“RUGGLES OF RED GAP”
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

You might call “Ruggles of Red
Gap" an international romance.
At any rate it is a bubbling, scin-
tillating, romantic picture show-
ing the adventures of a guiléless
English valet cast adrift in the
crudest part of the United States

vow-punching Arizona,

In the role of ‘‘Ruggles,"’ Taylor
Holmes has a delightful oppor-
tunity to get the most out of his
rane vein of humor. 4

For, when a young, good-look-
ing Englishman, never further

‘st than London, is suddenly set
in a country the very name of
which has suggested to him wild
Indians, Boston Tea Party rioting
and cow-boys herding cattle up
and down Broadway—then some-
thing funny is sure to happen. It
will be shown tonight at the Em-
press. :

 

 

The Football Association will
