| Description: | News in Brief: Mississippi, Cinema Tax Lowered. Group of business people (movie theater owners) climb steps to Mississippi State Capitol building. Governor Hugh L. Jackson signs a bill into law while these folks watch; apparently the law reduces the tax on movie tickets. Woman moviegoer stands at box office window for tickets. Close up of sign detailing the price, federal tax, and state tax. A man standing nonchalantly nearby rips off the part of the sign listing the Mississippi state tax. | |
