The Royal theatre has secured David Wark Griffith's superb screen creation, "Broken Blossoms," to be shown all next week. Never has a motion picture been accorded a reception comparable to the triumph that has followed every showing of this production.

Everywhere its success has been instantaneous. The story of "Broken Blossoms" Mr. Griffith adapted from a tale by Thomas Burke called "The Chink and the which is part of that anthor's famous volume, "Limehouse Around this story Mr. Griffith has built the most alluring yet pitiful, beautiful, yettragic love story ever filmed. Lillian Gish as "The Girl" has reached the climax of dramatic interpretation.

She has labored faitbfully, steadily, with an understanding marvelous in one 80 young, and now she comes into her full glory in "Broken Blossoms." "The Chink" is played by Richard Barthelmess and to his work the critics have paid high tributes likewise. Donald Crisp plays the part of "Battling Burrows," the brute on whom fatherhood has been forced. A special program has been prepared, including the music which Mr. Griffith personally arranged, and some of which he composed. Miss Bernice Barlow, popular Little Rock singer, sings "Broken Blossoms" in the prologue.

"THE BOOMERANG." David Belasco's greatest of all comedy success, "The Boomerang." Winchell Smith's and Victor Mapes' delightfully human comedy, after pletely shattering every previous known record for box office receipts, following its enormously successful record in the Belasco theatre, New York, where "The Boomerang" ran for 63 consecutive weeks, breaking all records for the Belasco theatre and for any dramatic offering or theatre in New York during its year and a quarter solid run, will be the attraction at the Kempner theatre on Wednesday next, matinee and night. Following its notable run of 63 consecutive weeks in the Belasco theatre, New York, where some 555,000 people saw "The Boomerang," which during this time played to an -average business of $12.555 per week, closing to capacity business in order to fulfill booking in Chicago, "The Boomerang" continued to shatter all previous known records for receipts at Powers' theatre, Chicago, averaging week after week $13,000.

Daisy Hodgine, the juggling equestri-, enne, will- appear in the Sells-Floto circus, which will play in North Little Rock Thursday, November 13. In the Number One sideshow of the circus there are a lot of things, which the obliging gentlemen in the red neckties will describe to you most convincingly. Of course, there are the Zanzibar pinheads, the Honduras. twins, giants and pygmies, the 30-foot python, the fat girl and all of our old friends of the weird oil-painted banners which flank the main entrance to the big show. But, When the circus comes to North Little Rock the obliging gentlemen in the red neckties have a feature attraction about which they will fairly rave.

It is no other, as they used to say in the dime theatres, than Carlos Traveno, a Mexican who carries the usual head ion the usual neck, and on top of this head Carlos, an acquisitive cuss, has another neck and another head. In fact. Carlos is a two-headed curiosity, a wouder freak, and both his heads have eyes, ears, a nose and mouth each, and everything. However. the circus men do not claim that Carlos has double brain power, for it must be stated he has a single-track mind.

He is just a simple peon, normal in every way except for the extra head growing out of his forehead. He is every bit as intelligent as the coffeecolored sombrero boys one sees along the border in the humble walks of life Carlos will not be seen in the twomile parade, nor will he take part in the big show. He is considered the greatest sideshow attraction of all time and he sticks close to his work.
