 "A Pair of Queens is one of the most Imaginable and entertaining offer-> ings that has ever graced the foot lights of the Lyceum. The plot, for it has one with a laugh interwoven in every line, centers around young husband. Peter Cranby (Smythe Wal

 of the absence of the formers wife
 and go out to see a little bit of old
 Broadway, finally ending up at Jacks
 restaurant at a disreputable hour in
 the morning. The place is raided but
 they manage to escape to Cranby's
 home. The next morning they make
 several startling discoveries, viz: That
 the morning papers have an account
 of the raid the night before: that

 coat taken in which was a large

 haste to leave the restaurant, took
 the wrong coat which incidentally,
 contains the missing wallet; that his
 coat has been found by the police;
 that his trousers are covered with
 blood; that detectives have surround ed his house and last but not least that his wife, instead of staying away for the day, has taken an early train for home and is there to greet him when he steps from his room in the morning. To try to describe the many com plex> >entanglements and humorous situations which arise and how every
 thing is at last strengthened out would do an injustice to those who see the play. Miss Margie Dow is the one star who shines more brightly than any of the others and is cast to excellent advantage as Martha, the maid. She has an excruciatingly funny part to portray and embraces it to the fullest exteft. swaying her audience to parox- 1 isms of laughter with no apparent ef- fort.

BOARD OF CENSORS

It is evident that the statement made by the National Board of, Censors, that they could not suggest single change in picture or titles--and that they recommend 'The Barrier highly as a play for young persons and children, has had ] it's effect in other cities where every performance, particularly the mat Mees. have been well patronized by young folks.

 The photoplay version of Rex thrilling story strong as are the situations in the book itself, has been accorded added value of hav- ing the author give it his personal at- tention and supervision. MT. Beach gave his personal supervision to 'The Barrier" cooperating fully with Di- rector Edgar Lewis throughout the entire production.
 The music was especially written for ''The Barrier" by Fred O. Hanks and Sol Levy. Music critics have pronounced it excellent and unusual.
 MT. Stuart Holmes will be the Fox feature Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the show will run continuous from 2.15 until 1O:30. Patriots day the second matinee performance will start at five o'clock. Friday and Saturday there will be four performances of The Barrier" at 2:15. 4:30, 6:45 and 9 o'clock each day owing to the i'm : mence popularity of this great photo play.

PAIR OF QUEENS
 GATHERS THE MOSS
Better Than ''Paf of Sizes" at
 Lyceum and Other Places

As every advocate of the national indoor pastime knows, a pair of sixes is not as good as a pair, of queens providing one of them does not get lost in the shuttle. This also holds true in theatrical circles. That it does was proved conclusively last evening at the Russwin Lyceum when the Walter Naylor players presented for approval "A Pair of Queens" written by the author of a Pair of Sizes. :" Both are clever productions but as their names imply, the former wins in the showdown. No better remedy for the tired business man or to chase away gloom can be suggested than to see this uproarious comedy which, less than a year ago, was playing to capacity houses in New York.

Little Damage Resulted to Wheat

Wheat fields in the vicinity of East

made a our through the Minnesota

Thousands of acres Of wheat, barley

ready for harvest, and by the first Of
next week, fields of waving grain will
have been converted into veritable
shock dotted prairies. Samples Of fine,
well filled heads, with plump kernels,
were brought back by the local men.
The straw is short, however.
Green fields in the valleys have suf-
fered. however, from the terrific heat,
and garden stuffs have also been seri-
ously damages. Corn suffered slightly,
but potatoes were not as badly dam
aged as was at first thought The yield
may be cut down considerably as a
result, however.
