ALONG CAME RUTH
NEW VIOLA DANA
PICTURE IS HERE
METRO STAR SAID TO HAVE BIG
COMEDY ROLE IN RURAL
STORY
Beautiful, broke, but brave—that’s
the position the heroine of a picture
is sure to find most appealing to her
audiences—and that’s exactly the way
Viola Dana starts off in her latest
Metro picture, “Along Came Ruth,”
which opens at the Liberty Theatre
tonight.
Miss Dana needs only a clever story
punctuated with amusing situations
and she’s off—to the delight of every
one who sees her. “Alorg Came Ruth”
is just that kind of a story, and the
tiny Metro star proves she’s as attrac
tive when she’s pathetic as when she’s
funny, and vice versa. Vivacious Vi
Dana has one of her best roles in that
of the girl who woke up the sleepiest
town in Maine and her engaging- per
sonality makes it easy to understand
why the whole town worshipped her.
Tully Marshall who made such tre
mendous hits in “The Covered Wagon”
and the “Hunchback of Notre Dame,”
plays the part of the proprietor of a
furniture emporium, who grows to hate
Ruth the more she does for him. It
is said to be the most hilarious role
of his career.
Walter Hiers, who was starred in
“Mr. Billings Spends his Dime,” ap
pears in “Along Came Ruth,” as a rur
al politician.
The story centers around Ruth Am
brose, a pretty girl who has failed as
a commercial artist, but is bound to
succeed at something. Broke, but
with a defiant tilt to her chin, she ar
rives in Action, Me., and hires out for
her board to the owner of a down-at
the-heel furniture store for a week.
From that moment on. Action begins
to liven up and live up to its name,
fairly singing with activities. She
converts the dusty old store into a
modern thriving establishment. She
pays off her employer’s debts by the
successful sale she inaugurates.
Every unmarried man in tow'n falls
in love with her, but she picks out the

THE WEEKLY BULL
We know now why some Seward
people carry a grouch. There are no
inkwells at the postoffice where
they could fill their fountain pen at
will.
When you going outside?
When the tide goees out.
Why wait until then?
Then I’ll walk out!
A few storm clouds gathering in
the West last week was the signal for
the local light plant to go on the
blink. Efryboty happy!
I have missed too many boats any
way so one more or less makes no dif
ference,” shouted Milton Rice, last
Saturday night as he piled out of the
dance hall, shortly after midnight
rushing madly down to the dock just
in time to see the steamer Alaska’s
lights disappear around the point.
All these Arctic explorers are dis
covering pre-historic villages, relics
from the Viking days, etc. About time
for one of the hardy adventurers to
discover a fur mine.
By the way, speaking of the fur
industry, one fair damsel this sum
mer queries of a sourdough how many
times they skin a fox a season.
Eggs take a jump; read a head
line recently. Will some kind reader
write the editor of the Bull and tell
us for cats sake, whut kind of a egg
was that? Sure! we’ll publish the an
swers.
The proprietors of the Northern
claim though their place of business
is on the corner they are on the
square. The same applies to the lo
cal roundhouse fellows.
The Seward Athletic club is giving
a dance this month. They sure are
strong for exercise.
A Restful Monaker.
A number of enquiries were receiv
ed last week by the office of the Gate
way relative to thepeculiar sounding
name which was puublished in the
paper the^ore part of the week, in
the outgoing passenger list of the
Alaska. B. Seated was the name and
as far as we know, it was his right
name, though it was rather retiring.
At last Saturday night’s dance at
Odd Fellows hall, a full dress suit
tie became unfastened flying across
the floor and smacking a pretty lady
in the eye.
Valade, over at B. & H.’s store, says
that men never think of buying pajaa
mas until they are ready to retire and
then the stores are closed!
This One from Kanatak.
How did you find the meat?
Why, I happened to move a spud,
and THERE It was!
Prof. McEwan—How would you
make soft water hard?
Frances Leslie—Freeze it.
A prisoner in the Seward jail is
writing a mushy love story for the
movie, to be run as a cereal.
The Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes. A name to conjure with—
Cigars, Coons or Stills?
Getting back to the egg question a
local restaurant just received a han
dy boklet explaining in detail how to
correctly open an egg and also the
window after you open it.
A local waitress asked whether the
egg wras cooked long enough and the
man answTerde in the affirmative but
added not soon enough.
If oil is struck over at Kanatak or
at Iniskin Bay or at Yagataga Beach,
it will no doubt calm Alaska’s sea of
troubles.
And Jack McCord and a few more
oil barons will sing that ditty, com
posed by John D. entitled: “Oil By My
self.”
See you at that Athletic dance.
Mrs. Josephine Foster of New York
