions, while state and local gov
eminent debts combined increased
from less than billions to nearly 9
billions.
The bonded debts of cities are es-
timated to have increased 80 per cent
between 1917 and 1922; the chief
purposes being to provide facilities
for public health, transportation and
education"

ACCOUNTS
FOR TORRENCE'S SUCCESS

Versatility" is a much-abused
word, but an actor who can rise to
screen fame and popularity by graph
ically portraying characters ranging
from deep-dyed villains to virile and
heroic he-men and inimitable come
dams is versatile.
Such is Ernest Terrence, the Jack
son" of "The Covered Wagon" Cou-
sin in Egbert of "Ruggles of Red
Cap" and now "Gen. Orlando Jack
son" in "The Fighting Coward, which
opens next Monday at the Weir the
alter.
Oddly enough, Terrence, who first
gained fame on the screen in power
full but villainous characters, was q
comedian of international note on
the stage. In real life, he is known
to his intimates as the most genial
and kindly of men. Conjure in your
imagination a man portraying such
characters who has been and still is
master musician and singer, a mu.
steal comedy and farce comedian OF
Broadway fame.
Terrence is said to have his great.
est role since "The Covered Wagon
in "The Fighting Coward" His
Gen. Jackson" is that of a gambling
fighting man, who takes a fancy to
young fellow, who has ambitions
to be considered a dangerous gun
fighter.
Featured with Terrence are Mary
Aston, Noah Berry, Phyllis Haver and
Cullen Lands, and others include
Bruce Covington, G. Raymond Nye,
Richard Neal, Carmen Phillips, Hell
