We have delayed this step as long as possible but know our customers will realize its necessity and will derive satisfaction from the fact that 20 per cent of the proceeds of every ticket purchased goes to help the war effort. Following is the schedule of prices that will be charged starting April 1st: MATINEE Aults: Established price 33 Federal tax 07 Total 40 Children: Established price Federal Tax ..0? .00 EVENING Adults: Established price 42 Federal tax .08 Total ! 50 Chldren: Established price - 17 Federal tax 03 Total 20 Grade and High School Stu dents Over 12 Years Established price -32 Federal tax 08 Total .09 I Total -40 Attention is called to the children's admission pricei; since mail ing out notices of the increase the Internal Revenue Depart ment has issued a new ruling making it impossible to sell 15c tickets, thus it wais necessary to change our previous announce ment in this connection.
