 The cost to each one is so small that the exhibition is worth it to every business man for the benefit and amusement of his family alone not to mention the value to him or the treat to his customer and their ap- preciation. When the committee pre- 
 sents its petition, sign it and give them your five or ten or whatever you think your customers are worth to you. boost your town and at the same time build up your own business by gett- Ing the people from the surrounding country here to see what you have to

OPENING SHOW
 A DISAPPOINTMENT

The opening attraction of the Elks Theater last night is by no means criterion for the many fine attrac- tions that have been booked by Lessees Bloom and Hearn for the coming season and the theatergoers of Pine Bluff are to be congratulated because of it. The Smart Set Comp any is not the same high class colored aggregation of former years. That own race was never more clearly de- monstrated than last night. when that company presented The Mayor of New Town to top heavy house. The gallery and balcony had been given over to the negroes and they damned them. About two hundred white patrons of the house occupied lower floor seats.
 The company had a good male chorus and that is about all that can be said for the it. The muchly tout ed comedian, S. Tut Whitney, Is no a comedian but corn field negro with little talent. The women in th' company are not even in a class Wit' those of former Smart Set successes and there is absolutely nothing to th' performance to merit endorsement The company evidently was sent Sout this early in the season for want o something better.
