tory for the United States that the
president should accept il even

Today-"The Redemption of Dave
Darcy" the new Vitagraph Blue Rib
bon feature has many clever ways
and means which SO often either
make or destroy the interest OF the
pictures. On one scene James Nor
rison who plays the title role is
found bound by heavy rope, hand and
foot. The building in which he is i'm
prisoned has been set fire TO and the
flames are nearing the hundreds of
ammunition shells piled in one of the
rooms. For many minutes, Morrison
struggles 10 set himself free and fin
ally manages to raise his body from
the floor. He can get no further,
however, and is fast being overcome
by smoke and weakness when he sees
sharp steel blade, set in good, on
which the different pieces of steel are
trimmed Morrison drags himself to
the blade and throwing his body
backward slowly, manages to have the
edge cut the ropes which bind his
hands.

Three years ago. the Hotel Pines,
erected by Pine Bluff men with Pine
Bluff money, that Pine Bluff might
properly entertain its visitors and
guests, first threw open its doors to
the public. In the three years, and
especially in the past year, since
Manager W. y. Trulock has been in
charge, the hotel has established an
enviable reputation. not only in the
South, but thruout the country. Home
folk and visitors alike have announc-
ed their appreciation of the service
provided by the big and handsome in
stitution, and the men who put their
money into the enterprise, more thru
civic pride than for financial profit,
have received countless compliments
on the results achieved.
The Pines big birthday party is ex-
pected to be one of the big social
events of the season. and one which
will doubtless be repeated in each sue
ceeding year, as providing a means
whereby local people can show their
own appreciation of the institution.
