ASKS PROMPT ACCOUNTING OF TAXEDINCOMES Revenue Collector Lists Questions Taxpayers Should Ask Themselves. ■With the approach of the period of filing income tax returns, Jan. 1 to March 15, 1922, taxpayers are advised by M. Bert Thurman, collector of internal revenue, to lose no time in the compilation of their accounts for the year 1921. Collector Thurman points out anew and Important provision of the revenue act of 1921 which provides that every person gross income for the year was over $5,000 shall file a return, regardless of the amount of net income upon which the tax is assessed. Returns are required of every single person whose net income was SI,OOO or over and every married person living with husband or wife whose net income was $2,000 or over. Widows and widowers and persons separated or divorced from husband or wife are regarded as single persons. Net income is gross income. less certain deductions for business expenses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross Income Includes practically all Income received hy the taxpayer during the year; In the case of the wage earner, salaries, wages, bonuses and commissions: in the case of professional men, alt amounts received for professional services; in the cases of farmers all profits from the sale or farm products, and rental or sale ot land. In the making of an income tax return for the year 1921, every taxpayer should present to himself the following questions: What w’re your profits from your business, trade, profession or vocation'? Did you receive any interest on banK deposits? Have you any property for which you received rent? Did you receive any income in the form of dividends or interest from stocks or bonds'? Did you receive any bonuses during the year"? Did you make any profits on the sale of stocks, bonds or other property, real or personal'? Did you act as a broker in any transaction from which you received commissions'? Are you interested In any partnership or other firm from which you received an income'? Have you any income from royalties or patents? Have you any minor children who are working? Do you appropriate, or have the right to appropriate, the earnings of such children? If so. the amount must be Included in the return of Income. Has your wife any income from any source whatsoever? If so, it must be included in your return or reported in a separate return of income. Did you receive any directors’ fees or trustees’ fees in the course of the year? Do yon hold any office In a benefle society from which you receive Income? Answers to all of these questions are necessary to determine whether a person has an income sufficiently large to require that a return be filed and may be the means of nvoiding the heavy penal tleß Imposed for failure to do so within the time prescribed.

FRANCIS TURNS THEATER INTO MELODY PARADISE Frank Tinney Gives Tont Marshall a * Smoke* Tip

A paradise of melody. That is what English's was last night. And it is all due to the generous efforts of Henry W. Savage in giving the American stage anew production of the famous “Merry Widow” and assembling a cast headed by Dorothy Francis of the Chicago Grand Opera Company as the widow: James l- 1 ' dy as the Prince: Marie i Wells as Natalie; ojjfc S'A Frank Webster ** P? 38 Camille de f Jolidon; .Tefferson De Angelis as Nish, a mes senger of the ommßl hnssy. ami many y 1 '■ the theater* that ftp'., ''wj&f: • such a competent singing and dancing organization • ' jto lias ever been as ■Jr b. . sembled for a WribT “revival." Call it a revival If you will, but as presented at English’s last night it exceeds any of the modern stage musical comedies. Dorothy Francis, with the aid of a big company, transformed the theater last night into a paradise of melody. At the close of the second act, when the strains of the famous love waltz of “The Merry Widow” were pounding at the very heart of the audience, glorious Indianapolis Hoosier folk showed their appreciation for this real melodious treat. Several curtains were taken by the company and then by the principals. Miss Francis bowed and tossed a kiss to the audience as the ovation increased. The curtain rose again as Miss Francis stood

That gracious act of Dorothy Francis in sharing the honors of the evening with those who so well aided in the effective presentation of the operetta, told me more about this grand opera singer than if I had Interviewed 1 r for two hours. A fine tribute. Miss Francis, to the womanhood of the stage The audience did not fake its applause last night and it came from the heart. Miss Francis did not “act” for effect—she desired that others of the company share in the honors, and they did. A wonderful sijfht. Miss I’rar Is.

Suddenly upon the stage glide two dancers and they dance this wa’tr nc I never have seen it done before. They stopped the show and our good friend, Jefferson de Argelis, had a most difficult time in getting proceedings started again. It is in the second act where the male sextette sings a comedy gem, “Women.” This is the song which gives Mr. de Angelis one of the biggest comedy chances of the evening. This song tied up proceedings for “quite a spell.” Miss Francis scored two big personal triumphs last night while singing ”Vilja,’ a very tricky, melodious morsel, m and while singing “j ' 1 I Love You So” v j|js knows waR rea * ollllßo Mr. lie Angelis. that Mr. I.llly, Mr. De Angelis, Marie Wells (of splendid stage appearance and splendidly trained voice) and the many others in the cast.

meritorious revival in the last five years. The scenery in the first two acts was painted by Joseph Urban. You need no further guarantee that the effect is 1(H) per tent. The famous Case Maxim scene was painted by Robert Bergman with the proper understanding for the "speed" of everything in the place. Need I say more?

loudly checkered suit. The scenes change quickly to Thibet, where Tinney appears in his Shriner costume and brown derby, b omlng the “grand Dardenella” of the joint. Here figures one of the most finished actors in the show, a white horse which has an aversion to Frank and shows it at every opportunity. Tinney appears only for a short time as a female impersonator, but he gets away with it big. He explained to tho audience that it took them ten years to get him to play that part. .In the next scene Frank nearly comes to blows with the orchestra and in the final one he winds up by falling into the pit. Tinney has a side-splitting line of gags, pulled in his hesitating way. He explains that he knows everybody's part but his own. His hesitation over his own part at times is one of the funniest of his stunts. But while Tinney is a large part of the show, he is not the whole show. Far from it. First and foremost, besides Tinney, is the chorus which, is extremely easy to look upon and which has much more to do with the show than most choruses. A stunt, performed almost solely by the chorus, combined with the song “If a Wish Could Make It So,” stopped the show. The chorus —not the principals—was called back time and again. It wound up by asking that the cast be given a chance to appear. This song, together with “Tickle Me” and "We’ve Got Something,” are the musical hits of the show.

Dancing and spectacular costumes have a large part in the production. Opportunity is given for a number of excellent dance turns. There are two dancing teams, Frances Grant and Ted Wing, and Mary Haun and Galdin G. Sedano. Both are excellent and both are ably assisted by the versatile chorus. The production contains one scene which is both unique and extremely beautiful. This is the scene known as the ceremony of the sacred bath. The curtain rises on a stage to which is flowing great sheets of soapsuds on which colored lights are played. The sheets of suds fall from a height of six or eight feet and completely surrounds the stage. From the midst of the suds the dancers appear. The effect Is both fascinating and beautiful. Among the supporting cast who deserve special mention are Doris Arden. Rowland Woodruff. Vic Cassmore and Lillian Ring. “Tickle Me" is a well balanced show with a comedian of the very first class, a beautiful and accomplished chorus, good dancing, beautiful costumes and spectacular scenes. What more could the tired business man ask? The engagement closes at the Murat Saturday night. -I- -1- -IALSO ON VIEW, Other attractions on view today include: “Sawing a Woman in Half,” at B. I*'.
