cessful lawyer, his wife and their lit
tie son, familiarly known as Limpy,
made their home.
Because of his injured leg, the
Randalls have mollycoddled Limpy
from babyhood and in so doing,
develop a terrific feeling Of in
feriority in the boy. This causes
him consistently to run away from
any form of conflict.
1t is the effort Of Uncle Jones,
aged friend OF the family, to help
the boy regain his self-respect
which provides the basis for the
story's action.
This role is played by "Chic"
Sale. It is the comradeship of the
crippled boy and the old man, who
incidentally is the driver of the
towns obsolete horse-car, which
gives the plot much of its humorous
as well as dramatic moments.
The old man teaches Limpy to
box, takes him on secret and for
hidden fishing expeditions, let's him
drive his horse-car, encourages him
to defy his tormentors, and in the
end paves the way for his growth
into a strong, healthy and morally
sound youngster
The part of the boys father is
played by Ralph Graves, and Doro-
thy Peterson, who recently scored
as Walter Huston's wife in The
Beast Of the City," enacts the
mother role.
other featured players include
Andy Shuford, Helen Parrish, Don
aid Haines, Gus Leonard and Os-
car APPEL.
The picture was directed by Harry
Pollard, who will be remembered
for his effective handling of "The
Prodigal" and "Shipmates"

for a weeks engagement. The wide
mouthed comedian portrays a Texas
rancher who goes to New York to
get enough money to pay off the
mortgage on his lands.
Taking the last of his money, the
Texan arrives in New York pre-
pared to invest it prohtably and
quickly. Comedy scenes follow in
rapid succession after he becomes
involved with a theatrical producer.
The rancher buys a show which is
a failure, falls in love, miraculously
and unwittingly turns the show into
bowling success, gets mixed up
with lawyers and ladies, and en-
counters other obstacles.
Ginger Rogers has the leading
feminine role in THE Tenderfoot"
as the girl with whom he falls in
love. Besides Brown and Miss
Rogers, the cast also includes Lew
Cody, Mae Madison, Ralph Ince.
Vivian Oakland, Robert Greig.
Charlotte Merriam, and Spencer
Charters. Direction is by Ray En-
right.
One of the headlights of the pic
ture Is the scene in which the two
shoe-string theatrical producers try
to buy back their show after the
rancher has turned it from a failure
into a success. The Texan sets the
purchase price at an unusually high
figure.
Meanwhile, a lawyer is waiting
with an injunction to be served I'M

signed over to him. When the law

original producers hasten to pur-
chase the show by telling them it is

the production.

of July celebration at Reno, Nevada,
seeking her services as an aerial at

on the lagoon. The Riverside boat
house has hundreds of canoes for
rent and reports a big revival this
season of this aquatic pastime.
Motor boat enthusiasts are having
their inning at the lagoon, where
a number of these craft are avail

that the patron drives the boat, no
attendants riding the craft.

NEW MOVIE TEAM
NOW AT THE CIRCLE

Motion picture producers are ever
on the alert for two young screen
stars that would go we'll as a team
because OF their ability to enhance

her in trucking Ken into proposal
of marriage which, of course, keeps
him from going to South America.
Through a series of quirks, it soon
develops that Lola has the better
position and earns a bigger salary
which does not help the husbands
vanity very much. 1t serves as the
basis for the gradual breaking up
of their marriage and the various
adventures, misadventures, and in
triguing situations which make up
the balance of the plot.
The supporting cast includes Aline

Brent, who is fast coming up as one

Listeners in on the radio last night heard a thrilling account of the opening chapters in the Revolu- tionary war in this country. Noth- ing new was introduced, but even SO everything was told in scuh a hurried, confidential and patriotic way that one would imagine he was an actor in the scene and play ing q part on either side.
 From the moment that the con- ference was held at the home of Joseph Warren until Paul Revere and others had reached their des- tination at Lexington and Concord there was something doing every moment along the route. The re- sponse of the minute-men was made so quickly that they must have been waiting for the warning word to get into action.
 The concluding number included a few lines of Emerson's famous poem on the heroism of the em- -battled farmers who unfurled their nag to April's breeze on that me- m0rable morning in 1775, and fired the shot heard round the world"
