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. “Along 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. < -v i M
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 town falls
in love with her. but she picks out the

LAUNCH BIGGEST
AIRCRAFT BOAT
IN EAST, VESSEL
HAS 72 PLANES
U. S. S. LEXINGTON IS LONGER
AND FASTER THAN ANY
U. S. BATTLESHIP.
HISTORY OF NAMESAKES
Vessel Will Be Commissioned In
1927—Will Be Flagsihip of All
Aircraft Squadrons.
Many historical facts have been
lifted from the gloom of antiquity
and bathed in a brilliant newness
by the launching at the Fore River
shipyards at Quincy, Mass., recent
ly, of the aircraft carrier Lexington.
This vessel, with the Saratoga, which
will be launched within a few months
form the most remarkable advance in
naval aviation since Curtiss assem
bled and flew the world’s first air
and sea boat at San Diego 14 years
ago.
The first Lexington was a brig of
16 guns authorized by the continen
tal congress October 13, 1775. She
is said to have been the first ship
of the continental navy ready for
sea after the declaration of war.
John Barry was its captain. In Oc
tober, 1776, when under the command
of Captain William Hallock, it was
captured by the British 32-gun frig
ate Pearl as it was returning heavy
laden with powder and stores from
the West Indies.
A high wind prevented the trans
fer of the prisoners to the frigate
so the British commander put a
prize crew aboard the Lexington
■with instructions to follow the Pearl.
When night came on and til3 Brit
ish officers went belovr the 75 Am
erican prisoners seized the oppor
tunity to retake the vessel, changed
her course and escaped to Baltimore
with the British prize crew as pris
oners. Subsequently the Lexington
fought and forced the British frigate
Alert to surrender.
The second Lexington was a stoop
of war of 691 tons, with 18 guns,
built in 1825. It was with Commo
dore Perry on his memorable cruise
to Japan.
In Rodgers Family.
Commodore John Rodgers, a rela
tive of Com. John Rodgers of Ha
waiian flight fame, purchased the
third Lexington, a 500-ton side-wheel
er of seven knots speed, built in
Pittsburgh in 1860. She was bought
Iby the army for $20,000 and later
transferred to the navy. During the
civil war it rendered commendable
service chasing Confederate gunboats.
The Lexinjlon launched recently
is 888 feet over all, with 105 feet
beam and displaces 33,000 tons. It
can attain a speed of 33 knots an
hour with its electric drive.
The Lexington, the fourth, will ex
ceed in propulsion power, speed and
length the queen ships of the Amer
ican navy. It will even outclass in
these respects the superdreadnaughts
Maryland and West Virginia.
But its enormous size and poten
tial strength and speed are not its
only distinguishing features. Carry
ing 72 planes with a take-off for
the planes below deck and a land
ing space that extends from stem
to stern the ship will be literally a
floating aviation field, dwarfing the
experimental aircraft carrier Langley
ley by comparison.
There will be ample storage room
for the planes below deck and so
complete will be its machine and re
pair shops that land planes, housed
[n the navy’s best equipped shore
stations, will receive no ibetter care
jr attention than will the Lexington’s
?leet of aerial scouts and fighting
:raft thousands of miles at sea.
The enormous potentialities of the
180,000 horsepower electric motors
Rat will drive the Lexington thru
he water at the same speed as the
lestroyer are best appreciated by a
statement of what the power would
iccomplish if directed in other chan
lels.
The 180,000 horsepower would fur
lish all the light, heat and power
necessary for the city of San Diego;
would propel 10 average transpacific
liners; would operate 140,000 first
class radio broadcasting stations;
would equal the energy of 100 aver
age steam locomotives; would oper
ate 3000 street cars, and would light
5,600,000 ordinary household mazda
lamps.
When commissioned in 1927 the
Lexington will be flagship of the
aircraft squadrons, Atlantic scouting
fleet. The Saratoga’s home port will
be San Diego although the huge air
plane carried will operate at all times
with the battle fleet.
A black Pomeranian dog at Wort
ley, Eng., recently died after living
for six years among the graves in a
cemetery where his waster is buried.
Frederick Lee of London, who has
given 18 quarts of blood at various
times to hospital patients, was for
bidden by doctors to continue the
practice.
Judge Garrett of St. Louis fined
Elmer Scudder $50 for putting on
his hat in court, saying: “I’ll teach
you manners.”
Stepping down only six inches,
George Morrison of Evanston, 111.,
heard his leg pop and found that it
had been broken.
