The newest venture is that of the
Cherry Lane Play House, soon to open
in Greenwich Village. 1t will be of the

hackers Of this theater are preceding
on the theory, now quite prevalent,
that the drama is organized for pro-
fit rather than for art. The artists who
will design the first four productions
are Willy Pogany, Cleon Throckmor-
ton, Frederick James III and John

New York.-If you would observe the
way the world wags, consider our let
ters and our drama.
Leading the list of best sellers, other
than works of fiction, is Papini's "Life
of Christ" During the past five years
only one other book of general nature
has sold at faster rate than the
Life of Christ" is selling now.
The biggest individual success of
the stage this season is Outward
Bound" play dealing with the here
after The biggest commercial sue
cess now on tour with the possible
exception of "Abie's Irish Rose") is
Claiming Pollock's "The Fool" That
plays popularity lies directly in its
appeal to the religious nature of its
audiences.
All of this seems to indicate pre-
vailing spirit Of religious unrest,
state of affairs also manifested in the
controversy between so-called modern
lists and fundamentalists in the
churches of America
The external impetus given to our
spiritual natures by the war having

New York-The most significant
event of the current stage season is
the discovery" of Walter Huston. The
title role in iona Coles "Mister Pitt"
is his first venture on the legitimate
stage and Broadway is rejoicing over
his success.
American men of the younger gen
Grafton have failed to keep up their
end in the development of the drama
as a national art The most popular
leading juvenile on Broadway is Les
lie Howard. He is an Englishman.
And q man who has been firstnight-
er for 80 years tells me that Howard
is 4S years old.
Producers had just about given up
hope of recruiting actors from Amer
lea when Huston reyeald himself as,
a player of stellar proportions. The
last young American to prove himself
master of the thespian art was Glenn
Hunter He made his bow several years
ago.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1924-01-31

Strange to say, mister Pitt" loses
force through failure of its feminine
players. None of them realize the full
possibilities of the characters created
by Miss Gale. On the other hand, Hus-
ton puts more into his role than was
created by the playwright.
In "Mister Pitt" the author has fol-
lowed closely the new trend in Ameri-
can literature in that it, is story of
small-town people of the generation
just past 1t is for love-and gives it
to an unworthy woman.
Mister Pitt, as he puts himself,
works like a horse and gets no place.
He has Something" inside him, but
it stays there and dies. 1t is the age
old tragedy Of altar fires that only
shoulder in the breast of man and
fail to burst into flame because they
lack proper draught.
In the case of Mister Pitt this in
ternal fire was smothered by a wife
who recognized his worth, yet could
not appreciate it.

NUISANCE TAX
GOES TO DISCARD
Admission and Other Tax
es Become in Effect
Tomorrow.
AFFECTS INDUSTRIES

Baseball fans and movie lovers will
be able to save money on their favorite
pastimes after July 2, when the federal
tax on admission tickets to the value
of so cents and under will be abol-
ished. Every fan can save a nickel on
the present baseball price and three
cents on the standard movie admission
= Local industries will also get rid
of some of the tax burden after We'd
nesday. A reduction of two and one
half per cent in the tax on automobile
accessories will become effective after
July 2. The present tax is five per
cent. The seat tax on theaters paid
by the management and based upon the
seating capacity, will also be removed.
Jewelry Tax Abolished
Sales tax on jewelry up to total
purchase price Of $50 and watches up
to $50 will be abolished. Purchases
over these sums, however, will retain
the present tax with no exemptions.
One of the new rulings that has
caused considerable confusion, accord
ing to Henry D. Barnes, division chief
of the U. s. Internal Revenue service,
rs the abolition of the taxes on syrups
and still drinks. One of the require
ments under the old law was that every
place where such soft drinks were
made and sold must be registered. The
new law became effective at once when
the president signed the tax bill and
since that time, June 2, it has not been
necessary to register fountain or
soft drink establishment.
Keeps Some Old Taxes.
The new law retains the old tax on
billiard tables and bowling alleys but
a clause has been added which exempts
lodges, clubs, homes and other private
and semi-private places where no
charge is made for playing. The law
reads as follows:
"Proprietors Of bowling alleys and
billiard rooms will pay $40 for each
alley or table. Every building or place
where bowls are thrown or where
games of billiards or pool are played
shall be regarded as bowling alley
or billiard room, unless no charge is
made for the use of the alleys or
tables" ~
The latter clause is an addition un-
der the new law.

Architect Describes In Detail
Decorative Plan For New Courthouse

a detailed description of the decora-

court house was given today in an ar
ticle prepared by Joseph Lindl, mem
Der Of the architects firm of Lindl, Les
ser and Schultz, architects for the

to all Kenoshans. 1t reads as follows:
Realizing the keen interest taken
by the taxpayers in the development of
our new court house, the exterior OF
which is now assuming its intended
shape, line and mass, it will be of in
terest to the people to learn something
in detail about the mural paintings
and general decorations that will adorn
the building and which are now being
planned and executed.
Main Entrance Hall.
"There will be two murals, one over
each doorway leading to the principal
court rooms. Each mural will be II
feet high and Ia feet wide.
"Being placed as they are at the en-
trance of the rooms devoted to the
functions of law, it is thought alto
gether fitting that the two principal
branches of our juris prudence should
be featured. Therefor, the one mural
will be symbolism of civil law and
criminal law in the opposite space.
"The civil law panel will feature two
winged figures fanking an elaborate
gold tablet containing a suitable quo
tation from a civil law authority.
"The one figure, bearing torch,
will typify knowledge The other,
bearing the fasces, Power
"These figures will hold aloft a
scroll containing the words, Civil
Law Below and fanking the door
jambs on each side will be two Roman
braziers suggesting the Roman origin
of much of our Jurisprudence. This
composition is certain to produce a
very handsome and dignifed appear
ance.
''The- other mural will be in a gen.
eral way similar as to composition. In
this case the figures will represent
Mercy and Force, respectively. The
inscription on the tablet will reflect
the thought of some authority on Grim
inal law and the figures will hold aloft
8 scroll containing the words 'Crimi-
nal Law"
"The principal colors will be blue,
gold and white which will harmonic
well with the Bottieino marble which
will be extensively used in the sur
rounding architecture.
at is assumed that the judges sit-
ting in the various courts are willing
to make suggestions as to suitable in
scriptions as their familiarity with the
literature of law will insure correct
inscriptions.
"These murals, the composition and
color scheme Of which have been ap-
proved by the architects and building
committee, are now being painted in
the studio of Mr.. A. Z. Foringer, New
