CLEVER CHILDREN ADD
INTEREST TO LYRIC BILL

Somewhere there may be Juvenile en-
tertainers who are cleverer than those
seven at the Lyric the first part of this
week. but they are not in vaudeville.
Ranging from ages of FIVE to ten or
eleven. the diminutive performers do
everything the adult big tiners do
and succeed as well as any. and much
better than many, in making their act
interesting. None of the children are
given credit on the program for their
work. the act being simply billed as
Seven Little Darlfngs." The six cute
little girls are all pretty and attractive
and the boy. who initiates one we'll

is not homeiy by any means, but, of
course, boys weren't intended to be
good looking. The children sing songs,
dance Spanish. Hawaiian and classic
dances. as well as plain old United
plays harp to everyone's satisfaction.
One OF the girls Is given the lead in
the act, possibly because she is a dancer
possessing grace to remarkable de-
gree for one SO young, and her num-
hers were all received with favor. The
Seven Little. Darlings" proved to be
one of the best acts brought to the
Lyric this season.

Direct from its sensational run of
nearly seven months at the Aston
theater in New York last season,
whore 1t registered a veritable tri-
umph. Her Soldier Boy" the Messrs.
Shuberts' military musical play, comes
to the Academy Friday and Saturday
and Saturday matinee. New York
public and critics waxed enthusiastic
over Her Soldier Boy when 1t was
first given its metropolitan premier
last fall, and the assurance is given
that the local Offering will be in every
respect the equal, If not even better,
than was that enjoyed on Broadway.

young American, caught in Belgium
at the commencement of. the war,
and the heart romance of Alain
Teniers and Marlene Delaunay, a
dashing young officer and a pretty
Belgian girl. There is a lot of genu-

the catchy and tuneful song numbers
which already have been made quite
popular because of their rendition in
the New York presentation of the
play. and which will be repeated here
in It's entirety.

n. M, judge of the Third judicial dis
trict composed of the counties OF
Dona Ana, Otero, Lincoln and Tor

headquarters at Albuquerque, his
views on the statewide prohibition
question. Judge Medler's letter says:
Tn my opinion, II statewide prohi
hition carries and is made effective,
the criminal business in the courts
of the state will decrease so per cent,
and the expenses of conducting the
courts of New Mexico will result in
a saving to the taxpayers of hundreds
of thousands of dollars per year.
make this statement and my opinion
is based upon a close observation of
the class and character of business
before ME on the criminal side of the
courts during the course OF the past
six years. At least one-haf of the
criminal business originates. directly
or indirectly, through the use of intoX-
icating liquors as a beverage, II is my
firm conviction that the cost of con-
Quoting the courts, other than sala-
ries OF officials, will be decreased If
prohibition carries, az least 60 per
cent
Judges Generally Dry.
The dry leaders assert that there
is general disposition on the part of
the district judges of the state to line
up strongly in favor of the PROPOSE
ton for statewide prohibition. Every
letter so far received from district
judges is an emphaticaiiy dry letter.
II is urged by the drys that If there
is anybody capable Of authoritatively
speaking about the effect of the sa-
loon on crime, it surely is the district
judges before whom the criminal
cases Of the state are tried
