throp hotel.
In honor OF Louie Grenier and

Der of cabaret patrons from Ia
coma. Fort Lewis, the valley and

Is the "Ruggles" OF the picture.
After he is lost by his titled master
n a poker game he is buffeted BY
a series of startling new adven-
lures.
He goes on a drunken spree
with his new master. He is
whisked 10 America; he becomes
an overnight sensation: he finds
o lady who will love him, and he
falls in love with America.
Surrounded by an all-star cast
which includes Charlie Ruggles,

dramatic capital out of this un-
usual screen role. The brightest
bit OF promised comedy in the pic

Laughton takes the responsibility
for his boss mtoxication. Its
most dramatic moment centers
about Laughton's recital of Lin
