No. s Exemptions Allowed Couples Mar ried During Taxable Year

Exemptions Allowed Couples Mar
 ried During Taxable Year
 Taxpayers should note that under the Revenue Act of 1886 the credit for dependents as well as the per- sonal exemption is required to be prorated where change of status occurs during the taxable year, and that these credits are allowable not only for the purpose of computing the normal tax but also the surtax. A fractional part of month is to be disregarded unless 1t amounts to more than half 8 month, in which case 1t is considered a month.
 For example, a single man and single woman who were married on July 20, 1897, and were living to- gether on the last day of the tax able year, may file a joint return. If they file their return or returns on the basis of the calendar year, they would be entitled to personal exemption of $2,208.34, which is sev- en-twelfths of 5000 for the sus- band while single, plus seven- twelfths of $1 900 for the wife while single, plus five-twelfths of $2,500 for the period during which they were married. If separate returns are filed, each is entitled to per- sonal exemption of $1,104.17, which is seven-twelfths of $l.000, plus one-half of five-twelfthS of $2,500. If during the year 1897 the husband or the wife had the status of the head of family prior to their marriage, he or she would be en- titled to his or her pro rata share of the personal exemption of $2,- 500 allowed the head of the family for the period prior to their mar riage instead of merely that allow ed a single person. However, for the period of their marriage any exemption to which either might be entitled as the head of family would be merged in the joint per- sonal exemption for that period. The joint personal exemption allowable in the case of couple who were married and living together during the entire year may not exceed $2,50O.
 If a child under IS years of age and dependent on the parent for support reaches the age of IS years during the taxable year, the credit of $400 for a dependent is required to be prorated in the same manner as the personal exemption. For .ex- ample, should the child's eighteenth birthday fall on June 30, the parent would ze entitled to claim $200 credit for the dependent child = that is. one-half of $4OO. The same rule applies to other dependents where a change of status occurs during the taxable year.

'LOVG ana 11lSScS CO-SIdIIulS Simone Simon with Walter Winchell and Ben Bernie heads another of those giant double feature bills which begins 8 four day engagement at the popular Warner Bros Strand theater today.
 The story tells US that Ben Bernie, the "old Maestro" discovers (Simone Simon) 8 great singer. He asks "old pal" Winchell, Americas one- man newspaper, to build her up in his column. Winchell turns the band leader down, as should be eX- pected, so Bernie schemes a plot. Adopting an exotic masquerade, Simone lets Winchell discover" her himself, and the columnist showers reams of publicity upon her.
 Just before Bernie's new club is to open, with Simone as star, she reveals the plot to Winchell, Dis mayed at having been taken in, Winchell plans a four-star ven- geance upon his favorite enemy. Revenge by any other man is sweet, but by Winchell it's hilarious.
 The climax brings the two feud- ists together at the opening of Bernie's club, featuring their CO., discovery, Simone, singing for them both. The ending is happy. even though the truce may be tempor- ary.
 Other featured players include a new team of ZanieS in Bert Lahr and Joan Davis.
 The companion feature "West of Shanghai" starring Boris Karlof, as the mighty General Wu Yen Fang, with Beverly Roberts and Ricardo Cortez. This film is a thrilling melo- drama of the oil fields in the in- terior of North China.
