BEST TNEATER.

Today. Win. Fox presents his yll- lainous star, Stuart Holmes, in a great and humorous story of a boob New Englander entitled "The Broad way Sport" Heretofore Stuart Holmes has always played the heavy or vil- lain parts in Fox pictures and this characterization is entirely new to him, although it fits him wonderful ly. showing the results Of long prac- tice in makeup.
 The story concerns certain Heze- kioh Dill. an awkward, bespectacled gawk who dreams of living the high life on Broadway. He is the clerk in q flour mill ill a small New England town and prospects for his ideal life do not n"m in any way towards com ing true. In an extraordinary man. ner he comes upon large sum of money and then he goes to "the great white way" and believe us a nick never changed into st2ge-Goor John- ny q quick as he did.
 The picture is well-handled and the management of the Best feels that it can say with all truthfulncss that this is one of the best Fox pictures that has ever appeared here in several months. It's humor is delicate and refined and in every way will satisfy any orc az a pleasing piece of enter tainment.

Vice President Herbert and Others Coming to Discuss
 River Bank Matter.

Secretary Bloom. of the chamber of commerce yesterday received tele- gram from Vice President J. NJ. Her bert of the Cotton Belt, announcing that Mir. Herbert. Colonel Howal and other Cotton Belt officials will be in Pine Bluff Saturday morning, for a short stay here.
 The telegram did not state the pur- pose of the visit of the party, bat there has been correspondence recent ly between the Cotton Belt and the chamber of commerce relative to the need for work on the river bank near the Cotton Belt shops, the presumption is that the party IS coming for a con- ference relative to the proposition.
 MT. Bloom expects to obtain today more detailed information as to the purpose and plans of the visitors, fol- lowing which he will perfect arrange ments locally to meet with their de- sires and wishes.
 Both houses of congress have pass ed rivers and harbors bill which now awaits the signature of President Wil- son to make it a law, and because a considerable appropriation in the measure is made for the benefit of the Arkansas river, it is expected the fed eral authorities will not delay any work on the river banks here which is really necessary, as is the case in the vicinity of the Cotton Belt shops.
