Little Rock Gazette Says Miss Hearn Is Wasting Her Time on Silly Rot in ~WithOut a Mother to
 Guide Her."

The show which is to be seen here tomorrow night must be awful bad 7, according to the critic of the Little Rock Gazette, who says:
 Miss Alma Hearn, who appeared in No Mother to Guide Her at the Cap ital theater yesterday afternoon and last night, is an old favorite in Lit tie Rock, hence the reception accorded her. for it certainly was not the merit of the melodrama. Miss Lillian Morti- mer has turned out sundry pretty queer melodramas, but she has sur passed all previous efforts for general dopiness in this production. No mor- tai dramatist ever before conceived such succession impossible situa- tions. If there is plot it is hopeless ly befogged Things just happen. Here is sample scene: The villain commits a burglary, steals the wife of his pal and introduces her to a Gypsy camp, where already he had concealed a former victim. He chlorO- forms Bunco, the girl who had no mother to guide her (and evidently needed one) and ties her in sack, shoots man and persuades his pal whose wife he had stolen that he Che paD had shot him; dOpes his former girl victim. the shot man revives and he knocks him out with slungshot. Then Bunco by the aid of another doped victim gets out of the sack and Jugs off the wounded man. This is followed by a double wedding, that of the villain and his pals wife who be- lieves him dead and a comedy rube couple. The wedding is performed by a preacher who keeps his hat on and is followed by cyclone and the villain is immediately engaged in knife duel with the last man he shot All this excitement is in one scene, and it is sample of the whole.
 Miss Hearn is truly quite a clever soubrette, who could give a good ac- count of herself in a respectable play. It is shame that she should be wasting her time and talents on such silly rot. The one good feature of the
 show is that it is less than two hours long.

NEW DIRECTORY
 F0R PINE bLRFf We Will Soon Know the Ex- act Population of This City, Since the Arrival of New Residents
DIRECTORY LIBRARY
TO Be Established Here-Rig Force oi Directory Men Started Out Today in Pine Blufi-What a Directory Means to Pine Blun.

/ Active work has commenced on the new city directory of Pine Bluff, and the canvass and compilation will beEfpushed to completion. The new book will be issued by Folks South ern Directory Co.,, semi-local insti- tuition with all the advantages and fa- cilities of national organization, and bids fair to be model of complete. ness and accuracy.
 The city directory is a matter of great importance to a community for it clearly portrays the growth, devel- opment and progress as no other work can. Every individual is interested and represented in it. The popula- ton of place, based on directory sta- tistics, has always been found to be the most accurate, and it is confden' tially expected that the forthcoming directory will show a healthy increase in Pine Bluff. and there is no surer Sndex of development than growth in population Besides the large num- Der of directories which will be in cir culation in the city, the Pine Bluff directory will be placed on file for reference in the directory libraries Of all the principal cities over the coun- try. Hence good directory is as in dispensaGle' in a city of any size as newspapers, water and electric lights.
 Polk S Southern Directory Co. is abundantly equipped in every way to present creditable edition, and the Pine Bluff directory will have the advantage of force of experienced di- rectory compilers and enumerators. The Fort Smith directory, just issued. is a fair sample of what Pine Bluff may expect. The directory field is larger than most people are aware of, as many regard it as temporary undertaking. The men engaged in making the Pine Bluff census are all experienced directory men, and find permanent employment in this line through the exchange of employees with all legitimate directory publish CTS. Among them may be mention ed c. k. Yetter. F. Craig, R. c. Day, Victor Scofeld, Osa Ford. J. C. Hiatt, M. J. Bosquett and R. H. Bartlett
 D. R. Summers, who is in charge of the work on the new directory, has had a great deal of experience in this field, and during several years of con tinnous services has gotten out di- rectories, gazetteers, atlases, etc., in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn.; Richmond. Norfolk, and Newport News, Va; Lincoln, Neb; Kansas City, St. Joseph, Joplin, Springfield and Sedalia, Mo; Topeka and Leaven- worth, Kan, and many other cities.
 The office of the directory men is located at the Adams Printing Com pany, No. 300 West Barraque, and it is the intention later to establish a di- rectory library in Pine Bluff, em- bracins directories of all the principal and neiShboring cities
