SENSATIONAL KENTUCKY
RACE HORSE STORY
A sen national Kentucky
race horse story is vividly told
in “Checkers” *the big special
attraction at the Royal next
week- “Checkers” had one of
the longest runs in one theatre
in New York than any other at
traction. William Fox put
this big play on the screen and
was successful in making one
of the biggest special attrac
tions and one of the biggest
special feature photoplays ever
screened.
This is a Kentucky race
horse story, with a host of
good comedy all through it and
just as sensational as can be
made in the movies. As high
as $1.50 admission was charg
ed to see “Checkers” in the
leading theatres in the east.
The prices that will be charg
ed at the Royal will be 15 and
30 cents. This attraction was
such a success and a drawing
card in Little Rock that it was
held for a full weeks run, and
people were turned away at
every performance.
It will be at the Royal Wed
nesday afternoon and night,
August 18.
