This is but one of the countless human touchâ€" es in the story of Kentucky hill folks, in which Jack Rickford is the star, and which bares with intense realism the heart of a mountain lad of eightâ€" een. â€" a When he is undecided as to whethâ€" er he shall go at once and ask his sweetheart‘s father for the girl‘s hand iz, marriage, Buddy Apperson, !ime léif&g character in "Bill Apperâ€" on‘s Soy," which will be seen at the Oakwood Theatre, starting Thursday, leaves the question up to his marksâ€" manship as a stone thrower. "If I hit that tree twice out of three times, TI‘ll go ask him," Buddy decides. DECIDES LOVE PROBLEM BY HIS MARKSMANSHIP MOVIE PROGRAMS FOR THIS WEEK WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1919 Miss Annie and .
