MUNICIPAL PICTURES. “RUGGLES OF RED GAP.” To-night we have with us Mr. Rup gles from dear old London —funniest chappie you ever saw—in a Western comedy of a brand new kind. Funnyt Blime, it’s a bloomin’ scream —what! With “Ruggles of Bed Gap” you have a sure fire entertainment special. No one will be able to resist the humour of the situation, in which an English valet finds himsplf when someone tells a Western American town that he in a colonel. Edward Horton, a new player to tho screen, is Ruggles, and the meek simplicity with which he endows tho valet Ruggles, used to long service to an English lord, makes one of the best characters that have been drawn for the screen. Ernest Torrence is the incorrigible Westerner, who refuses to become coated with civilisation, Lois Wilson, the dainty leader of the Bohemian set. of the town, Fritzi Ridgway and Louise Dresser are the featured players of the cast. Who knows what destiny may have written in the Great Hand of Life! Who knows what sorrows or happiness await in the line of tho heart. A fine supporting programme together with Paramount Premier Orchestra make a firstclass entertainment. “PRODIGAL DAUGHTERS.” Patrons should not miss next week’s super production, “Prodigal Daughters,” commencing on Tuesday next. Box plans at H. I. Jones and Son’s.
