HENRY VIII” -"

Turnes Butler

Shades of Henry VIII

The most distinguished contem-... porary interpreter of that much married monarch, Charles Laugh- ton, has shed his regal airs to be- come a typical English butler in "Euggies of Red Gap."

It is quite a transition from the role of bluff King Henry to the servile Ruggles-but Laughton has taken it in stride. He's equally at home in both parts, which pro- ves, if proof is needed, the artis- try of this versatile actor.

"Ruggles of Red Gap" will mark Laughton's first comedy role in Hollywood pictures, with the ex- ception of that brief bit in the episodic picture, "If I had A Mil- ilon," which aroused critical plau- dita. Hitherto the English actor has been seen in sinister or melo- dramatic parts, such as ""The Bar- rètts of Wimpole Street," and "The Sign of the Cross.”

Laughton, one gathers is de- Ughted to have this opportunity to turn comedian. The mild Rug gles, who discovers the meaning of American democracy in a West- ern frontier town, is a delightful- characterization and one that will add to his great popularity.

Other members of the cast in- clude. Zazu Pitts, Mary, Boland, Charlie Ruggles, Roland Young, Lelia Hyams, Maude Eburne and Lucien Littlefield. Leo McCarey is the director.

"Euggies of Red Gap, created by Harry Leon Wilson, has been a favourite Action character for over two decades. The novel pokes fun at the pretentious manners of the then-uncouth West as well as, the stuffy and hidebound con ventions of America's English cousins

Mr. Dick sucked his thumb and looked at David vacantly, "I should he had a sudden in- spiration, I should with him." Aunt Betsy exclaimed in triumph and David was soon in the wooden tub, where Mr. Dick entertained him with a magnif- cerit display of soap-bubbles.

"May I stay here with you. Aunt David asked shyly.

"Mercy on us!" Aunt Betsy seemed confused, "To bed with you now,”.

"David David," Aunt Betsy called, hurrying towards them one day. She came up quite out of breath. "David, your step- father's coming to-day.”

A few hours later, the maid en- tered the parlour and announced the callers.

Jane Murdstone stepped for- ward and declared David to be the world: the worst boy in Murdstone's face darkened as he warned Miss Trotwood he would take David back and deal with him as he saw ft.

Aunt Betsy now, asked David what he had to say about it. He 'made a pathetic little plea, to stay.

"And you, Mr. Dick? What do you think I should do with this child?"

"Do?" Mr. Dick "suddenly brightened "Rave him measur- ed for a sult of clothes directly."
