On this subject "The Buying American" has this to say on the matter: Whenever we're forced to pay more for things we've always bought at a fixed price human nature "takes it out" on the seller. When the U. S. Government said: "You must pay a penny or two more for your movies after November 1," the movie fan's first thought was a protest. Most of us forgot that the movie man doesn't get the extra price. Uncle Sam has started a new business — the business of peace insurance. He needs capital and he's getting it by taking us all into partnership — giving us an opportunity to share in the profits. So we shouldn't hold a grudge against the movie man and we shouldn't go less often to the movies. They're worth the added cent or two, anyway, and always have been. We've paid less than we should just because the movie man hasn't asked us more. Where can we get so much entertainment for so small an outlay as at the movies? Where do we see and learn so much? And now that a part of our movie investment will be used to overthrow autocracy we ought to go oftener than ever. To be known as a movie fan will henceforth be the badge of patriotism, the mark of loyalty. We are serving our country when we go to the movies now. We are helping to win the war. With this thought uppermost we shall pay our war penny gladly, go frequently, and wish the movie man well, remembering that he isn't profiting by the tax, but that we are. There's another reason why we ought to go to the movies more: They are getting better every day. We're seeing a bigger money's worth. Better actors, better plays. better theaters, more film per show — at no added cost to us except the war tax. The movies have done more for us than we can ever do for them. They have brought the theater to our doors and accommodated it to our pockets. They have made its best exponents familiar to us — artists like Bernhardt and Sothern. They have whisked us around the world, shown us history in the making, broadened our viewpoint, helped us forget, enlivened the grind. Shall we. then, begrudge Uncle Sam his movie tax? Not a bit ! Let's be glad the movies are making it easier to win, doing their bit to make the world forever safe for democracy. Let's remember every time wc take in a movie that we're helping to provide clothing, food, munitions for the boys at the front. Over 10,000,000 persons, so they say, go to the movies every day. That means 10,000,000 pennies ($100,000) a day for the war chest — to bring nearer the day "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again." Who gets the war tax? You do — for it's spent to insure your peace, to protect your interests, to help end the war. So let's go to the movies. Advance Demand for Walthall Play Paralta Plays, Inc., announces that the third Paralta Play to be distributed to exhibitors through the W. W. Hodkinson Corporation, will be "His Robe of Honor" in which Henry B. Walthall will be seen as the star. There is a considerable advance demand for this 'production which like the first two Paralta Plays, J. Warren Kerrigan in Peter B. Kyne's "A Man's Man" and Bessie Barriscale in Harold MacGrath's "Madam Who?", is from the pen of well known novelists. "His Robe of Honor" was written by Ethel and James Dorrance.
