: t The part taken by Miss Theda
VBara in "The Darling of Paris" is one
vf.jftf. the most interesting characters
r,A 4he has ever been called upon to in--K
terpret since becoming identified with
the silent drama. It is an unusual
one, dominating the story from be-.
- ginning to end. There are hut few
f " moments when she is not in the pic-
ture, which adds all the more impor
V stance to tho production in general.
The play was suggested from Vic
tor Hugo's novel, "The Hunchback'
of Notre Dame," and the part of Es
znaralda, which Miss Bara portrays
''" throws a new light on the wondertul
V screen ability of the peerless actress.
"-' The scenes of "The Darling of
Paris" are all located in Paris. A
y- Bypsy girl with ber foster-mother ar
rives in the French capital, where
; her beauty attracts the attention of
the Apacnes, and she becomes a
member of their band.. Her beauty
attracts Claude Frallo (Walter Lawj,
a scientist of note. She repulses him,
. - as she has already fallen in love with
- Captain Phoebus (Herbert Heyes).
During a visit of the gypsy girl in
the apartment of the handsome cap
tain, Frallo kills the captain and
makes his escape. Upon the arrival
!- of the gendarmes, Esmeralda is
placed under arrest, charged with the
murder.
Esmeralda is subjected to torture
' to make her confess, but is defiant,
' ' knowing that she is innocent. The
bell-ringer of the Cathedral, Quasi
modo (Glenn White), who secretly
- worships"the gypsy girl, becomes her
- protector. When Frallo visits tnj
prisoner the bell-ringer interferes.
There is a struggle and the former is
hurled from a parapet and killed.
Again the girl appears before the trib
unal. But on the rack she admits the
murder of the captain. Just as Es
meralda is to be guillotined the bell
ringer gives the true version of the
murder, implicating Frallo, whom he
had killed.
Quasimodo, the plucky bell-ringer,
who was' Esmaralda's protector, and
her liberator, becomes her husband.
This magnificent seven-reel super-
- production comes to the Victoria for
two days, beginning tomorrow.

ROYAL HAS A BIG SHOW.
Cliff Watson's Ragtime Review, pre
sented for the first time at the Royal
yesterday, went over bigger than any
show that has been seen here since
Guy Johnson's big show made such a
distinct hit. It's a show that is en
tirely out of the ordinary class of tab
loid shows, and their, performance
throughout was marked with demon
strations of talent that are away
above the average.
And, too, while the management
booked this as a show of ten people,
Mn Watson has added two additional
chorus girls, making it a magnificent
real musical comedy company, with a
bright and dazzling chorus of seven
pretty girls, which fill the Royal stage
and make a fine appearance.
The various big specialty number?
it would be hard to single out any
particular ones for mention. Enough
to say -that , the Kentucky Harmony
Pour in harmony singing received
four encores at the afternoon per
formance, and were forced to respond
to five distinct curtain calls at the
r . , first evening show. It's a hit, sure
' : enough. Miss Stella Stamper, "The
- Girl From Kentucky," in several sing
ing ,.nnmbers. and leading; the. chorus j
in many nifty specialties, was an-

I. A. Turnage Took Tanlac
One Year Ago and Has
"Not Suffered Since.
"Since just a year ago, yfhen Ptopk
the Tanlac treatment, I haye not sur
fered a particle from any of the vari
ous ailments and symtoms from wItcH
I had suffered for seven or eight years
before- I took Tanlac," reads part of
the endorsement of J. A. Turnage, re
ceived several days ago by E. H.
Drum State Tanlac Distributor.
"And during the past twelve months
I have seen some marvelous results
that Tanlac worked among my neigh
bors. I heartily recommend Tanlac be
cause it has merit and does all thpt is
claimed for it. Why,, a better family
medicine can not be had. I say this be-
I cause Tanlac has not only helped me,
but also my wife and child, as well as
my neighbors.
"Before I got hold of Tanlac I suf
fered for years from indigestion, slug
gishness and dull headaches. Each
spring, except this one, I suffered acute
attacks of indigestion. But from the
time Tanlac helped me until this day
twelve months later there has been
no return of those symptoms.
"My address is 739 Branch street,
Rocky Mount, here I have lived and
have been engaged with the A. C. L. R.
R. Co., for the past eleven years, and I
will gladly answer any questions sub
mitted to me about Tanlac."
Genuine Tanlac, the ideal spring
tonic blood and system purifier and
invigorant is sold in Wilmington by
the Bellamy Drug Store. Each town
has its Tanlac dealer. Advt.

the marvelous exposure work of this
production being a masterpiece of
film craft.
"Sister Against Sister" is a tragic
story of life, a vivid picture of soul
killing poverty, and a strong and
vivid plea for social justice, a clash
of the Upper and the Under World,
a powerful picture story done in the
incomparable William Fox way.
Two girls born equal, parted by
parents' divorce. One rises a noble
woman one falls into the slums. A,
cross section of life is thus shown
in this vivid and thrilling six reel
dramatic gem. Co-starring with the
beautiful Virginia Pearson is the well

tiful Watahwaso Bright Star,") Princess of the Penobscot tribe and flower of one of the last families of
unmixed Indian blood. Longfellow's artful storv of "Minnehaha," with its' wondrous colorings and its tale
of love and sorrow, revealed much of the beauty of the aboriginal life and character, but it has remained for
this modern singer of the songs of her fathers to bring their message to this later generation.
Her Indian chieftain father, true to racial traditions, established and kept his family intact at their tribal Is
land home -it. Oldtown, near the coast of Maine. Far from resisting those influences "which he knew would at
tract his people away from the old life, he welcomed them, he himself laboring incessantly for that education and
equipment which later brought him wide prominence and membership in the legislature of the Pine Tree: State.
Then, orie.by one, came pale faced "Hiawathas" and carried off Watahwaso's sisters, and their children and their
children's children, .Americans all, will gather to retell the fast fading stories of 'their fathers.
In later years invading hunters sought out the Penobscot tribesmen to guide them through the Northern wilds
and paddle their canoes through the treacherous waters while the women remaining In the tepees wove the gor
geous baskets and beaded the buckskin garments. . Watahwaso's father was "now a recognized authority in Indian
history and folk lore and a speaker of distinct charm and more and more wa? called to speak in public. Often ac
companying him was his little princess, charming and demure, who with remarkable skill sang the tribal songs and
chants and gracefully danced the ceremonial Indian dances. Up to this time her only tutors had been Sisters of
Mercy an their Indian school.
