Harry Carey is one star in west
ern pictures today who is a real
honest-to-goodness cowpuncher and
broncho buster, born and reared on
a ranch, and knows his west from
mountain to coast and gulf to Dor
der, shoots, rides and ropes like a
whirlwind and yet is the most mat
ural" actor of them all. Harry Carey
will appear at the Brandeis theater
in person tomorrow matinee and
evening, in connection with his lat
est picture, "Roped."
David Warfeld is to appear at the
Brandeis theater on Tuesday and

vival of THE Auctioneer," the play
that will recall pleasant recollec-
tons of Warheld's first great stage
success before he became identified |
with THE Music Master"

the Empress theater for the last |
times today, in a vehicle in which |

A laughing comedy number is offer |
ed by the Joe Boganny troupe, con-
sisting of six male athletes of as
sorted sizes. Corporal Joe Nathan,
is a wonder. Logan, Dunn and |
Hazel contribute a comedy sketch
entitled 1.-TWO Nuts and Kernel"
1.-THE Auctioneer" is a revival of
Mr.. Warhelds's first great success,
since the production of which seven
teen years have elapsed. In the in
tervening period this universally |
beloved and admired actor has
achieved fame in a dramatic world |
that is all his own. The play is a
comedy in three acts, but it is with
Mr.. Warheld's exquisite embodi-
ment of its leading character, a poor
old Eastside peddler, that public in
terest is chiefly concerned, for it is
regarded as one of the
finest examples of character imper-
sonation in the annals of the Ameri-
ran stage
