 house December l.

The moving picture show, owned by
 John Ryan, and known as Rob Roy
 Castle, on West Second avenue, has
 changed hands. It has been purchas-
 ed by Thompson and Hunt of Fort Smith, two live, up to date theatrical men and vaudeville and moving pie tnre show promoters. It is the inten- ton of the new owners to equip the
 place with stage and settings and to
 completely remodel the interior of the
 playhouse. On December 1 the the-
 ater will be converted into a popular priced vaudeville house, the moving
 pictures to be one of the features in
 the daily program. High class yaude- Iville artists will be brought here week.
 ly and Pine Bluff theater goers are promised some good amusement dur Ling the coming months. It is to be hoped that Thompson and Hunt re- |ceive liberal patronage and that the public will have some place to go for amusement without being compelled to pay S1 50 for theatrical attractions when other cities are given the same shows for the usual price of $1.
