AT THE ARCADIA.

Arcadia Theatre has a picture now
on exhibition that has attracted the
attention OF the whole picture-going
public OF wilmington. II is THE
Child Thou Gavest Me-" a touching
story OF love and the home. Little
Richard Headrick. the sensational
child actor. plays the title role. He Is
such an adorable youngster and ap-
pears so utterly at ease before the
camera that not a little credit for
the success OF the film goes 10 him.
This is the second time within
week that he has appeared an the
Arcadia screen and the patrons OF
the theatre have about lost their
hearts TO him.

ly trained and seem almost human
in the manner in which they sport
themselves on the screen.
Lon Chaney. Betty Blythe and

human cast.
