T T 2 OKPHEO THEATRE.

Starting Monday Pine Bluff will have, an opportunity of seeing, in ad- dition to pictures. three of the finest acas on the vaudeville circuit.
 The acts will be changed every Thursday, with three entirely new acts coming direct to and from the Majestice at Little Rock.
 Relative to one Of the acs, Lew Wells, the Denver Times says:
 "Lew Wells, musical comedian who is both musical and comical amused the audience for half an hour and did it so well that he was called back time and again. Along the line Of Ezra Kendall's own humor, yet fresh and original. Wells reels off a flood of live jokes and puns, that simply keep his audience in One con- tinuous uproar. Then, too, he handles the saxaphone with more than aver age talent and the rich tones of the instrument mingle we'll with the high quality of the act
 The other two acts-a 'tsam and trio-will fill the first half.
 Monday, in addition to these high class acts, great picture III four parts, featuring Vicla Dana and Rob ert Conness, will be seen in "On Dangerous Paths,'i an attraction worth S eing.
 For the last half of the wiaek, Fields and Brown. in a lively sklt, singing talking and big dancing feature; also Sigbee's acrobatic dogs and one other act.
 Feature pictures changed daily. An added attraction for Wednesday, will be a big Fox feature, entitled "Dr. Remeau" in five parts. This is a big one and production that has repeated in the larger citi:s.

BEST THEATRE.

Monday-"Out of the Ashes," a two-part subject, featuring Edward CoXen and Winifred Greenwood. It is strong story of how an eminent surgeon and a courageous won!ars of the West found new life to- gether.
 "rha Diamond from the Sky" en- titled "Eirc, Fury and Confusion '' featuring Lottie Pickford.
 See America First and Keeping Up With the Joneses," with another good reel make very fine program.
 Tuesday-With lavishness diff cult to measure in words, with 8 generosity that conforms with all it's past traditions. the Famous Players Film company, in association with the Charles Frohman company, was not content to present one star in it's screen version of the famous dra- matic success. ''The Fatal Card" but, notwithstanding the importance and fame of the subject itself, has as- signed two of it's stars to interpret it's leading roles. These players are not less important favorites than John Mason and Hazel Dawn. This unusual stellar combination, added to the famous and at all times absorb ing drama, "The Fatal Card" makes

 Wednesday, -"The Campbells are Coming" This thrilling photoplay has aptly. been called "the military spectacle of the year." It is seldom one sees so much of the spectacular in six-r9el feature. Seldom that so much of the spectacular comes as a necessary part of the story of any play. The result is picture that rings true: that has a punch such as a vigorous director like Francis Ford knows how to get into every act 1 and every scene. The story deals with the Relief of Lucknow, in 1857 at the time of the Indian Mutiny against English occupation. Franc,s Ford plays the part of an Indian prince who is responsible for the re, volt of the natives and the suhse- qnent massacre cf the English col onv.

Many hours we spent down there. The Zeppclins of course came at night and as soon as they were discovered bueles were blown in the streets. at which warning all lights were immediately lowered and Paris became one black mass. Everyone hurries to their cellars upon this warning and remains there until another bugle call announces that all is safe. One evening friend of mine, a pho- tographer who had taken several pictures of me in my home, had din- ner with us and just as we were finishing our meal the warning was heard Hastily gathering my jewels and dog l led the way to our place of safety, my servants and the photographer closely following. While waiting for the announcement that all was well my guest thought he would like to take some pictures of Us in the cellar, and paying no attention to our warnings, he secured his outfit and here are the pictures" Thc photos, one of which is reproduced here, showed several views of pretty Miss Held in the vault underneath her house, with an immense fir coat {thrown over her shoulder Ter strong box containing her famous jewels, her servants andspet deg.
 ! My home being right opposite the Presidents Palace, continued the star, naturally it was a. dangerous place on account of the attacking: Zeppclins. On this occason, we had just taken few snapshots when terrific noise was heard in the street. Afraid to leave our place of safety I've huddcd together until finally we heard the bugle announcing that 1t
 was safe for us to return to our rooms. On reaching tie door of my home l found the entire front steps blown away and in front of the build Ing IilcIS Was st iSS ho'e "A'N- up the entire roadway.

I stood it as long as l could and will return again as soon as feel equal to the work
 In answer to question as to her immediate plans for the future Miss Held said: "I have just signed With Oliver Morosco to appear in motion pictures and will leave shortly tor Los Angeles. where his studios are located. love motion pictures and ana anxious to start work before the camera.
