Pickets in Milwaukee At 'Iron Curtain' Debut MILWAUKEE—"The Iron Curtain's" opening at Wisconsin Theatre was highlighted by the presence of pickets distributing handbills warning patrons to refrain from entering the theatre. Two stink bombs were dropped inside the Wisconsin, but neither the bombs or handbills kept patrons out; crowds piled in for all shows.

The handbills were issued here by the local division of the Congress of American Women. Rubber stamps carried this group's name.

Showboat Pilot Refuses To Pay St. Louis Tax St. Louis—('apt. J. \V. Mcnke, owner and operator of the showboat Golden Rod, where oldtime "mellcrdrammers" are staged, doesn't intend to give the city of St. Louis any tax cut on hLs admissions unless the U.S. courts decide that he must. License Collector Frank A. Britton received an opinion from the city counselor's office that the showboat, moored at the foot of Locust street, is subject to the 5 per cent amusement tax levied by the city on other theatres. Captain Menke wasn't impressed. "It's only an opinion," he said. Several years ago, when the city officials attempted to make Captain Menke's showboat comply with the city's theatre safety regulations, U.S. Judge George H. Moore ruled that the city had no jurisdiction over the boat, since it was on a navigable stream subject to the jurisdiction of the "War department and the federal laws.
