'CHARL|E'S AUNT FULL OF LAUGHS
 SHOWS TONIGHT
Class Com e dy, Starring Charles Ruggles, Is
 at Capitol

"Charley's Aunt" a laugh riot, featuring Charles Ruggles, shows tonight at the Capitol theatre.
 This comedy of life at Oxford University offers Ruggles limitless opportunity for fun making. The result is a laugh marathon. No- body could possibly sit through this performance without enjoying a series of hearty laughs. Ruggles is the central figure every time.
 England is the locale and the heroes are couple of Oxford stu dents, Jack Chesney and Charley Wykeham, who invent ways and means to win the two girls of their choice. In order to do this, they have to outwit old man Spettigue, the girls guardian.

 When 'tC arley's Aunt" the wealthy Brazilian widow, Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, cables that she is about to arrive for a visit, the boys breathe more easily and in vite the girls to luncheon to meet her.
 Donna Lucia fails to arrive on scheduled time and "Babbs," a fel- low college student, is pressed into service to impersonate the chaper- on. The absurd mixup that fol- lows, which is further involved by the arrival of the real Donna Lucia, supplies the rest of the action for this irresistible farce.
 Rugglcs Plays "Babbs"
 Ruggles plays "Balbbs," and his antics in the disguise of Donna Lucia are the basis of most of the fun. The supporting cast includes Rodney McLennon and Hugh Will Hams who play Charlie WykehaIn and Jack Chesney respectively. Dor is Lloyd is the read Donna Lu- cia. Others in the cast are June Collyer, Flora Sheffield, Phillips Smalley, Flora Le Breton and Hal liwell Hobbs. Al Christie directed.
