July 4th.
The Citizens Bank & Trust Com

Fourth, as will the Bank of Pinehurst
with its branches in Aberdeen and
Carthage.
Due to the passage by Congress
of a revenue bill which includes a
ten percent tax on all theatre ad
missions above 20 cents, an increase
from 3."» cents to 40 cents and from
25 to 30 cents is announced by Man
ager Charles W. Plcquet for the
Carolina Theatres In Pinehurst and
Southern Pines.
"This new tax means a total ol
five cents in taxes on each 35-cenl
admission,” Mr. Plcquet said yester
day. "For me to attempt to absorb
this tax would soon necessitate the
closing of the theatres. Much as 1
hate to pass this increase along to the
theatre-goer, it is simply a matter of
necessity. Theatres throughout the
country are having to increase their
admissions 'and I guess we’ll just
have to charge It up to Mr. Hitler.’’
The new law goes into effect July
1st, which means the new admis
sion goes into effect on Monday next.
