The Hero of "Brewster's Millions"

Once in a generation the name Of
an actor becomes identified with
play and both are synonymous of
success. One of the biggest money
makers of recent years was Brew
sters Millions" which was produced
by Frederick Thompson of Luna park
fame with Edward Abeles in the prin
cipal role Mr.. Abeles certainly
sprang into prominence and attained
wide popularity as a comedian in
the cities where "Brewsers Millions
was shown, but he was ambitious for
oher work and in vaudeville has
found that ambition realized He is
probably the highest paid actor from
the legitimate stage in vaudeville to-
day and he has a play that in its way
is as meritorious as "Brewster's Mil
lions" 1t is called Self Defense
and Mr.. Abeles takes the part of a
deaf mute who has been charged with
crime and the entire piece is full
OF strong situations Mr.. Abeles will
appear at Keith's Boston theatre next
week sharing honors with that fea-
ture that has been attracting such
wide attention. Annette Kellermann.

FALL IN BEHIND.

We have a great many substantial and progressive citizens who stand ever ready to lead in any enterprise that may result in the development and growth of our city. These men have at times, in the past, been much ly discouraged by q lack of co-opera- tion on the part of many of our veal thier citizens.
 We desire to impress upon these progressive public spirited men. who are always ready at every call to take the part of the bell COW" and lead in every effort to create senti- ment and bring about results for d Greater Pine Bluff, that The Graphic will lend it's most earnest support and hearty cooperation in every in- stance wherein they may be inter- ested.
 The columns of this paper are open to them at all times and, if 1t Is within our power to force into line those of our citizens who remain in- different to our city's future, We will use every effort to encourage the indifferent ones to follow the process sion of those who take the iniative and are always to the fore ill battling for Pine Bluffs development and pro- gress.
 If you cant be Bell Cow fall in behind.

IT. K Toney, would solve the ques- ton. Then the Parker road, now in operation from Monroe, La, to Ham, burg, Ark. extended on q straight line to Monticello, in Drew county, to Pine Bluff, should be built.
 It is our belief that if the citizens of Pine Bluff will, as an organized body, encourage the building of this road Pine Eyuffward, it can be se- cured. The construction of this line would be of inestimbale value to Pine Bluff and it's business interests, from every standpoint.
 It. would give us added territory and vast amount of business as the country through which it would run is richly and thickly settled.
 Monticello, Hamburg and other points are located Ill Pine BluK's ter ritory. but unless we give them tho
 railroad facilities we are sure to eventually lose this valuable trade.
 We must get together.
 Cast aside all past differences and unite for a Greater Pine Bluff.
 We must have more railroads and large factories will naturally follow.
 Pine Bluff can never become an ln- portant city unless we unite and work as unit to grasp every opportunity that knocks at our door.
 We must unite on one common plane. Get together and push. Those who fail to assist in our work for a progre ssive city should be cast aside as unfit timber for substantial building and relegated to the lumber roon,--to continue to plod along in ig- norance and darkness until gathered unto their fathers;" that their money and influence may be used by q younger and better generation, to further the development of con- munity that gave to tho unworthy sires the vast resources which they fail to use to their best advantage

We Need Railroads.

Much has been said and columns have been written in regard to the development and growth of our city.
 In one word you can express the most necessary requirements to main tain our future position. when com pared with other cities in the same class. That word Is railroads.
 Our citizens. 1t would appear. have permitted many good opportunities to go by wherein they might have sa- cured connection with the Rock Island road--the one salvation for Pine Bluff, and most necessary at the present time to develop 1t into a manufacturing city and greatly en- large adjacent territory in a com mercial way.
 Statistics prove. beyond question that small cities like Pine Bluff make railroads and that railroads make small cities like Pine Blufi larger and greater. At the present time a great opportunity presents itself to this city to secure a Rock Island connec- ton.

RIrILD BETTER BUILDINGS.

One of Pine Bluffs greatest neces- sities, according to the views express el by prominent recent visitor. is tho erection of more modern business buildings. It is an indisputable fact that every business building in our city 1t. and has always been, a fine paying investment. If the ordinary buildings of the past have proven a good investment is 1t not safe and reasonable to suppose that buildings of modern type would be more in yiting to possible tenants and be a source of revenue In proportion to their cost.
 Aside from desire to bNld up our city, it would appear to us safe business proposition to erect better class of business buildings. A start along this line will ae one i'll the right direction. Many cities. which cannot boast of the advantages of our own' can point with pride to modern sky scrapers. Before the passing of the present year 1t is our hope that Pine Blun can display to visitors modern Twentieth century office building.
