Moving Pictures Popular in Texas. According to the records of the Controller's depart- ment, the moving picture craze has taken hold of the people of Texas. During the past several months the department has been be* eged to a certain extent by county tax collectors ov< r the State for blanks upon which to issue the tax rf :eipts by the collectors. The demand for these blanks has been so great that the Controller has had to get another supply printed. It seems that this latest fad has a more firm hold on the people than the skating rinks, which held sway for the past two years. While the number of new rinks are on the decline, the number of moving picture shows have more than compensated this decrease in the rink propo- sition. It is shown that there are as high as twenty of these moving picture shows in one city. From, the rec- ords of the department there are over 1,000 now in operation in" Texas. Dallas is said to have 18, Fort Worth 10, Austin 6 and so on down the line. The State tax on these moving picture shows is $25 annually, and the county tax is half that amount.
