Bee Want-Ads Produce Results. v EALISM in motion pictures has always been a prime requisite, and in the "Girl From Out side," which opened a week's run at the Sun theater Sunday, this point will be noticed at once as being par ticularly striking. ' Jor example, the Seattle boat is seen being unloaded on the bleak shores of Nome, Alaska,, where the "Girl From Outside" plays her part. The date is 1900, and the scene re calls to mind those days of the Klon dike rush; Barrels, boxes, crates, cases groceries of all kinds, cloth ing, implements, mining tools, and all equipment for the camp, are un loaded, and much ot the action takes place during this procedure. Every foot of the picture is full of interest and thrills. Strand-f-Mystery stones in the movies have heretofore usually been left to the hectic, badly jumbled serial atorv. In "His Wife's Friend," starring Dorothy Dajton, and which ii a- t-.'xi.. -ce - . win continue to uc tiic uiiciiiig i the Strand today and Tuesday, Thomas 1 H. Ince has produced a highly interesting piece of work in which a baffling murder case is mingled with a love theme of more than ordinary appeal. The murdered man is an eccentric millionaire whose obsession is chess, which he plays in solitude to the neg lect of his young wife. A former sweetheart of the wife's appears, and the husband, to all intents and pur poses, commits suicide .to allow the two to be free and marVy. However, suspicion points to thje wife's ad mirer and the audience is kept in suspense jvhile the scenes shift to India where the suspected man is a major in the British army in a cam paign against the rebels. It is a highly entertaining mystery picture you will enjoy seeing. Moon In "The Lord Loves the Irish," J.

As "Hardwood" John Haynes, Bill starts out as a lumberjack in I the northwest woods and is lured to the southern city largely because he believes it is a saloon that has been willed to .him. His adventures there furnish thoroughly entertaining story in Mr. Hart's best style, in volving his rescue of a girl from drowning in the Mississippi and dramatic exposal of the man who has caused the suicide-. Supported as he is by a fine cast, the picture is worth while seeing. Muse George Walsh, playing Buck Simmons, Yale athletic and college hero, in "The Winning Strpke," one of the best college photoplays ever created is shown as stroke oar of the Yale crew in the Yale-Harvard boat race. He rows the race despite the fact that a jealous rival holds a loaded pistol ready to shoot him if he wins. Just what Walsh does in this situation makes one of the big punches of this play, which opens a two-day engagement at the Muse theater today. ( AT .THE THEATERS After Sheila's departure for Amer ica, Miles Machree tollows, and gets a position on the New York police force through hii. uncle, a political boss. While on duty he chances. upon clues of a counterteitmg scheme and follows them, discover ing Sheila' to be engaged to her father's secretary, one Dexter, who is the tool of the master counter feiter. The counterfeiters are cap tured, Dexter let gotfree and Miles captures Sheila as his reward.

Will Your Income for Year 1919 Exceed $1,000? "If So, Don't Fail to Read This ; '' ' BY JOSEPH A. BLONDELL. ; If you are. single and your net income this year exceeds $1,000, you and required to file an income tax report. ' , If you are married and your net income this year exceeds $2,000, you are required to file an income tax report. s s A single person is allowed a personal exemption of $1,000. " -i - A married person is allowed a personal exemption of $2,000, plus $200 for each child dependent upon and receiving chief support from you. i A married person not living with husband or wife is allowed a per sonal exemption of $1,000. . Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and any person who fails to file a return of taxable net income is subject' to a fine of not more than $1,000 and,' in addition, 25 per cent of the amount of the tax due. Penalty for filing a false or ft audulent return, a fine not exceeding $10,000 or not exceeding one year's imprisonment, or both,, in the dis cretion of the court, and, in addition, SO per cent of the tax evaded. All companies and firms are required to send to the United States Internal Revenue Department a list of all employes that received $1,000 or more, showing names, addresses, whether married or single, occupa tion and amount of salary, etc., paid to each individual during the calendar year 1919. From this you can readily appreciate that by failing to file a return; that is, if you are required to do so, that the department may readily check up to ascertain if you compiled with the requirements of the law. "' ' ' ; THE TAX. - , After deducting the personal exemption, all net income up to $4,000 is taxable at 4 per cent, and all net income above $4,000 is taxable at 8 per cent ( ' An additional tax, called surtax, is imposed at graduated rates on net income in excess of $5,000; in other words, on net income between $5,000 and $6,000 the surtax rate is 1 per cent. From $6,000 on, the surtax rate increases 1 per cent on each $2,000. ; . f Persons' having incomes as below would compute the tax as follows: . , , , . SINGLE PERSON.

WHETHER we accept as ul timate the conclusion reached in "Tea for Three," we must admire the clever approach adopted by Roi Cooper Megrue in what he calls a "new angle on the triangle." His argument is plausible, his de ductions logical, and the event pos sible but. . However, let tis not spoil the taste of the delectable dish of tea served with such grace and sincerity by dashing it with any bitters of cynical distrust. If peo ple think they can play with fire and not get burned, talking to them will not change their minds. And it is the rarest tribute to the skill of three actors that this charm ing comedy of words is saved from being a mere talk-fest. theirs it is to put behind their words the sense of meaning that gives them a qual ity of interest to challenge and hold the attention. How well this is done scarcely can be told in mere words, but' Mr. Hackett, Miss Mildred Evans and Mr. Hayden Stevenson make it so real one almost forgets it is at the theater and not a tragic episode of real life. In fact, they. make it look so easy there is dan ger that some darned fools will try it, and land just about where those things generally wind up. As an exponent of Platonic love, Mr. Hackett argues long and well; only he does not pretend that his passion lacks all fleshly attributes, simply maintaining his balance be cause his devotion is such that like Lovelace, he could "not love, her half so -well, loved he not honor more," He gives to the1 crisp and snappy epigrams the tang that bites clean without irritating, and sends home the philosophy for it has philosophy and sound enought, too irresistibly. Umaha has come to know Norman Hackett fairly well, and to expect much from him, but here he is displaying to better and more convincing effect than ever before his established ability. ' Mildred Evans as the wife must prfre herself between the! husband she honestly loves and the friend who frankly avows his love for her, and for whom she feels something a little deeper than friendship, not an easy thing to do, and productive of some inevitable complications, because of the altogether natural jealousy of her husband. She is be tween Scylla and Charybdis most of the time, and her inept fibs only serve to make her innocence appear gum. one. is cnarming in evry way, and convincing, too. , Mr. Stevenson, as the husband whose interest is irt real estate deals and who knows nothing whatever of triangle?, save as applied to tracts of city property ne is trying to swing, goes about his share of the evenino-'e. work with an apparent relish, adding me inurement mat saves tnr flavor of the comedy, and ven at the end maices tne nnisn look quite the only thing to do. Two minor roles, a -mairl riv Mice Newkirk and valet bv Mr. Cnhn ar perefect in conceotion and tion. This "lesson for jealous hus- ui certainty worm ine ertort. "The Chocolate Soldier" bids fair to become the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" of the light Opera world. One never grows tired o. reading a good book ?Jvu ?ain' and hearing and seeing iue nocoiaie soldier ' again is the same. Kalph Dunbar's revival ' of ine ueorge Bernard Shaw and Oscar Straus comic opera opened a week's engagement at the Brandeis last night. .Those who aooreciate irnnA miic.V diu a tieiignuui plot will trnd in "The. wnocoiate soldier . two hours and naif of excellent entertainment. sparKlm With cleverness nnrt huh. bling over with music of the sort tnat leaves a lasting impression, xne unocoiate soldier has not ; cull moment in the entire nrorltir. tion. The plot itself, which is none other than Shaw's "Arms and the Man," a satire on the military of the Balkans, has enough keen moments to satisfy even if there was no mnsir. The cast of artists has been carefully chosen for the Dunbar revival. A large chorus and a pretty one, pic turesque costumes, an unusually good lot of principals and beautiful stage settings and scenery all help make this pleasing revival of the Straus light opera a notable one. Of the artists, the iollv. Muster. ing Colonel Popoff of the Bulgarian army as played by Oeorge O Don- nell, has a considerable share of the limelight, and deserves it Tames Stevens with his "Dear Sir, Mister Bumerli," is charming. Miss Hel ena Morrill has the difficult role of Nadina and her voice is a reve lation. George Shields as the pompous, hery mustached Massak- rott does himself credit in this pic turesque part. Tack ' Phillies in the role of Alexius, the immaculate, ego tistical hero, is a clever actor and a charming tenor singer. Miss Nelba Alexander does well "with the part of the saucy Mascha, niece of Popoff. Miss Sylvia Thome as Aurelia, Popoff's wife, pleases. The acts on "this week's Or- pheum program are as variant as the points of the vaudeville compass and each yesterday made a success ful bid for favor. Albertina Risen and her interpretative dance crea tions, assisted by three young- lan cers, a violinist and a pianist, has a real artistic offering. Miss Rasch displays her own particular ability in three numbers, Menuet, Mus ette," and "Chinoise." A pleasing personality and grace are the fac tors of her success. Agnes Roy, Emelie Culver and Florence Trevor pppear in several clever enseni Die numbers. Louis Woltt has an op portunity to show that he is a mas ter of the bow and Milton J. Wig- genhorn assists at a piano. . Harry Breen, singing comedian and rapid song writer, is one of the best laugh producers of the sea son. He paraphrases popular songs and has many of the' old-time nurs ery jingles and playground ditties in his repertoire. The return of Tames J. Morton' relieves Orpheum nes of the necessity of referring to their programs, as he humorously announces each act in a few lines of witty reference which add to the merriment of 'the occasion. Bryan Lee and Mary Cranston in "A Brittany Romance," have a n'easinir assortment of chatter, singing and dancing, Miss Cranston being endowed with more than or dinary pulchritude. The Kanazawa Japs introduce comedy M their foot juggling act which is of a high or der. Jack Sidney and Isabel Town ley have an amusing bit of nonsense, "A Subway Flirtation." William Ebs, ventriloquist, has a real sur prise novelty that would be spoiled by the telling. Miss Robbie Gor done offers eleven character studies and noses from old masters and original designs. Topics of the Day and Kinograms add to the pleasure of an interesting Christmas week bill It is a musical bill at the Empress, headed by three Mufanis, who spe cialize in character and harmony singing. Their repertory contains a great many old-time .melodies as well as the up-to-date song leaders, and their fashion of putting over their wbrk wins them friends from the very start. Following them is "Billy" Scott, who is Scotch by na ture though of American birth. -He does the jigs, Strathspeys and reels with all the fervor and finish of a genuine Caledonian, iplays the pipes and sings to the delight of all, juggles and generally makes himself. a favorite. John Orren and Lillian Drew show remarkable Versatility in their imitation of familiar sounds of a barnyard, while Edmonds and Roarers wind uo the vaudeville en tertainment with a singing and talk ing act that sends the laugh reg ister spinning' high'- up. George Walsh is offered in the William Fox special, '.'The Beast,'- an intensely dramatic picture ,that shows how a man's passions may be brutal with out brutalizing. The Outing Ches ter, the Pathe weekly and the Mack Swain comedy round out the big bill. Says Wayne Afraid of Omaha University Team Manager Paul Pressly of the Omaha university announces that the two games that were to be played with the Wayne Normal has, been cancelled by that school. No reason was given. "Wayne is absolutely afraid of us," Manager Pressly said. "They found out that we have a winning team this year and got cold feet." This leaves a bfg gap in the Uni's schedule. Manager Pressly is ne gotiating with Kirksville and Palmer universties of Missouri for games to fill 'the open dates. " ; "...

' t Washington, Dec. 21.Passage of a joint resolution providing for pay increases to navy - personnel recommended by him in November,' was urged by Secretary Daniels in a letter to Speakef Gillette o the. house, in which the secretary deV clared that due to the 'loss. of Us skilled men the(navy-Ow was) un able to operate the number of ships that "should be kept in commis sion." .')...

Emphasizing the necessity of im mediate action by congress, Secre tary Daniels asserted - that while total enlistments now were about 102,000,, the majority of these were boys under 19 years of age, enter-, ing as apprentice seamen. He added that, based on the diminishing number of warrant and petty officers in the service, the navy- has in fact an effective enlisted personnel -of omy 45,000. ; May Mean Reduced Crews. 't Due to the1 rapid loss, of men in the skilled grades because of the higher wages obtainable in civil life, Mr. Daniels said, it will be neces sary, unless congress takes prompt action, to enable the navy to secure, an adequate number of these men to send the eight dreadnoughts of the Atlantic fleet to Guantanamo.
