The Blue Ridge

Y We have had several folk tell
us that theyahaye seen in; Pitts
burghi Washington and New
York the very same attractions
that Keith vaudeville is offering
in our own little theater-the
Blue Ridge, and that even though
not quite as effective perhaps be-
cause Of lack Of the. facilities that
larger theaters, afford they are
presented in exactly the same
manner.
All this should mean some
thing to Fairmont folks who are
inclined to underate the enter
tainment that is provided from
time TO time at the Blue Ridge,
at prices that would be far more
in a city house because of the
added expense Of conducting 1t.
The programs are planned with
a view to giving variety so that
everyone who attends will find
something to their liking.
!. The program today has much
to commend It to those who pre-
fer % lighter form Of entertain
ment but the picture brings in
a more serious view in Find the
Woman" a story Of mystery In
which a search. for. the murderer
OF a man Is athe basis for most
Of the action.
1t isn't morbid in the sense
that most tales Of this type are,
but tits a picture that only older
folks could understand.
y The Princess h
Forget Me Not" showing at
the Princess today, is the sort of
story that tugs at the heart
strings-if you know Just what
that means-intensely human In
It's development and particularly
strong in its sympathetic appeal.
1t tells the story Of two home
