What Adolphe Menjou told the Board of Tax Appeals ... Stars of the film world who have been appearing before the Board of Tax Appeals In America are quite frank in expressing their opinion of the factors which are of greatest importance to them in maintaining their hold on the picture-going public .... and the principles they enunciate hold good with everybody, no matter what their walk In life may be. Here is a statement made by Adolphe Menjou, popular film star of the World, who is now starring in "100 Men and a Girl." FROM "N.Z. TRUTH," DECEMBER 15th, 1037. Before the Board of Tax Appeals (Hollywood) Adolphe Menjon's lawyers told the Board that "For years he has been listed amongst the best dressed men of the world." Over 50% of his engagements, it was claimed, were secured because of the completeness of bis wardrobe. Seeking a deduction from his Income Tax return on account of what was virtually a "business" expense, they stated that his cleaning bills amounted to 1120 dollars (£224) a year. This is a practical tip in the importance of appearances that everybody can heed with advantage. As we have said before, it doesn't matter what a person's station is in life, man or woman, and no matter what their ability may be, it is by their appearances that they are largely judged. To all people who consider their appearances, cleaning and pressing is an important factor in maintaining standards without expense. In fact, ty is even more than this—it Is a big factor In dressing economically. We would again remind you that to-day is Monday .... and Taylor's provide a cleaning and pressing service that visitors from overseas frankly state to be unequalled anywhere in the world . . . to-day is Monday—'phone 31-820 and have Taylor's call for your suit or frock. Or work may be left at the Factory, 57-59 Kilmore Street, or at Taylor's Depot, 678 a Colombo Street, opposite Ballantynes.
