“RUGGLES OF RED GAP”
IS GREAT COMEDY
James Cruze’s Paramount pro
duction of “Ruggles of Red Gap,”
featuring Howard Horton, Ernest
Torrence and Lois Wilscn, is the at
traction at the Rylander Theatre
today and Tuesday. The story is
Harry Leon Wilson’s greatest, and
the picture has only recently i.n
ished a week’s engagement at the
Howard Theatre, Atlanta.
One might be inclined to believe
that this picture would suffer by
comparison with Mr. Cruze’s “The
Covered Wagon.” ’,But although- an
entirely different story, “Ruggles
of Red Gap” is said to live up to
the high standard.
“Ruggles of Red Gap” opens in
the early days -of Red Gap, a typi
cal cow-town of the Pacific North
west. With the expansion of the
commercial resources of the town
comes wealth to the older inhabi
tants, among them the Flouds.
Egbert is considered by the rest
of the family as socially incompet
ent, and it is decided that it will be
for the best to obtain a valet for
him to see to it that he watchese
his p’s and q’s and to keep Egbert
continauuly posted as to his social
engagements. ™
So it is that Ruggles, one-timq
perfect valet of the Honourable
George Basingwell of England, en
ters upon his new duties with the
Flouds—but not as valet, for Cou
sin Egbert introduces him to some
friends as ‘Colonel.” In order that
they may not be made the laughing

HOUND PUP GETS
MEDAL FOR BRAVERY
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nd*. 19.
(By Associated Press) — A s hound
pup has been awarded a medal for
bravery. The dog, alone and un
protected, recently heid a moun
tain lion at bay in a Colorado riv
er canyon until a party of hunters
'appeared. Patterson, not
ed big game hunter of the South
west, killed the Jion with his re
volver.
The lion had been driven »to a
flat rock by the pack of hounds,
but when it turned, snarling, all the
except the one young dog
drew back into terror. The lone pup
scrambled up on the rocks and
growled at the lion, bluffing the
menocing beast into worried inac
tion. Tl;e hunters arranged to at
tach a medal to the hound’s collar.
