Today the tune Is changed. In “It’s a Boy,” the hero and'heroine follow the footstep*? of many and head for New Ydrk. This delightful comedy, t0 be presented by the Pickevt stock com pany at the Academy of Music Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, points out that, the big cl£y isn't always the tpecea of success; and that It asks a big price for the things that it gives. pt course, there's a boy in the story.

If I Were Queen” shows a new Ethel Clayton. Beautiful and- talent ed as ever, Miss Clayton is at her ar tistic best in romance of this character. Her picture has. atmosphere; it has body, it has all the color and pictures queness of the theatrical kingdoms of the Balkans where it is laid. If you remember the charm of ‘‘Bev erly ot Oraustark” you have some idea of the appeal of Miss Clayton’s latest production—her first, by the way, for the Film Booking Offices of America. It is the story of the adventures of an American girl in the imaginary prin cipalities of Central Europe, amid the regal pomp and splendor of high courts and sastles. It is romance from be ginning to end, romance of tha most charming character and it is in this phase of her art that Miss Clayton proves herself a star of the purest ray serene. "If I Were Queen” is built on impres sive lines. It has big scenes and situa tions galore. Perhaps the most thrill big is a railroad wreck that,caps the climax of realism on the screen. Moreover, the cast is of the utmost distinction. Besides Miss Clayton there ari' Andree Lejon, Warner Baxter, Vic tory Bateman Murdock MacQuarrie and falseness of pertain phases of big- city existence. It clearly points out that the right place to bring up a family is as far away from the roar of the ‘T>” and the unwholesome "air” of the sub way as possible. William Anthony McGuire, author of “It’s a Boy,” knows the side of New York he portrays in his comedy. He Understands the peo ple whom he brings from a small town. As a result he has created a story that is intensely,, interesting and peopled it with folks who are real. Maybe you’ll see some one you know in it, parading under another name, but the one you know just the same, because there isn’t a town but has its Chester and Phyllis Blake. Manager Kerm'on and Director Cham bers have made extraordinary efforts to have the production of "It’s a Boy” as nearly a duplicate of the New York production as is humanly -’possible. The members of the Pickert stock company are studying and rehearsing at top speed in order that their part of the performances at the Academy next week may fit perfectly into the visual surroundings. The combined efforts would seem to assure in "It’s a Boy” an evening or afternoon’s entertain ment that will surpass anything that has* been seen heretofore in a local th68<t6r» Tickets for “It’s a Boy” are now on sale at JElvington’s drug store.

The examination will be free to all the children, but for those who are found to need glas ses a fee of 33 will be required where the parents are able to pay for same, but if the parents of a child are not able to pay, then the glasses will be free, also.

B. F. TALLY. Congressman Hammer Loses Best Trousers By If. K. C. BRYANT. WASHINGTON, March 10.—W. C. Hamm*r, congressman from the Sev enth North Carolina district, left three or more pairs of trousers hanging on the dainty hat' rack In his office. There were several coats also. He felt safe in doing this, knowing that no man in Washington could1 take and use them for his own; An enterprising tailor, finding Mr. Hammer out, asked the Washington girl who was acting sten ographer for Mr. Hammer where he would find the trousers Mr. Hammer wanted mended and pressed. The little woman, a tiny wee, winsome thing, was flabbergasted for she had not heard that her big chief desired any such delicate attention for his olothes. But the caller insisted, and she took Rodolph, Valentino in the paramount ^icbire'4The Young Rajah Supported, by Wands. t H a.wIsy-' OPENING MONDAY AT THE!

A few minutes later, when the con gressman returned, he let out a row of distreess that could be heard throughout that half of the house of fice building1. “Where are my trousers, the pair that I had hanging here?" he wailed In stentorion tones. "Why," replied the office clerk, “I gave them to the tailor; he s.4d you told him to call for them.” “My time of life, young lady, I never sent anybody for my trousers; call every tailor In town until you find: those pants, they are the best ones I have," he demanded. Call as She did, the girl could not locate the particular tailor, and when, two days later, it seemed that all hope was lost, a young negro stepped in, with the missing garnfent, neatly patched, and neatly pressed, but before he had time to say anything but 75 cents the congressman charged him with taking his trousers without his permission, and he beat a hasty retreai Into the hall, and around the corridor.
