IF comedy is akin to tragedy, and the
best comedy is that which is mingled
with pathos. then Charlie Murray, in
The Gorilla" has all the laughs COM

mystery comedy that ran its success

appears upon the screen, with a new

Is one.
Nor must one forget the gorilla him

and his pathos and comedy come In.
Its comedy to see him playing around
cliffs, housetops, cellars. etc. etc, with

bines elements Of fun and chills tina:
made 1t unusually popular. But the
situations in the motion picture have
been extended and exaggerated into a
combination OF the weirdest, spookies,
kind OF mystery and with comedy not
even imaginable.
Murray and Fred Kelsey have the
roles of two dumb detectives. Mulligar
and Garrity. whose greatest problem Is
to keep together. The gorilla Is a
melodrama In himself and menace
enough for any picture.

Ruth's Leap Year Speech.

I learned some things that might be
Of use to some girls in making up their
leap year programs. Travel Is SO
broadening!
i've discovered that girls in one Sec
ton develop a certain kind Of technique
in their offensives and the gentlemen
around there become accustomed 10 II
and adapt their defense 70 Just tnat

has tust an average cnance against
California gentlemen. they are Qulte
AZ expert at side-stepping as the girls
are at leaping.
"But when a California girl comes
East, or an Eastern girl goes west. sne
finds the gentlemen are not used 10 neE
novel methods, and really they appear
quite helpless. Travel not only makes
e girl more resourceful. but 1t intro
duces her to more gentlemen who are
not prepared for her type.
If there is any girl who thinks she
should make an extra effort on leap
year, the only advice I can give Is tc
look more carefully before she leaps
Statistics show that 1t is just as easy
to leap into a Rolls Royce as into o
flivver. It takes no more effort to fall
madly in love with reckless wealth than
with meritorious poverty. And consider
the difference after the leap Is made.
Leap year has opened up fun O.
prosperity and promise for me. 1t
ought to be a good year for all other
serious-n,inded girls. There seems &c
be no shortage Of men. So wish us
all a happy leap year"

the institution of leap year Is on the
way. BY 1892 or 1895 at the latest. 1t
will be as obsolete as granny's bustle.
1T is possible. though, that leap year
may evolve into sort OF opportunity
for gentlemen instead Of for girls. Per-
hapS one year in four may come to oe
set aside as a period when gentlemen
will be exempt. a closed season, wnen
they may not be leaped at. -.
Certainly every year now II Is all
right for a girl to leap at the gentle
man of her choice. 1t might be only
fsi.. therefore. to allow the gentlemen
