TAX BILL
To Be SIGNED
BY GOv.N|CE

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March %.
Governor Nice announced today
he would sign the bill providing a
/ per cent levy on all gross sales
made within the State. The gov.
ernor's decision followed closely a
previous announcement he was un-
decided whether or not to veto the
measure.
The bill was passed through
both houses of the assembly early
yesterday as compromise to the
administrators 2 per cent retail
sales tax. Proceeds will be dedi-
Gated to relief.
No Alternative
Lack Of an alternative and the
stress Of the present relief emer.
gency made signing Of the bill
practically mandatory, the COVER
nor declared. However, he con-
tinued to stand behind the 2 per
cent sales tax measure. He said:
Even in the face Of unprece.
dented protest, I find myself
with no alternative other than to
approve (subject to an opinion
from the attorney general aS
to its legality the emergency
gross receipts tax bill.
every citizen Of Maryland
knows, as q last resort, l was
for a 2 per cent sales tax. I
definitely and unrevOcably took
my stand in approval Of that
tax-raiSing measure. AS this
proven and sound equitable
method Of raising revenue has
been discarded / regret I have
no alternative but to sign the
bill, even though 1t abjectly
burdens business"
Rules Suspended
The governors question as to
the legality Of the measure was
an outcome Of the method used
in securing passage Of the bill.
without ever having been printed
or engrossed, the measure was
passed under suspended rules
with only the leaders Of the as
sembly knowing what it was
about.
The bill is limited in life to
one year, which will necessitate
an extra session Of the assembly
early next year for further relief
fund measures. Authors Of the
measure expressed an opinion 1t
would raise S. 100000.

Naval Glory.

At Belasco
Seaman Is Hero of
Tale Rejecting
War Spirit.

THE boys who are struggling around
over in Europe, trying to strike
up a good. first-class war, had best
keep an eye on England If the I'M
perial British Navy has many like
young Albert Brown, able-bodied sea-
man and hero Of Born for Glory"
Gaumont- British film, which opened
Saturday at the Belasco.
For Albert was very dangerous
citizen, as you will agree after you go
to the Belasco. He started being
dangerous when the ship he was on
was about to 60 down in a naval
battle by firing the shot that poked a
hole in the side of the German bat
tleship doing the other half of the
fight Then, after being picked up
from the water and taken prisoner
by the Germans. he escaped when
the ship pulled into the lee of an
island to repair the damaged plates.
Toting a rifle and plenty of am
munition on a life preserver, he swan
to the island and there amused him
self by peeking around a rock and
taking accurate pot shots at the Ger
man sailors who got down on scaf-
fold to rivet the new plates in posi-
tion. This so inconvenienced these
gentlemen that landing party was
sent after Albert, whereupon he
peeked around his rock some more,
took some more accurate pot shots
and killed off dozens of the landing
party. Then the sailors were called
back to their ship and the big guns
were turned on Albert and his rocks,
but he had held out long enough so
that a British battle wagon could
arrive and sink the enemy.
Now all of this battling of Albert's
Is exciting and worth seeing, even if
it is a bit far-fetched and you could
not be blamed for not fully believing
it, There are pair of battles on the
high seas, too, which are packed with
thrills, in spite of the fact you often
have well-founded suspicious that
they took place in a tank in the G-B
studios. rather than on those high
seas.
There is something strangely mov-
ing about the rest of the story of
Born for Glory" too. 1t all starts
out when a young lieutenant in the
navy meets a girl back in the 90s
The lieutenant loves and leaves and
then, many years later, is captain of
the ship that sinks the German vessel
Albert held at bay.
When this officer looks at a watch
found beside Albert, discovering the
young hero was his son, and when
the camera focuses on the rude cross
erected over Albert's grave on the
island you will discover that the story
has had hold on you. That ending
brings in some mighty effective
realism when you had expected,
against hope. that Albert would live
and that his mother and father would
be reunited in a pleasant pink glow.
A young British player named John
Mills does a splendid job as Albert
and makes some of that pulp-paper
action seem real. Barry Mackay is
the officer who sailed away and Betty
Balfour is the gal he sailed away
from. Both are good, but their act
ing is distinctly British in flavor.

CARROLL SISTERS
LEAD GAYETY SHOW
Comedy Is Made Effective in
Production and Chorus Does
Good Work.

JIMMY PINTO and Matty Della, the
inimitable "wops." head the new
bill at the Gayety. That is. they head
the comic half of the new show, which
is the better half. The blond Carroll
sisters head the half whose purpose it
is to supply beautiful background for
the comic interludes.
The show. however, is built around
the Carroll sisters. and well it might
be. They are lovely pair of blonds,
who have acquired other things in a
sunshiny state than we'll displayed
coat of tan. Perhaps it was one of the
less advertised features out there thai
gave them good pair of singing voices
and a dance routine that goes over
very smoothly Testified to by the very
generous applause that followed them
offstage).
One of the scenes. "Dr. Jeckyll and
Mr.. Hyde" is dramatic. An actor ap-
pears who has to have draught of a
drug in order to be himself" when he
has to appear. Its effect on him is to
change him into bloodthirsty villain,
but on the others who take it it has
the effect of making them react grue-
some scenes of their lives. Since they
all seem to have murdered some one
| it is most dramatic.
The chorus does its work well. 1t
does not seem to be all work either,
especially when it comes down in the
audience and gives the white haired
granddads, sitting in the front row. a
good kidding.
| Others of the featured players are
generously epplauded. especially Gay
LaBarr. who will prove a welcome ad-
dition here. r. D.
