CARL GABRIELSON
Who plays the part of Tracey Tanner
in the Fortune Hunter.

No young man in Salem has 4 wider
acquaintance than Carl GabrielsOn. He
counts his personal friends by the hun
drods, and each personal friend swears
by him-figuratively speaking, of
course. When he entered the Salem
High School he was known as a mixer
of the first magnitude. He was one Of
The pioneers who put the S. II. S. on
tho inter-scholastic map. When he
landed ON the University of Oregon
campus he found that his reputation as
a mixer and an organizer had pre-
ceded him, and he was wildly angled
for by all the fraternities at the
state college. Beta Theta Pi finally
hooked him, and he became miXel-in-
chief for that national organization Of
good fellows.
Carl's college career is part of the
student history Of the state University.
He became known chiefly as an athlete
and song bird (having been "stunt
man" on the Oregon Glee for four
years) and during his student days he
gained statewide reputation as IN
amateur actor
Since his graduation young Gabriel
son has become a full-flcdged real
estate man, and has pulled off some of
the biggest land deals in the William
cite Valley.
And what is this all about9 All, Not
Wrong again, my dear Watson. Carl
Giabrielson is not running for office,
or anything like that. This is merely
a preface to the announcement that he
is to play one of the leading character
parts in Winchell Smith s world
famous comedy, "The Fortune Hunter, "
which the Social Service Center of the
Salem Commercial Club is to produce
here February and 4, with an all

fit of organized municipal charity.
Carl Gabrielson plays the part of
Tracey Tanner, the liveryman 8 son.
Everyone who has seen "The Fortune

one of the best juvenile comedy roles
ever written, and has the unique dis
