Nearly a Lawyer.

Few persons who see Harry Carey
in his rip-roaring western photo
plays would imagine that he was
born in the east, went to college
there and was three-quarters a law
yer before he thought Of being an
actor. His first dramatic success.
Montana" written by himself,
which held the boards for l2syears,
was produced before he had even
seen the west Yet it was a western
thriller of the most approved type.
Carey is native of New York
City. He was through his third
year at the New York university law
school when he decided to go on
the stage.
Frankly" he says, ut was be-
cause needed the money. The law
means long struggle, with meager
returns at first. | could act little.
and I had to have little money. So
| cooked up a black-face turn, and
tried it on burlesque manager. He
liked it, and signed me.
But / always liked the west
that is, | liked my idea of what it
was. So I wrote Montana reserv-
ing the star part for myself. 1t was
big success, and made me-
financially"
Carey was among the first actors
to desert the stage for pictures. He
worked at Biograpl in the old days,
when d. w. Griffith, Mary Pickford.
Henry B. Walthall and others now
famous were getting their start.

Huge British Budget
Unlikely to Meet the
Increase in Expense

London-The time is approaching
when Austen Chamberlain, the
chancellor of the exchequer, will
submit the first postwar budget.
1t cannot be genuinely postwar, be-
cause it is bound to include a great
many homecoming war charges.
Put very briefly the estimate of
the experts is that Mr.. Chamber
lain must budget for a sum of ST.
s00,000,000. 1t is expected that the
revenue provided will amount to 81
500,000,000, but this includes arrers
of excess war profits amounting to
81, 500. 100000 The present pre-
sumption is that the balance of 49,
000000,000 will be raised by Dor
rowing.
1t is doubtful whether Mr.. Cham
berlain's budget can be. confined
within $7,500,000,0O0. Our national
liabilities continue to grow at a
very rapid rate in new directions.
For example, we are now paying
about $6,000,000 a week in unenl-
ployment benefit, while peace in
dustries are not restarting with the
rapidity which was expected.
The large concessions now Of
fered to the railwaymen and the

Florence Roberts Likes
Vaudeville.

|TLORENCE ROBERTS. who
4 will be seen at the Orpheum
in Hartley ]. Manners "The
Woman Intervenes," hopes she'll
never have to play in a long play
again in her life.
"Oh, the blissful relief of going
to the theater. doing your act and
getting out again all in the space
Of an hour" says Miss Roberts.
Think OF all the time | get to nv
self to read, and sew, and see nv
friends, and take long walks, and
live like any other woman. When

my repertoire | did not live. lex

and was always in terror Of being

Manners little sketch I am on the
stage just 20 minutes twice a day.
It takes me Is minutes to dress and
make up, and is minutes to get out
OF my stage clothes into my street
gown. Then ] am my own mistress
for the rest of the day."
OF course, this is not saying what
Miss Roberts would do if a grand
four-act play came along that suited
her exactly to T.
Il suppose I'd be just enough of
fool to give up this nice. easy job
and get back into harness again."

danger OF such play coming along.

ties. Oh, they're exciting, these
fights. They're mighty exciting.
But, when | see them, | find myself
wondering what some fighter who
knows how to couple science-the
science of the 'roped arena'-with
brute strength would be able to do.
"I'm going into pictures. Within
a fortnight, I'll be domiciled At
Universal City, under the Universal
management, playing hero's roles
in Universal serials. / am asking
for one thing-I'm amenable to d.
rection, and all that, and III do what
I'm told to do, and I'll do it to the
best of my ability-but. I'm asking
for one thing. l want Universal to
put me in one of those mix-up,
free-for-all fights. I want the direc-
tor to bring out as many stalwart
huskies as he cares to assemble.
Then, let them come on US thick
and fast as they can. I want to show
how a man who knows the science
of that 'roped arena will meet them.
That will be fight worth seeing
it will be fight worth remembering.
1t will be new sort of fight, too,
for motion picture spectators to
witness. And it won't be tame. 1t
will be the hottest sort of fight that
ever set itself on record on the
screen"
Advices from Universal City say
briefly and succinctly, pointedly
and fatty, that Gentleman JIM
does not voice his wish in vain. "He
shall have they say, precisely
what he asks for and--a lot of it."

Vaudeville Volleys

Shcila Terry has just started a
tour OF the Orpheum circuit. Will
liam B. Friedlander, we'll known for
his numerous successful writings,
has provided her with "Three's a
Crowd" a conglomeration of songs
and dances, telling a logical story.
Sarah Padden, who is appearing
on the Orpheum circuit in Tom
Barry's The Eternal Barrier" has,
it is reported, decided to 60 into
pictures at the expiration of her
present tour.
Joseph E. Howard has another
revue in preparation for the Or
pheum circuit. Next season he may
make his revue in a complete road
show, travelling intact, with each
act incorporating itself into the
revue. 1t is bold and novel COM
pact, and will require some 60 per-
sons.
Mae Murray, film star, is TO leave
pictures and return to the two-a-day.
A comedy is now being written for
her by Edgar Allan Woolf.
Hobart Bosworth, who is ap-
pearing in Jack London's "Sea
Wolf" has in preparation a new
sketch written by himself, entitled
"Jes' Buck" 1t is story of west
erner whose character is just oppo-
site to that of London's salt water
hero in "The Sea Wolf"
Now that Louise Dresser is max
ing hit in vaudeville with her hus-
band, Jack Gardner, Blanche Ring
and her husband, Charles Winning
er, will be jointly starred in the near
future.
Florence Roberts is so charmed
with her vaudeville experience. brief
as it is, that she will likely continue
in the two-a-day field. Her present
vehicle, 1.-THE Woman Intervenes,"
suits her much better than any full
length play she had had in late
years.
Bessie Mccoy, the original Yama-
Yana girl, is promised to vaudeville
again, in few weeks.
