The announcement on another page of this issue by the B. B. Sign Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, will no doubt attract considerable interest throughout the country. With its recent reported increase in population, Cleveland seems to have jumped to the front in motion picture advertising. With the A. B. C. Co.'s "true to the film posters" and the 12 ft. display banners of the B., B. Sign Co., Cleveland can safely be called headquarters in picture theatre display advertising. The B. B. Sign Co. which has been practically in control of Cleveland's theatrical work for a year pa"st, has been for months preparing the innovation outlined in their advertisement. They are making up 12 ft. banners for all releases on specially prepared sign cloth as soon as the information can be obtained from the various manufacturers. They are attractive signs which can be mailed or shipped with the films at a price so low that small circuits or exchanges now serving their customers with signs will do well to get into touch with this firm. Their force of experts stand ready to give suggestions as to lobby or front display and catchy copy for signs, at any time upon request. They announce a catalogue in course of preparation which will be ready for distribution at an early date, showing any kind of a sign that a theatre could possibly use. PICTURE MEN MUST PAY $500 TAX Recorder Weir, of Montreal, Quebec, found nineteen motion picture men guilty, Sept. 1, of refusing to pay the $500 tax imposed by the city, and he imposed a fine of $20 each on the defendants, aggregating $380. The cases had been before the Courts since last May, the legal dispute centering around the words of the by-law stating that the tax must be paid by the "owners of halls for the exhibition of moving pictures." Three trial judges rendered no judgment on the merits of three important legal points raised by the picture men. When the case was fought first by N. K. Laflamme, K. C, Judge Bazin dismissed the complaints against the men, saying that the wording of the by-law regarding the schedule of prices to be paid for picture shows could not be interpreted otherwise than that the owners of the immovables were responsible and not the1 lessees. Some time after that first judgment, Judge Davidson of the Superior Court refused a petition to attack the by-law in that Court, saying that the points raised by the petitioners were unsustainable. Recorder DuPuis in the Recorder's court followed with a judgment in favor of the city on the obvious intent of the by-la-?*, and yesterday Mr. Recorder Weir founded his judgment on the intent of the by-law, as shown by a clause that had hitherto not been brought into the argument, clearly proving, in his opinion that the intention was to make the lessees pay the tax.
