Ruth Blair in Comedy (1915) 🇺🇸

Miss Ruth Blair, the leading lady who recently played opposite Edwin August in Pyramid Pictures, is organizing a company to support her in legitimate comedy on the screen. The company will be a part of the Smallwood Film Corporation which has remained inactive since the United Film Service’s insolvency, but which will again resume work with the production of these comedies.

Miss Blair was seen in Canned Curiosity, a comedy which proved to her that there was a big field for real humor on the screen.

“I do not care for slap stick,” says the attractive actress, “but I do think that the dearth of clean, wholesome humor will assure the success of a comedy company, which aims at only high class production. I myself will write the scenarios.” Miss Blair is looking for a leading man, and the remainder of the company will be chosen when he has been secured.

Ruth Blair has already attained some recognition as “the Mrs. Vernon Castle of the Movies.” She is tall and slender, and dresses with a faultless taste which has caused her to be likened to the popular dancer.
