The story of a young man who is gen.
 erally known as "Simp," because of his
 supposed bone-headedness is told in Poor Boob," a Paramount picture which
 will be seen at the Belle theatre in Ems
 ley next Wednesday, with Bryant Wash
 burn as star.
 This Simp, however, has really some-
 thing to him, as he proves when he gets town, who predicted that he would never amount to much, are forced to take back
 their prophecies when he returns to the | town as millionaire. He puts up such a big bluff that he not only wins their homage but also really establishes him. self in business and gets nominated for Congress.
 The picture is taken from the play by Margaret Mayo, which ran under the same title a few years ago.
 Monday at the Belle theatre H. B. Warner is coming in For a Woman's
 Honor" MT. Warner is a 'man's man" not one of these pretty gentlemen. He is at his best in this picture, and it is with great pleasure that the management makes the announcement of his comir .

FRED STONE BILLED AT GARY THEATRE Famous Comedian in "John- ny Get Your Gun' and Broken Blossoms"
 Coming

Fred Stone, in Johnny Get Your Gun, will be at the Gary theatre next Sat urday. The many friends of this fam ous comedian, who for years has held sway upon the speaking stage, will be glad to avail themselves of this oppor- tunity to see him in pictures.
 The name of Fred Stone, famous for years as a musical comedian as the junior member of the comedy team of Montgomery and Stone, ranks among the most brilliant of the funmakers of the stage MT. Stone began life as a circus performer and he entered upon his stage career as a member of an Uncle Tom Cabin' company In 1894 the celebrated team of Montgomery and Stone was es- tabiished and these sterling comedians were inseparable until Mr. Montgomery died in 1916. During the period they ap- peared in many notable musical comedy successes.
 MT. Stone is perhaps the most famous athletic comedian in the show business and in his latest picture, Johnny Get Your Gun" he appears at his best and proves exclusively that as lariat thrower, tight rope walker. bareback rider. skater and pantomimic player, he has no equal

BROKEN BLOSSOMS
 AT ENSLEY THEATRES
Griffith Masterpiece With Lillian Gish in the
 Leading Role

The people of Ensley are going to be able to see D. W. Griffith's master piece, Broken Blossoms" al the Frank lin theatre Friday and Saturday with wistful Lillian Gish in the leading role. And it is expected that number of Broken Blossoms" while it was in this city will motor out to Ensley to take advantage of this opportunity.
 | Broken Blossoms" is a story of a child whose life is cast among the evils of the Limehouse district of London. She wanders along her lonely way, un- loved, timid and afraid, until Her rare beauty is discovered by Chinese poet who had come to this awful district to raise the people to higher level The poet loves the child, and longs to give her toys and things that eager child hood demands. But he fears to be mis- understood
 At last the girls father. who is prize fighter. and brute, with only thought for himself, punishes the girl too se- verely, and leaves her stunned. She mopes away, trying to escape. and drops exhausted at the door of the Chinese poets shop. He takes her in, and for a few days the little girl really knows what happiness is made of She dresses in the robes of the Chinese Goddess, and really has a doll to play With. But ner happiness IS snort lived. Her father hears of her being at the home of the Chinese poet, and takes her away, and her frail, spirit yeilds at last under his harshs punishment She dies, and the Chinese poet takes her away, after shooting her father And with life all drab, because of the lost little White Blossoms" the poet takes his own life.
 Lillian Gish has proven herself the most marvellous actress perhaps of to- day, in this production. Richard Bar thelmess as the Chinese, poet is won derful in his interpretation of the mys- tic oriental. He is marvelously hand some, and his acting is superb.
 The programme for the week at the Franklin theatre is exceptionally good. On Monday William S.. Hart, the west ern favorite will be seen in Riddle Gawne" Tuesday Ora Carew will ap- pear in Loot" a mystery play. We'd nesday High Pockets" will be present. ed, featuring Louis Bennison, and Thursday will be Fred Stone'in Johnny Get Your Gun" Friday and Saturday will be Broken Blossoms

 New Orleans November S.-A hard light was made today to continue the reaction in cotton, but the worst weather fore cast of the season thus far turned the market over to the long side after the middle of the session The census bu- reau report on ginning fully met bearish anticipations, but onsy moderate and short-lived declines followed, probably because the figures had been discounted in previous recessions of this week. From decline of 23 to 8 points around the opening the market moved up to advances late in the session.
 The census bureau counted ginnlngS to November 1 at 6 279 S6f bales. against L. TT, ,159 to the same date last year ana c. 185.1B to the same date two years ago. This made the output for the period l. 3ee. 900 bales against 966,000 for the same period last year and 1.161, 900 for the same period two years ago. The Natlonai Ginners' association forecast of ginning was e,220 900 bales. indicating ginning TOT the period of 1,3H ,00o.
 The official forecast calls for ralny weather in the eastern belt and rain or STOW in the western belt. with blizzard conditions probable over portions or OK lahoma. Arkansas and north Texas, ana temperatures of freezing and below. Ine labor situation all around looks decideiy better. and may be the main feature or the opening next week.
 The advance amounted to fl to 49 points net late in the day, and the market closed at net gains of B to 43 polnts.- Shepard & Gluck.
