RICHMOND
No longer will fans be able to say,
even if they say it affectionately,
Charles Ray. who acts those country
boob characters. True, they will be
able to see him in the type of charac-
ter they have come to associate with
him still but his country boy imper-
sonations will be varied with other
characteriZatinns which they will find
equally as fascinating. In "FOrty-tive
Minutes from Broadway" Charles Ray
introduced his admirers TO a different
sort Of character than they had previ-
ously seen him in. and the attendance
results have adequately proven how
much the picture was liked.
In Peaceful Valley" he returned to
his old character the country boy, and
is being received with the glad hand
Of old-time friendship. In Nineteen
and Phyllis" he is the we'll dressed boy
of a small southern town and strikes
another new note. and it is noteworthy
that the distributors of the Charles
Ray pictures go on record as stating
that this feature will be as popular as
any feature in which the star las
ever appeared
In The Old Swimmin' Hole" the
First National attraction to be
shown on the screen at the Rich
mond theatre Sunday and Monday he
is a country boy again, and so the pro
gram of coming pictures will afford
the artist a vide field of CharacteriZa-
tion and will doubtless raise many
pros and cons, for many people like to
hear the same old joke over and over
again, though the majority of people
prefer 70 have their favOrites spring
artistic surprises and to follow their
artistic ascendenCy.
