    Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses a major concern of theatre-owners: the burdensome 10% tax on admissions, levied during World War I. Exhibitors are adamant about having it removed, and the author presents a compelling case for their position, offering a historical context about the relationship between politicians and their constituents. The author outlines a well-coordinated, grassroots campaign to mobilize public sentiment, and enlist the support of theatre patrons to pressure lawmakers into repealing the tax. The book makes a strong argument against this unfair tax, considering the marginal profits upon which many theatre-owners rely for their livelihood, and the tax's disproportionate impact on smaller establishments. It's a call to action for theatre-owners to unite with their patrons and demand fairer treatment from their elected officials. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
