Plenty Of Comedy and Dane
ing Also on Program Open
ing, at Theater Today,

Singing, dancing and comedy
were the features Of the four acts
Of vaudeville on the bill at the Blue
Ridge for the first half Of the
week. A large matinee crowd was
we'll pleased with +he show this
afternoon. One OF rae features was
the act of the Leah Lewis Co. 1t
is a singing and dancing act, with
some clever dialogue. The mem.
bers Of the company are from
Clarksbutg, and Miss Lewis is a
native Of that city. This act has
been on the road one season and
has been n big success.
The Demo sisters with Tom Thi.
bault and Art Cody made big hit
with their singing and dancing act
and offered twelve minutes Of real
entertainment.
Sale and Robes score good in
comedy, with a smattering Of song
that Is real clever. The act went
over good this afternoon and Is
sure to please during the remain.
der Of the time that the show is in
this city.
Cornell and Leona are good at
the dancing business, and Zippy.
who happens to be a dog, is quite
good at taking OF his masters, so
that the trio affords some real
fun.
Dangerous Lies" a Paramount
picture, is the screen number, and
Is one OF the best Paramount pic
lures thus far made in England
with an English cast OF players. Il
is a Paul Powell production in
which David Powell is featured,
and its dramatic qualities and
strong appeal created a profound
impression.
The story deals with the beauti.
full daughter OF an English rector
in small town who is forced by
circumstances to marry man she
detests and who has brought hor
father to ruin In a swindling min.
ing scheme. When he fees to es.

death in South America, she mar.
ries Sir Henry Bond. Subsequent
ly her first husband reappears and
trouble follows. The ending, how.
ever, is quite happy. The theme
shows the danger Of lying when
the truth should be told.

various roles is excellent. David
