Butte Theater Drops Music Amid War Strain
In Butte the local theater trade, hit by war conditions and a government tax, cut music to save costs. Patrons now watch silent films and enjoy vaudeville with amateur accompaniment as managers avoid raising admission prices. The industry notes are that no house covers expenses. In Billings a jury found F. J. Isreal guilty of sedition with a sentence of 1.5 to 3 years. Three jurors signed affidavits claiming they voted to reach a verdict but believed Isreal innocent. The defense seeks a new trial. Montana notes say case has no precedent.
