AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

MUNICIPAL PICTURES. “RUGGLES OF RED GAP.” I A large house greeted the 8000-foot ■ amusing * comedy, ‘‘Ruggles of Red Gap,’’ at the Opera House last night. | Ths joyous comedy will be screened lat the matinee to day and again at 'the evening session. No ohe is ; able to - resist the humour of j the situation, in which an English I valet finds himself when someone tells I a Western American town that he is i a colonel. Edward Horton, a new : player to the screen, is Ruggles, and ' the meek simplicity with which he en- . dows the valet Ruggles, used to long : ; service to an English lord, makes one ; i of the best characters that have been ! •drawn for the screen. Ernest Torrence j i is the incorrigible Westerner, who re--fuses to become coated with civilisai tion. Lois Wilson, the dainty leader :of the Bohemian set of the town, I Fritzi Ridgway and Louise Dresser are j the featured players of the east. Who | knows what destiny may have written ;in the Great Hand of Life? Who knows what sorrows or happiness await in the line of the heart. A fine supporting programme together with ParaI mount Premier Orchestra make a first- ! class entertainment. I “PRODIGAL DAUGHTERS.” Patrons should not miss next week’s ' super production, 4 ‘ Prodigal Daughters, ” commencing on Tuesday next. Box plans at H. I. Jones and Son’s.
