It tells a little story of chorus girl
n a company which gives its trial per
wolves student whose ideals are
scholarly. In dare classmates have
the chorus lady. go to the room Of the
student. Well; that is 3 harmless e. prank:
Tor a scholarship that he follows the
show to New York. with the ending
one that can be only expected from such
an encounter with cupid's wiles.
Capitol-"Cupid-the Cowpuncher" Is
'he best picture Will Rogers has made.
It Is such a truly human characteri-
zatlon that one is apt to forget the
shadowy figures on the silversheet and

Here is a story Of the West In which
there Is no shooting, which shows that at

Of firearms in a production Is not neces-
sary when the locale is the open, ranch

Rogers plays admirably a match

he proceeds to match his wits against
other SWANS for the affections of his

Regent-"A Full House" was de-
lightful thing in Its spoken form. In
the musical comedy version, THE Velvet
Lady" there was little more action
but with it's present and no doubt flnai

burn Is not the type of comedian for thu
role he has been given to play.
Fred Jackson wrote good piece and
Alice Eyton adapted It for James Cruces
direction but the latter Is perhaps best
fitted for other things than farcica
stories. Paramount's casting brought
forth Lois Wilson as the leading lady
while Lottie williams has the role
played by the adorable May Vokes as
the slavey. Wall Covington gives q
fairly good account OF the role OF the
