HENODEE TROUPE
PLEASE AUDIENCE
Japanese Acrobats Make Hit
With Blue Ridge Fans
Geiger Good.

The Henodce troupe, Japanese
ncrobats, made n big hit with the
two large audiences that attended
the Blue Ridge Theater last even
ing. This famous troupe Of ia
panese artists who recently came
TO this country from their home
land Is very clever, an dthey soon
Won their way into the hearts of
the Blue Ridge patrons. The
troupe is composed of three men
and a charming young woman.
Patrons OF the play house last
night doubted II the woman was
a Japanese on account OF her
rare beauty. When seen OF the
stage or engaged In conversation
It is easy to learn that she Is a
native of far on Japan, however.
John Geigcr, with his talking
violin, was the second headlincr
on the bill last night. GeIger
halls from Sunny Italy, where
perhaps n larger number OF
musical artists than any other
country first see the light OF day.
Geiger is very clever with his vio-
lin, playing the classical as we'll
as ragtime music In a masterful
manner. He pIeases the largest
number Of his hearers, however,
with his trick playing and In this
role he has few equals.
The real comedy Of the bill la, I
might was furnished by King and
Irwin in their blackface sketch
Coon Town Divorcons." They are
Exceptionally clever comedians
and keep the audience In an up.
roaT Of laughter all the time, they
were on the stage. They inject q
number of clever lines Into their
act and as whole II is one of the
best blackface acts seen at the
theatre this season.
The Perrettes. snappy aerialists
pleased their audience with some
thing new In the aerial line
Three Live Ghosts" the Para
mount picture being shown In
connection with the vaudeville, is
an exceptional good comedy. The
picture is built around three SOL
drIers Of the late war who were
reported missing In action and
later returned to their homes. The
experiences Of the three soldiers
are funny and provide many good
laughs for the fans who admire
the silent art.
