MOVING PICTURE HOUSES RAISE
RATES WITHOUT REASON, FAN
CLAIMS
Editor, The Michigan Daily-
College students are generally con-
ceded to be good spenders.b.it even a
college student is averse to being a
victim of extortion, even in his few
pleasures. He will stand for high
prices if he considers the results given
worth the money, but the local mov-
ing picture theaters seem to have gone
the limit in charging the high prices
they do for some of 'the attractions
brought to Ann Arbor.
Regular Price Enough
The regular -prices charged by the
theaters should warrant the best in
moving pictures, -even counting the ad-
vertising fil s, but whenever an at-
traction wi a star of the first mag-.
nitude comes to the city the prices
are boosted about 50 per cent and
often for productions inferior to the
regular run of shows. One theater in
particular is becoming noted for this.
although it has the opportuuity of se-
curing films as cheaply, if not more
so, than any other theater in town
through a string of moving picture
houses of which-it is a member.
Says Price Greater Here
Cases have been known where the
prices charged in Ann Arbor for pic-
tures have been greater than in other
cities of about the same population.
A big attraction may cost even twice
as much as a regular picture but this
should not compel a doubling in ad-
mittance price, as other costs re-
main about the same.
The shows are well patronized by
the students, but a continuation of
such profiteering policies is likely to
turn the student body to the other ex-
treme.

CANINE MASCOT OF MARINES
HAS "TASTE" FOR MUSIC
Quantico, Va., March 16. - Only
some dogs will howl responsively to
a musical instrument.
Every time "Socks," mascot of the
U. S. Marines stationed here, hears a
bugle he will run for blocks to sit up
in front of the bugler and sing. His
favorite melody is "mess call."
"Socks" does not howl because the
music seems to give him pain, but
probably imagines he is singing, as his
howl is very tuneful.
This musical canine was brought to
this country recently by U. S. Ma-
rines returning from a tour of duty in
the Virgin Islands.
