Dpie Head's Story of North Carolina Mountain Life, peniifc at the Royal Monday jirising circumstances, proves v him technically innocent. - Then comes the big surprise finish and feverything ends happily for all concerned. The fact that this follows George Melford's great success, "Behold My "Wife," and furthermore that, its strong tar, Mabel Julienne Scott, together with Monte Blue, who created such, a utrong, sympathetic role in "Something to Think About" are the featured ' ptarp, should make this one of the big fecst successes of the season.

VICTORIA f atrons of the Victoria have some thing exceptionally interesting to look forward to during tne coming week, with the announcement that the- best known and most popular tabloid man ager in the south, Charlie Morton, is to appear all week with his justly famous Kentucky Belles Mus:cai Comedy com pany. -Morion has been to 'Wilmington in numerable times, but each time brings something new and peppery to add tone, to his show. He has never put out a "flivver" and this season he has the best show yet, headed by five ex ceptional vaudeville teams, including Johnny Keenan, "that funny little man"; Eddie Trout, eccentric dancer; the Gibson sisters, a novelty piano act that always makes a big hit: Pinvmie Loster, novelty entertainer and Pepper and Stoddard, club Jugglers.

Tuesday the last release of the seven Fatty Arbuckle comedies will be shown. "The Village Scandal" is the title and the best one has been left for the last, to close this bis series. Wednesday the second chapter of "William Duncan's whirlwind serial, "Fighting Fate," is expected to ellipse even the high mark-set by Eddie Polo.

It is "Downt to Earth" and is the most expensive picture ever made with Fairbanks as the star. The supporting cast includes Bull Montana, famous fightings man. known locally, also fascinating Eileen Percy and Herbert Standing. ROYAL On next Wednesday and Thursday the Royal takes great pleasure in pre senting a photoplay that marks some thing new and exceptional for Royal patrons, in the coming of Lionel Bar rymore in 'his second reat First Na tional production, "The Devil's Gar den." The exceptional part comes from the fact that this was one of six photoplays released during the last six months, which the National board of review of motion pictures pronounced an "exceptional pnotoplay." Each month the board issues a! bulletin giv ing the one exceptional photoplay of the month and for the iast month, the production which was lauded as beat ing anything, else, judging from every standpoint, was 'The Devil's Garden." It is a Whitman Bennett production, the same as his first production six weeks ago at the RoyaL and is one of the strongest dramatic documents ever screened, a production that called for just such a lead as America's favorite dramatic dynamo, Lionel Barrymore. Patrons will do well to make a note of this. GRAND 1 The tragedy of love when it is be stowed upon an unworthy object is shown tellingly in "The Cost," the Paramount Artcraft picture featuring Violet Heming which will be on view at the Grand for Tuesday one day only.
