FAMOUS VIENNA THEATER
CLOSED BY TAX BURDEN
Kammerspiele lone of Tiniest and
Most Amusing" in Any Cap
ital, It Is Said.

VIENNA CN.A.NAD-The jolly lit
tie KammerSpiele Theater, one of the
tinieSt and most amusing in any capt.
tai, has had to close down Here one
used to be sure of riotously funny farce
and daring trif1es of Improperly that
out-Parised Paris. There were two per-
formances a night, one at o'clock and
one at midnight. and the late one
suited that section of Viennese society
that dimes latest of all.
In Vienna, theater buildings them
selves. not their management, are held
responsible for arrears of entertainment
tax, and so one looks at the closed doors
of the Kammerspiele with dependency.
And with more still. when one compares
the taxes charged here and in London.
for instance. London managers pay an
average of 171@ per cent of the gross
takingS to the state; in Vienna, theaters
have to pay two taxes, one to the state
and one to the municipality and the
total, according to the nature of the
entertainment, varies from IS to As per
cent. A new tenant could not open
the Kammerspiele until he had paid on
his predecessors tax arrears.

that the system Of selection now ap-

GERS in the Army, and now confined TO
the choice among the colonies, should
be extended downward, without exccp-

It Il not expected that any effort viii
be made to introduce In Congress any
legislation pertaining to the above, as It
would seriously affect the chances Of
service pay adjustment, which Is Of
more concern to the personnel Of the
Regular Army than anything else. Such
a proposal would be strongly opposed,
