The
It Theater
Successor to the Ugo Theater.
 Medford Mail Tribune, March 3, 1913  Medford Mail Tribune, March 5, 1913 MYSTERIOUS AD EXCITES CURIOSITY
A
mysterious advertiser, who cloaks his identity behind B. Klum, has got
the town guessing on a mystic slogan which may mean much and again may
be a joke. The town is plastered with the slogan "Go to It," and
citizens are guessing. Every medium of advertising being used,
billboards, slides in picture shows, newspapers. The first appearance
of the slogan came a few days ago but recently the number of posters
has increased until every highway and byway in the city shrieks out the
admonishment to "Go to It." Klum refuses to give out any information.Citizens have guessed a number of things but don't know whether they are right or not. A preponderance of belief is given to the Commercial Club, with the armory bond election a close second. The best Klum will do is to say it will soon be a secret no longer.

Tonight a modern Hercules. The vaudeville at the It Theater last night
was applauded more than ever before, being in a class by itself,
something doing all the time. Extra quality photoplays. "The Wreck," a
three-reel Vitagraph special. "General Bunko's Victory," and "Piano
Manufacturing."
