CHANGES MADE
 !. IN FIGHT BILL FOR LABOR DAY
Leyson Goes on Instead of Miller Against Roberts
 Seat Sale Opens

Two switches have been made in the American Legion's Labor Day fight card to be staged in Elks Hall on the evening of August 31 it was announced today by Match
 maker Brown. Tiger Layson, Fili- pino scrapper, is substituting for Soldier Miller with Young Eddie Roberts as his opponent, and Gun boat Gus Norblad is substituting for Soldier Daily against Young Shar- key, the Unalga Sailor
 Layson has fought twice here, once losing a decision and the sec- ond time winning on a foul. He was against bigger men both times and so far outweighed and over matched he had no chance to show his wares. He is well-matched with Roberts and this bout should be as good as the average final. Norblad is said to have fought some good men in Europe and is expected to give Sharkey quite an argument.
 The sale of reserved seat tickets was opened yesterday and good advance demand was reported. The pasteboards may be had at the Alaskan Hotel, Burford's Corner, the Imperial and Pioneer Pool halls.

FARCE COMEDY OPENS
 AT PALACE SUNDAY

The filming of Lady Be Good, ? the First National Picture which opens Sunday matinee at the Pal ace Theatre, was unusually inter- esting for every member of it's cast, for it recalled the days of their tiieatre experience before the nov ies got them. t
 Almost the entire picture takes place backstage in a vaudeville theatre, with the principal action of the story taking place in the wings, the dressing rooms and "out in front" f
 The same waiting about in cold dressing rooms and dingy, theatres for rehearsals and the old famil- jar atmosphere of the theatre took the actors back to the days before the moving pictures changed their lives, for almost without excep- ton the members of the cast had training in the legitimate theatre.
 First Nationals permanent thea- tre set in a building by itself is a playhouse complete in every detail.

AbOut the Book
 Mother Knows Best" was, and still is, one of the most widely discussed stories in years. Con- troversy made it talked about. It was argued that Miss Ferber had in mind a certain actress, and her mother. However, the theme would fit almost any child star and her mother from the days of Corinne and Jeannie Kimball-and what's the difference?

Then Beadle says that the plea

The pair based their applica-

lake in which Lebouef's body was
found The pistol, identified by
the dead mans son as that OF his
father, was not thrown into the
lake by Beadle, as charged by
