For example: A ticket marked 'es- tablished price 30 cents, tax paid 5 cents, total 35 cents,' may be sola for 30 cents, A ticket marked 'es- tablished price 31 cents, tax 4 cents total 35 cents,' may be sold for 31 cents, but the last mentioned ticket may not be sold for 35 cents merely because of the established price and the former amount of tax to be paid, total 35 cents. To do so would be • violation of both section 500 (d) and 1026 of the Revenue Act ol 1924 Use of Old Tickets "The right to use such tickets wii: be granted until Sept. 1, 1924, which la considered to be a sufficient time SPECIALIST IN DRESSES 29 West 50th St., N. Y. CIRCLE 5871 DISCOUNT TO THE PROFESSION to procure tickets which will com- ply with the requirements ot th* regulations issued under the Rev- enue Act of 1924. It on Sept 1 a taxpayer still has on hand a large supply of these tickets, and it would be an obvious injustice to compel him to purchase a i.ew supply prop- erly printed, in such case only he may be allowed to use the old tickets, provided he overprints there- on the price for which sold in such a manner that it is clear that no tax is being collected. "Under the revised regulations 43, part 1, to be Lssued, tickets of ad- mission for which the price Is GO cents or less need not _have printed, stamped, or writton thereon the name of the place to which they are valid for admission. Neither Is it necessary that they be serially numbered or dated. It should be borne In mind, however, that under section 500 (d) of the act it Is neces- sary that all tickets have printed, stamped, or written thereon the price for which sold. "The regulations as revised will contain provisions governing the destruction of tickets which have become obsolete due to changes In price, or unusable for any other reason. Such tickets must be de- stroyed by or in the presence of a deputy collector or other represen- tative of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. After destruction a state- ment will be issued setting forth the number of the tickets destroyed their denomination, and all other pertinent Information. This state- ment will be issued In duplicate, one copy to be retained in the flies of the taxpayer and the other copy by the collector. It is believed that this provision will result in fewer fraudulent representations as to the loss or destruction of tickets which were as a matter of fact sold and the tax collected thereon not re- turned. "This Is merely a brief statement of the main points of the procedure under the new law with which the- atre owners and others will be con- cerned. It is not intended to cover completely all changes, but to di- rect attention to the more Impor- tant ones. Regulation 43, part 1, are being revised and will be available for distribution in a few weeks."

Franklyn Dylall, deputy chair- man, said the Guild had really been started by the touring actor-man- agers In conjunction with the play- ers. They wished to work peace- fully together. They were not ene- mies of the A. A., but they refused to countenance Communism and ad- vanced Trade Unionism. Lena Ashwell said she wished to see the Guild an association on the lines of the British Medical Asso- ciation. Miss Ashwell Is the wife of a doctor and probably has a very indistinct idea of what would hap- pen to halt the members ot the theatrical profession If the business was run on the stern lines of the B. M. A H. A. Saintsbury said actors and labor could not work in conjunction. Laborers could flnlsh one Job and take over another mechanically, whereas acting was a matter of temperament and individuality. He wished to point out to the audience the Communistic danger ot a threatened theatre closedown In Scotland which was being engi- neered by the A. A.'s labor friends and which was due to take' place Sept. 1. In conjunction with Emerson he wanted to know whether, the Guild woufd have the power to stop' this. They wanted an emphatic answer. Harding Steerman pointed out such an act would be impossible, as it would first mean an entire recon- struction of the A. A. council. Many other people spoke. In- cluding members of the A .A. coun- cil, who tried to make the contro- versy warm but with indifterent success. Among the speakers were Fred Terry, Eva Moore, Athol Stewart, and Violet Vanbrugh. Godfrey Tearle put the resolution the Guild represent the actors and actresses of Great Britain, which was seconded by Rob Harwood, The resolution was carried unanmlously. Many members of the A. A. council as well as members were present, but no offlcials were recognized. A secret meeting of the Guild was held Friday, to which the rank and file were not admitted. A story is going round anent the formation of the Stage Guild, the opposition organization to the Actors' Association, which hats come into existence owing to the latter'a Communistic ideas. A huge list of patrons and temporary coun. cil was published after the Inaugural meeting at the Criterion, but it Is now said many people listed were not present, other people declaring "so-and-so will come In" and reg- istering the names. Another story Is that the newly formed council* in anxious to meet the A. A. council and discuss the whole position. PRESIDENTIAL YEAR (Continued from page 1) son, despite talk of strike condi- tions or other contingfenctes that may arise, show managers and pro- ducers paid next season cannot be faced with any zealous optimism, as it was Presidential year. A seasoned producer gave it aa his belief, and usually carried out every four years, that folks do not do much theatregoing while the big campaign is on. Local rallies, with national speakers,' and ev -.i the Presidential nominees, making per- sonal tours, are conflicting attrac- tions that mitigated against favor- able show returns, while Just how the radio is all-important for big talks, as proved during the conven- tion. ^ootlight 1 ^Jootwear!
