as the talent scout, once a great
star himself; and Charlotte
Greenwood was warmly welcomed
back to the screen as the studio
dramatic coach who helps LJnda
make good.
Others who turn In fine per
formances are William Gargan as
a producer, Mary Beth Hughes as
a blonde “meanie,” Mary Healy,
who sings the lovely Hoagy Car
michael and Mitchell Parish bal
lad that gave the film its name,
and Donald Meek as a conniving
casting director..

Increased Monday
The Collector of Internal Reve
nue at Greensboro, N. C., an
nounced today that the new In
terna] Revenue Act of 1940 which
has for its purpose the raising of
funds to pay lor national defense,
among other things increases the
tax On cigarettes by 8 1-3 per
cent, or one-half cent on a stand
ard package of twenty small
cigarettes. This change will have
the effect of increasing the value
of all cigarette stamps purchased
by manufacturers from the Col
lector of Internal Revenue on and
after July 1, 1940. It has a
ther effect of imposing a floor
stock tax on all cigarette.s> in the
hands of manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers even down to
a single package.
The Collector of Internal Reve
nue is cautioning all manufactur
ers and dealers in cigarettes to
make an accurate count of their
stocks on hand before the begin
ning of business on July 1 and to
preserve an accurate record of the
quantity of such cigarettes. The
Collector explained that each cig
arette manufacturer and dealer
should immediately request a
blank internal revenue form for
the purpose of making an official
report of the cigarettes off hand
as of July 1. The tax on such
cigarettes will be computed by the
taxpayer and the return and In
ventory of stock will be sent to
the Collector of Internal Reve
nue accomipanled by a remittance
covering the tax not later than
August 1, 1940.
The Collector explained that
due to the necessary delay In
printing the blank return forms
he would not be able to till the
requisitions for such forms imme
diately but as soon as they are
received ffom Washington all re
quests will be complied with; It
is expected that as soon as pos
sible the Collector will cause In
vestigations to be made of the
records of all manufacturers and
dealers In his district. In order
that persona having cigarettes In
their possession for sale oh. July
may a/vold the imposition of
severe penalties, the Collector
urged that they make prompt re
quisitions for blank forms of re
turns and Inventories, that they
complete the returns and invpn-
torles promptly and send them^to
the Collector ^of Jhb^;aal R^^^e
with apprapirlit^T^iI^i^'9^
ihat they preserve ndl. and ade-
giMte records of their stocks
