Katharine Ridgeway, Americas ac-
knowledged Queen Of Entertainers. is
to come to Augusta after four
years absence for one. of those great
evenings of entertainment. To make
the notable event a double delight,
Raoul Dufail, Names wonder boy
tenor, will also appear.
There is only one Katharine Ridge
way. Her equal as an entertainer
will probably never be known. Mil
lions have shared in the Joy she has
spread. She Is more than an enter
tainer. Her stories not only add joy
to life. but leave an impression that
Is never forgotten. She makes you
laugh and cry and later think. Her
humor Is infectious. You simply
can't resist 1t.
Miss Ridgeway has played more
engagements each year for sixteen
years, had more recalls and received
higher salary than any other lady
known to the American lyceum.
Great auditoriums seating thousands
are filled night after night when she
Is billed. Beautiful theatres have
hecn named for her and the tributes
that come from every part Of the
country have never been surpassed
in public life. She is one of Amer
ica's greatest women.
