pianist, Misses Sallie McGinley, Con-
stance Richard, Chestie Krape and
Mrs. T. R. Hayes, vocalists. Mrs.

husband and her children, all of
whom will miss her helping hands
and kind and loving ministrations.

RUTH CHATTERTON
COMING TO RICHELIEU,
Those who have been clamoring
for more of Ruth Chatterton, and
they are legion, in view of her out-
standing performances for the talk-
ing screen, get a multiple serving
of perfect drama in “The Right to
Love,” new Paramount talking pic-
ture which opens at the Richelieu
Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wed-
nesday of next week. It is a drama
of life rescued by love, a story of
emotion, the eager joy of young
romance, the rending sorrow of
death to the father of her child, the
passion of mother-love-hatred-desire
and the bitterness of disillusionment.
Miss Chatterton does a dual role,
providing her with three or four
distinct characterizations, in this
story of romantic repression through
two generations, and the tragic
events born of a secret tryst. Paul
Lukas and David Manners head
the cast in support. “The Right to
Love” is the first picture to be re-
corded on New Western Electric si-
lent system of recording. Hear the
difference.

WILL HE SEE HIS
SHADOW ON MONDAY.
Candlemas, more familiarly known
as Groundhog day, falls Monday.
This will bring about the annual
discussion as to the alleged ability
of groundhogs to forecast the
weather for six weeks following
Candlemas by their behavior on that
festival day.
Superstition has it that the ground-
hog (also called woodchuck and
marmot) comes out of his long win-
ter sleep on Candlemas day and
emerges from his burrow. If he
sees his shadow he ducks back again
to resume his sleep while winter
takes a fresh grip on the land and
holds it for six weeks. If he fails
to see his shadow then he remains
above ground and an early end of
winter is at hand.
The superstition is so old and has
been so often disproved that knowl-
edge of weather science is rapidly
relegating it to the rubbish heap of
old tales. But it is still kept
alive as a subject for humorisis to
joke about.
Candlemas, otherwise known as
the Feast of the Purification, will
be celebrated in Roman Catholic
and Episcopal churches,
In Catholic churches the rite of
blessing the candles will be observ-
ed. Candles used in the various
ceremonies in the ensuing yesr will
be consecrated. This ceremony us-
ually takes place in the cathedrals.
——There will be preaching in
the Dix Run Baptist church the
coming Sunday evening, February 1,
at 7:30 o'clock. The men's chorus
of Wingate will be there and give
special music. Everybody welcome.
