CORTEZ IS COMING

COh1EA 10 COMANU
That Suave and sleek villain,
Ricardo Cortez, will appear in per-
son at the Earle Theater c5 the
stage headliner beginning Feb
ruary Z.
Only once in q while does Cor
tez get chance to be a hero. To
tell the truth most leading women
prefer him as :, menace since he
happens to be tip top actor and
takes away attention from stars.
AS a cut throat or racketeer the
stars are saved by having Mr.. Cor
tez in an unappealing role. He has
played more than 100 parts for
the screen and in most of them
he has flirted with the peniten-
tiary or a violent death.
To make the town Cortez-con.

will play the lead in the Metro

Friday. This is 'The Murder of

to wait 10 days to see if the money

Bock-Stoge News and Gossip
Gathered By Bill HoyIe

A cablegram opened Friday by
Toby Wing, currently headlining
the Fox stage bill, made it neces-
sary for her to scratch a month
of vaudeville bookings. This wire
from mon t-BritiSh Films
asked her to sail for their home
lot in Britain and fulfill the
terms of a new contract. The
contract itself having been mixed
after her first starring role in
another English company's fea-
ture, namely Booth-Dominion'S
Kings Play" shot last october
in Toronto.
The present vaudeville tour, and
her first one, began when she left
the coast and opened at the
Oriental Theater, Chicago, on
December 81. Johnny Perkins
introduced and the box office
rang up a new seven-year high:
Toby then started into a solid
booking until latter April.
A glance at Miss Wings history
reveals that she is the daughter of
a retired captain in the Regular
U. S. Army. In 1882 she left the
home city of Richmond, Va, to
vacation with the family at Santa
Monica, Cal. While on the beach
there Mack Sennett glimpsed her
and for three months she worked
the eye interest into his comedy
catching cameras.
On her sixteenth birthday Sam
Goldwyr selected and signed her
as one of the famed Goldwyn
beauties to work in Cantor's Kid
From Spain" When this film went
to the cutting room she attracted
the attention of Busby Berkley,
Warmers ace dance director. who
hired her for "Forty-Second
Street"
At present Toby has posed for
more photographs and stills"
than any other beauty in the film
city.

ship papers we're signed last week,
and after cabling his mother, in
France, he began on his plans for
a permanent home in America.
Emile was born on a train,
travelling through Switzerland,
en- route from Austria to France.
His father was Polish and his
mother a French lady and a de-
scendant of LIE Duke D'Orleans,
cousin to the little Emperor Ma
poleon.
Fifteen years ago he procured
his first job. For five francs ne
was hired to play the hind legs
of a comedy horse and cavort
around the 'Folie Bergere" in
Paris.
Two and a half years ago Emile
went into the "Folies Bergere"
show again as their master Of
ceremonies. Bringing this show
overseas he opened at the French
Casino in Chicago, for a run of
18 months. After this a trip into
New York's French Casino for ~
consecutive weeks. During this
time his valet received more pay,
per day, than Emile had received
each week for his first stage try.
Tommy Manahan, band leader
on the the bill, played here last
time as an M. c. at the Earle
Theater in 1929. After this weekly
booking Peter Borras persuaded
him to move over to the Madril-
lion Restaurant as feature, and
he stayed in this spot for IA weeks.
At that time this proved a local
record for a visiting M. C.

"TOWSENDISM'

How to make two cents transaction
taxi appear like twenty billion dollars
a year seems to be the task Townsend
ism proposes to solve. The statement
itself recalls the miracle of the five
loaves and two fishes.
Townsend literature is replete with
all sorts OF arguments and theories
based on unknown quantities. Trans
actions are so varied and so compile
ated, that no individual is able TO
clearly visualize them completely. A
sale of wheat by a farmer to an elev-
ator is a transaction; SO is an exchange
of wheat between two farmers.
The final result aimed at by Town
sendism seems to be to make a two
cent transaction tax produce 20 billion
dollars each year, or S240O per year for
10 million persons over go years OF
age.
With interest figured at 3 per cent
per annum, it would require a capital
base of 80 thousand dollars to produce
it. Multiply 80 thousand by 10 million
(the estimated number of beneficiar-
ies), and the result is a capital base Of
800 billion dollars. Figuring 1000 mil
lion to equal one billion.)
If | am correctly informed, all the
so-called wealth in the U. S., and this
includes all the farms, cattle &C., rail-
roads, mines, stocks and bonds ana
notes outstanding, amounts to only
about 300 billion dollars. In other
words "Townsendism" proposes to in
crease the capital base Of wealth by
800 billion dollars and donate it to 10
million old and honored folks and
leave the rest Of us lis million citizens
but 300 billion dollars of capital wealth
base.
Economists inform us hat all taxes
are shifted from one to the other until
the farms and the farmers pay the en-
tire bill. l believe it is a safe estimate
that the capital base of all farms, and
farm animals and machinery is not to
exceed so billion dollars, or one-sixth
of the entire capital base of the U. S.
This so billion capital, or base wealth,
must not only support itself, but in
addition thereto an additional wealth
structure of $50 billion dollars. The
farmers have become bankrupt of lat.
because they are unable to carry on
further. Now "Townsendism" proposes
to increase the capital wealth structure
from 300 to HOO billion dollars.
There are about 80 million farmers
in the U. S. This includes men, women
and children. To produce 20 billion
dollars each year, would require that
each man, woman and child on our

The TOWNSEND CORNER

farms must bear an additional tax or
obligation of S666.33. If the average
farm home consists of five members
then each farm family would be re-
quired to raise at least $3331.65 per
year additional taxes. Remember all
taxes are eventually shifted to the
farmer).
Shifting obligations is an American
trait. Even Mr.. Clements, Secretary OF
the Townsend organization, according
to press reports, shifted a laundry bill
of his own to the organization.
Another picture may be visualized
thus: All the farm gross income for
1885 is estimated at about 8 billion
dollars. The Townsend plan calls for
20 billion dollars to be donated to 10
million old folks. If donated in kind,
it means that the farmers of the U. S.
would be obligated to raise two and
one times as much grain, and meat
and cotton and vegetables as in 1885
and turn over the entire bulk to these
10 million "olderies," leaving the rest
of us lis million folks with nothing to
eat or wear, and still be obligated to
pay our other taxes, doctor bills, thea
ter tickets, etc.

sixty years of age The now banks OF
more than sixty years accumulations
is a beautiful sight. / would not do a
single harmful act against them.
honor and respect them. Mr.. Town
send o Congressman Monaghan have
no greater respect for them than
have. But, is "Townsendism" possible?
Can the miracle of five loaves and two
fishes be duplicated. My humble opin-
ion is that God only has a monopoly
on miracles.
Respectfully,
Attorney j. j. Gunther.
