BEST THEATRE.

The Vitagraph photodrama Rich ard the Brazen," will start it's engage ment today at the Best theatre. The story was written by Cyrus Town send Brady and Edward Peple and is unlike the ordinary love stories that are shown in moving pictures nowa- days.
 Alice Joyce plays the character of the American girl and she acts and looks the part to perfection. Alice Joyce is really pretty woman and in this production she seems to have been really created for the part that has been allotted to her. Harry Mo rev is seen as the young man with lots of nerve" Harry needs no in troduction to the Pine Bluff movie public. In Richard the Brazen" he has done some of his best screen work
 The story of "Richard the Brazen' is of a twentieth century knight err rant whose armor was "brass" yes, that is all that stood between Dick Williams and disaster-jIst plain brass-or what we call Yankee nerve and pluck. He got his first glimpse of the girl in a London restaurant, and he vowed he'd win her though he had to crawl through Jericho on his hands and knees to do it. He tol- lowed the radiant American beauty back to her native land, but found himself as far away from her as ever. {Then fate-and his friend Lord Croy- land stepped in.

HAUBER'S THEATRE.

Over 900 nights "The Corner Gro cer" was played in New York City, its immense popularity being due to its intense delightful love story. Now by World Pictures Brady-Made 1t is being presented as a screen play and 1t is certain to be an even greater success as a silent drama than it was on the speaking stage Lew Fields plays the stellar role in the production, his part being that of Charles Wendell, the corner grocer, whose heart was big and whose capacity for suffering was therefore equally big. Madge Evans appears with Mir Fields in the role of Mary, the little orphan who is adopted by Wendell and his wife. Madge is piquant and charming in this role and will add new admirers to the thou sands with whom she is already a tre- mendous favorit. Other film favorites aid in the rendition of this film classic. "The Corner Grocer" forms perfect screen entertainment See it at the Hauber theatre on tomorrow

This is not story of traitor or German spy. It is the amazing re- cital of Joe O'Brien, about his terrible case of Brights disease. The doctors said it could not be cured. His con- dition was pronounced hopeless, not only by private physicians, but also by doctors at the hospital He went near ly blind. On advice of physicians he started to noted hospital in New Or leans to have an operation performed on his kidneys But he never arrived there. He got so much worse on the train that the train crew put him off, thinking he was going to die. A good Samaritan took him in, nursed him and gave him medicine that restored him to health. If you are afflicted with Brights disease, or any disease of the kidneys or bladder, by all means write for a free copy of the Hobo" booklet containing the story of Joe O'Brien, as vel as sworn testimony from many others who testify they have been absolutely cured by the Ho bo Kidney and Bladder Remedy.

 The Associated Charities come 10 the rescue of George Taylor. whose home burned Thursday night
 George Taylor, a negro. who lived at Fifteenth and Missouri streets was compelled to walk fspm his nome leaving it in flames. managing only to save an old trunk of very little value
 Taylor is known as a very hard working negro. having worked for some time for the Standard Lumber company of this city. several months ago Taylor was compelled to lay off working on account of rneumatism which confined him to his home for some time. He then resumed work at the Standard mill.
 Before Taylor took sick he carried insurance on his household goods to the amount of s300.00 which would easily have replaced his loss, but during his sickness he get behind and let his insurance drop thus caus- ing him to call upon the Associated Charities for assistance, which was very gladly given.
 Taylor stated that if he was ever sick again, he would under no cir cumstances let his insurance get be- hind. Just think, for the small sum per year this would have saved this negro from humiliation, and many others as we'll.
 Now the best thing for you to do, is to insure your household goods today.
