HARRY CAREY STAR
IN MAN To MAN At
THE STRAND TODAY

Harry Carey, the most human
Western character actor in pictures,
returns to the Strand for a three day
engagement, starting today, star
ring in Man to Man." Universafs
special presentation of Jackson Greg
ory's renowned novel of the same
name.
"Man to Man"-even the title sug-
gests Carey, doesn't it?-has pro-
yided the star with his greatest role
since "The Fox" and by many writ
ers the present production is cited
as a much more human narrative
and, consequently, much more ap-
pealing picture. Thrills are numer-
Gus in the very nature of the story,
and it is a safe statement to make
that never before in the history of
Western picture making has there
been a.scene introduced that in any
manner compares with the great
stampede shown in MAN to Man." a
scene made near Universal City, and
in which there were 5000 head OF
cattle used. Many of the other scenes
were made near Benson. Ariz.
Careys role is that of "Steve Pack
ard" a derelict-his family one .of
noted crooks and sharks of the West
ern plains He has left the Arizona
country after having served jail

Seas. He drifts into "Portugee Joe's'
place, and is about to be thrown into
the tropical storm which Is raging,
when, searching through his tattered
and torn clothing, he finds a lone
coin, the price of a drink. While he
is waiting for the drink he spies
letter behind the "bar" addressed to
himself. marked care the American
consul. There being no consul at
Tiva -Tiva, the letter has been left
at this dive, the stopping place for
tourists EN- route, the meeting place
for all kinds of people. Opening it,
he learns his father has died and has
left him $4,000. The letter is signed
by "Birl Royce" foreman of his
fathers. Arizona range, in whose
keeping the money has been left.
s'Old He'll Fire Packard" Steve's
granddad. is threatening the prop
erty. and Royce begs Steve to come
home. The derelict smiles and tears
up the letter.
Meantime, in an adjoining room,
the sounds of struggle are made, and
Steve opens the door to find Eu-
ropean attempting to cast aside his
mistress. a woman of the South seas.
Bill intercedes for her, and for his
trouble he is thrown out of the place
with the woman. She, has been
wounded in the fight and Steve car
ries her to her hut. There he finds
she is the mother of a little daughter,
and with her dying breath she begs
Steve to care for the baby and TO
take it away from TivaT Some
thing in the womans plight arouses
the latent manhood in Steve's heart,
and he gives his promise. For the
first time in wears he prays for the
strength to permit him to rear the
child properly. And next we find
him working away with the kanakas
and the Chinese coolies. saving every
penny he so laboriously earns, ana
then he sets sail for San Francisco,
where he places the girl in a con-
vent and leaves for his Arizona home.
There he runs afoul of Terry
Tempest, Irish and pretty, neighbors
of the Packards. and a girl who holds
his family in the most sincere con-
tempt. In fact, the name of Pack

try Just prior to Steves arrival
Hell Fire has replaced Royce as
foreman and substituted Blenham,
tool. Blenharn has spied on Royce
and discovered the hiding place OF
the money. Hiding in ambush, he
fires a shotgun right into the face of
Royce, and while he does not Kill
him, he blinds him in both eyes.
When Steve is handed the package,
which Royce believes contains the
ten one thousand dollar bills, there
are but ten one dollar bills in it.
Steve does not tell Royce the differ
ence; he prefers to play the game
alone, and learn who is responsible
for the robbery and the substitution
of the money. Blenham then con-
spires to have Hell Fire" and Steve
become deadly enemies, and knowing
Hell Fire has threatened to drive
Steve out of the country, he thinks
to hasten matters through clever
cattle grazing scheme. But in the
plot there is incorporated the cattle
of Terry Tempest. and when the girl
and Steve visit the range to locate
the source of the trouble which is
rapidly brewing. Terry is caught in
the stampede of cattle, and but for
the fearlessness and bravery of Steve
