It is none other than."Nomafls of the North." by James Oliver Curwood, author of "Back to God's Country'; and "The River's End," and it comes to this house' with "per haps the most enthusiastic indorse ment any picture has ever been given by critics. As the title indicates, "No made of the North" is a story of the far north and in it is unfolded one of the most absorbing love afairs yet filmed. The struggle of a man and woman to attain matrimonial happi ness against the villainy of human plotters devoid of the; spirit of fair play and to surmount the difficulties nature places in the ws n. a wild country where civilizatioio'ftand has not smoothed out obstacles can have only one effect, and that is to hold every witness thoroughly enrapt and enthralled. An all-star cast portrays the various leading roles. Betty Blythe, Lon Chaney, Melbourne McDowell.

Tomorrow Johnny Ray will be fea tured in the last of the great Bringing Up Father comedies, "Jiggs and the Social Lions," one of the greatest and most expensive attractions ever shown at the Bijou. , ROYAL WEDNESDAY.

Hadcliffe, Baby Ivy Ward and others, which will be shown at the Royal theater opening Wednesday, is a screen version of the celebrated in ternational stare success, "Why Wom en Sin." This great melodrama which it will be remembered created such a sensation in this country and abroad, achieves an even greater magnitude in its present screen form, it has been authoritatively stated. GRAND TUESDAY. A pair of apealing brown eyes, a winsome smile framed by a pair of beautiful lips, and the loveliest of hair, together with her natural ability as an actress, won for little Marie Dunn the exalted position of leadins: lady in the new Goldwyn production, "A Double Dyed Deceiver.' starring Jack Pickford. which comes to the Grand theater commencing tomorrow. "LISTEN LESTER" AT THE ACAD EMY OP MUSIC. The music of "Listen Lester," which comes to the Academy of Music next Saturday, matinee and night, has be come nationally known. Its songs have been published and played in ho tels and restaurants from coast to coast. One phonograph company has exclusive rights to many of its melo dies, but the small boy whose verdict abetted by his whistle forecasts the success of the sons of a musical com edy, long ago proclaimed a victory for the songs of "Listen Lester." Altogether "Listen Lester," which is under the management of John Cort and the work of Harry L. Cort. George E. Stoddard and Harold Orlob, is a vi brant collection of dance, woman and song which will long be cherished in the memory of Wilmington audiences.

The first attempt of the Ku Klux Klan to es tablish a chapter at Chapel Hill this week met with a luke-warm reception and members of the organization from Durham who came over with an or ganizer said they would make no fur ther attempt to establish a chapter un less citizens of Chapel Hill took the initiative and showed more interest.

He cited intsances of the work of the klan, showed a good deal of klan literature, and brought out the robe and helmet of the order. YChfn hp asked for oDinione from the i audience, several persons spoke favor ably and seyeral sai atney saw no neea for such an organization, with the gen eral result' that the meeting showed little tendency toward definite action.

Fluctua tions in the price of cotton last week were much narrower than they have been in many weeks past, the trading months moving over a range of only 1 to6 71 points. Highest and lowest prices were scattered over the week, more or less irregularly .prevailing, as the result of the widening out of the premium on the distant months. Thus, at its best, March was 46 points over the close of the preceding week at 14.36 and July 14.38. The close prices were 22 points net higher with March 14.17 and July 14.62. October stood at 14.85. Middling spots lost 25 points in the net results, closing at 14.25'. Much liquidation attended ths wind nig up of the January position, but the market steadied later on reports of more American mills resuming work while the rise In sterling exchange and the course of events at the su preme council meeting at Paris made a favorable impression. This week the market is likely to be swayed at first by the character ol political news from abroad. Should there be no developments of impor tance, the trend of events in cotton goods markets Of this country and the world will be closely watched, for it is felt that conditions of the immedi ate future in. finished goods will have much to do with tjie state of the de mand in the spot markets of the south NEW YORK COTTON (Special to The Star) NEW YORK, Jan. 30 We are finish ing the first month of 1921.
