Mi 1 " 1 ; -1 1 H W OTP IF ' 1 ft P 9 r : THEATRICAL There comes a time in the life of every girl when she pictures herself a lovely lady and the object of some dash ing, bold knight's adoration. She shiv ers with apprehension at the thought of the burly villain into whose clutches ehe falls, and then glows with maiden ly pride as she pictures her lover rush ing to her rescue. So it is with every imaginative boy. From playing burglar, cowboy and soldier he graduates to the warrior bold of the days of old and prances forth in his imaginary blazing armor to do battle with dragons and roving knights, for the hand of a lady lair. "Silks and Satins," the delightfully charming romance in which little Mar guerite Clark is being starred by the . Famous Players Film Company on the Paramount Programme, is a rejection of every youthful dream that was ever dreamed. For in this thrilling breath from another day, which is the feature t the Grand tomorrow, dainty little Miss Clark is transported to the ro mantic days of the past through the medium of an old diary which she finds on the eve of her intended wed ding to Felix Breton. Btllie Burke Royal Monday. Billie Burke is here at last and "Peg gy" is announced for Monday's show ing at the Royal theatre. "Peggy" is the greatest Triangle production ever filmed, and requests have been coming In for it for two months. However, so great has been the demand for this first screen production and appearance of America's most beautiful and well known star that it has been playing constantly in the big cities. "Peggy" is Billie Burke and Billie Burke is "Peggy." It's contrasts Are strong, and "Peggy" gives us plenty of of circus stars, the "Adventures of Peg O' The Ring," a story has been, woven, which, while' retaining' the : wonderful kaleidoscopic background of the cirr cus, yet keeps the spectator on' edge with suspense.1 The lure of the circus top permeates every scene of "Peg O. The Ring." It is the serial, wonderful! he serial su perb, and starring in .tlfis mammoth cir cus serial are two. of fllmdom'a great est stars, the ones, who first made se rial photoplays popular', Grace. Cunard and Francis .Ford, M,iss' Cunard enact ing the bewitching and .fascinating title role, ostensibly the daughter of Flip, an old time circus clown. - Absolute dating that arrests and fas cinates the eye of the beholder, replete CANTALOUPE SEASON ; HOW AT ITS HEIGHT w eillie Burke In Overalls In the New Triangle-Fine Arte Play "Peggy." At ' the Royal Tomorrow. variety, is always pert, attractive, pret ty and lively Billie Burke. "Peggy" was modeled especially as a role for the vivacious star. "What do I care for conventionality" is what Peggy might say if the celluloid could convey her thoughts, as scene after scene of the most unconventional and startling nature unfold on the screen. Peggy's own love affair carried on with the minister -of the town who loves Jier first and last, is one example of the unconventionality of the entire sev en reels. He has to be a little more broad-minded "before winning Peggy, and his transformation adds more de lightful humor to the talev "Peggy" vfrll please you; you will want to see "Peggy" a. second . time. "Pfg y The Ring" Coming! The circus is coming! "What a thrill is contained in these words! But this is a circus entirely different from any you have ever .seen a film circus. In the midst of the most glittering galaxy with sensational awe-inspiring aerial flights are among the thrills in "Peg O' The Ring Ring." Eddie Polo, one of the world's greatest circus performers, has a, leading role in .this superb film masterpiece. Fifteen weeks of the greatest show on earth is promised those who follow "Peg O' The Ring" at the Bijou begin ning next Tuesday! Mary Fuller Bijou Monday Did you see Mary Fuller in "A Hunt ress of Men" at the Royal last Friday? One of the very finest pictures ever yet presented at the Royal, wasn't it? Well, this same beautiful and talented star is coming to the Bijou tomorrow, in a great two-reel Universal production, "Behind the Veil," a Victor drama in two reels, with some of the most mag nificent settings ever seen in a photo play production of any length.

(Special Star Correspondence). Laurinburg, N. C, July 22. The can taloupe season is now at its height in Laurinburg and Scotland county. Mon day was a record-breaker so far as volume of shipments is concerned. Ac curate figures are not-obtainable at this time, but conservative estimates place the number of refrigerator cars loaded during ' the day and .up to 12 o'clock Monday night at 150 or . more! At $300 per car, a safe average, this represents a total gross income of $45, 000 for one day. The real damage done by the rains of last week is not known. So far as actual loss in damaged fruit is con cerned, it is trifling. But just what losses have been sustained in the way. of lower prices cannot be readily as certained. There was a radical de cline in the markets early this week, which is attributable perhaps to the excessive rains ' of last week. Prices last week ranged around one dollar per standard crate, or $400 and more per car. Prices since Monday have ranged around 75 cents per crate. It is conservatively estimated that shipments of cantaloupes last year from Luarinburg and Scotland counties went considerably over 1,000 cars, at an average gross price of approximate ly $250 per car. bringing in a total revenue of about $250,000. This year it is expected that the volume of ship ments will be considerably greater, and prices are much better up to this date. Calculating upon a basis of present prices and crop prospects, a local buy er estimates that the total revenue this year for cantaloupes in Scotland coun ty will exceed that of last year by as much as $100,000. This means that something like $350,000 to $400,000 will come into the county during the sea son. ;The Laurinburg & Southern Railway reports 200 refrigerator cars placed un to .Wednesday, July 19. The Seaboard Air Line reports 58 cars placed at Laur inburg and Old Hundred, with .no fig-' ures available at present from Laurel Hill, Elmore and Gibson. But ship ments at these lasf points are known to be heavy and would swell the to tal of cars shipped considerably. Ex press shipments go forward on every train and one or two solid cars of ex press shipments go away every day. Off to the Philippines. Lieutenant A. L. James, of the Unit ed States Army, after spending some time here with his father. President A. L. James, of the First National Bank, left Wednesday, July 20, for San Fran cisco, where he will sail for the Philip pine Islands. Lieutenant James will be stationed in the Philippines for the next two years. The Sunday school of the First Bap tist church is planning for a picnic at Riverton on the Lumber river one day of the first week in August. AROUND ABOUT ANTIDCH Laying-By .

Since our lastletter to The Star we have obeyed the impulse to "go. .back . home and we now write .from Antioch,. which is a residence suburb of Red Springs locat ed ' just ' across the line in the new county of Hoke. .'Twas here we -spent our younger and more pleasant days living on .the farm,, where, out most in timate companions were the birds' and the bees.' While Red J Springs is one of the most pleasant towns on the map. with, a citizenship excelled . by none, whose healthful waters are a panacea for many ills, yet with all its natural advantages, we are still partial to the Scotch town of Antioch. 'Twas here the disciples were : first called Christians. In close proximity to Antioch we find Bethel. 'Twas here the Lord appeared to Jacob. Nearby is Galatia, but . .the . Galatians are no longer bewitched. Antioch is a rural viUcge and derives its name from the. old Presbyter ran ' church which for more than a century has been a light house to the pilgrime m this, section. Another glory of Antioch is her school. Located on a beautiful hill in a large oak grove the observer will notice a beautiful two-story brick 1 building designed by Mr. H. E. Bonitz, of Wilmington. Here boys and girls are prepared for college and for the active duties of life. The high schooT here will re-open the first Monday in September. Mr. Malcolm McBryde.; of Blue Springs, who during his entire four yearsisat Davidson College made second honors, will be the new sup erintendent. The personnel of. the faculty with this exception will be the same as yast lead. Indications point to this being the most successful year in the history of the school.. Rev. V. R. Gaston, who for more than six years has been the popular pastor of Antioch church, has tendered his resignation here, effective September 1, and will move to Aberdeen, which will be his. future home. Antioch is one of the most prominent country , churches in the North Carolina Synod.
