QUEEN THEATRE
The Queen Theatre today is showing for
the last time the big patriotic and social
spectacle “Every Mother’s Son." This pic-
ture stands in a class by itself for it is
the screen epic of the heroic part played by
the wives and mothers of America in the
world war.
Some of the finest work ever seen on the
ecren is done by Charlotte Walker as the
woman who gives her husband and three
sons to the cause of democracy.
The production was staged by the noted
director R. A. Walsh.

Mnrguerite Clark the dainty diminutive
magnetic star of “Wildflower” "The Cru-
cible." and “The Goose Girl" will appear
in the fine Paramount picture "Gretna
Green” at the Queen Theatre tomorrow.
To learn she has married the man she be-
lieves she detests is the unusual position
Miss Clark finds herself in at the climatic
period of her portrayal of Dolly Erskine
heiress belle and coquette of Harrowgate.
Miss Clark’s winsome personality and her
piquant beauty make the tantalizing and
bewitching role of Dolly Erskine an ideal
character creation.
