ADJUSTMENTS
EDISON TALKING MOVING
PICTURES

Just the other day in New Bruins.
wick, New Jersey, the manager of the
Edison Talking Picture Company
was standing at the door of the
theatre, listening to the co1nlnents
Of the audience as they filed out
after the first presentation of this
latest theatrical offering in that
town.
All went glowiagly for a time and
the manager was delighted with the
words of praise and WOnderment he
overheard, for it meant capacity"
business for the balance of the en-
gagement. Then, just at the end Of
! the procession came "a little old
couple.
The dear old lady, skeptical of
those NEW tangled co1traptions,"
was overheard to say to her COM
panion:
mo. Silas, they can't fool me-
there was a man back of that curt
ain,-yes, a whole lot Of people
back there, too"
Mr.. Edison would doubtless have
been delighted could he have heard
that honest criticism of his wonder
full invention.
The Edison Talking Pictures come
to the Elks theatre Pine Bluff, for
an engagement of two days beginning
Friday, January 2. A splendid series
of the latest successful Kinetophone
productions will be shown by the

aeIRL OF MY DREAMS"

Frank Smithson, the vetern stage
producer, declares that the musical
play "The Girl of My Dreams" which
he staged, is the most perfectly con-
structed piece that he has even seen.
So far it has not been necessary to
change a line of the book or lyrics,
OF the position OF any of the music.
This is very remarkable, as most
musical comedies of today are bits
Of artistic theatric mosaic in which
the producer is the master mind.

PLENTY OF OYSTERS.

Oystermen who have been catching
oysters out of the Mispillion River for
many wears past claim that the biyalves
are more plentiful this season than has
ever been known of before, and that
the quality of the oyster is poorer, due
to the conditions of the atmosphere
which has given US east winds and high
tieds causing a heavy flow of salt water
preventing oysters from fattening. As
soon as the spring tides are over they
are sure that a noted change will take
place and the oysters will become fat
and worth eating. So plentiful are the
oysters that oystermen think they could
catch enough oysters to supply every
one of them from the South Beach to
the ietty without coming into the river
al all.
