Harden, Vice Houdinii.

AND now comes a successor to the
who assumes the name of Harden.
Among followers of sporting events,
especially pugilism, heavyweight
champion always looms up as sort
Of superman, the last word in strength,
cleverness and the ability to keep an
opponent just where he wants him.
In Salt Lake City, February s, 1917,
ii is claimed that Jack Dempsey, then
in all his glory, used all his strength
plus all his cleverneSS to bind and to
so fasten Harden that he could not
effect his escape. Dempsey was aided
in this by none other than Jim Flynn.
the great old Pueblo fireman, no
mean opponent on his own account.
This unbeatable combination, how
ever, failed to embarrass Harden,
whose knowledge of his own powers,
founded upon an unbroken record of
escapes from every means used to
confine him. caused him not a mo-
ment's doubt, and with his usual
speed he threw off his letters and
stood free.
Brother of the late Houdini, whose
partner he was when, at the age of
II, they appeared as the Houdini
Bros, he has helped to amaze audi
ences all over the world with his skill
in similar escapes.
Houdini's secret, it is claimed, is
now Hardeen's alone, for Houdini ap-
pointed Harden to carry on his work
and in his will bequeathed all his mag
ical effects and productions of magic
to him with the stipulation that he
carry on.
This Harden is doing.

His first screen role, merely a d.
version from his stage calling, was
in a picture produced in Denmark in
1904. He does not even remember its
name.
The screen, however, became his
livelihood following the Worlds Fair
at San Francisco, where he went to
produce a Danish play and met
Thomas III. Ince. Ince persuaded him
that Hollywood was the place for his
talents.
Since then he has risen to recogni.
ton as one of the finest character

CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER
THURSDAY.

Cornelia Otis Skinner comes to
Central Community Center, Thir-
teenth and Clifton streets, Thursday
evening at SIS to present her latest
program of character sketches, every
one of which is her own creation.
This will be the fourth event of the
community Institutes current season.
In the course of one year Miss Skin.
ner has developed into one of the
greatest attractions on the stage. Her
bookings this season are probably the
largest of any single artist. That an
actress with only a shawl chair or
table for theatrical properties can hold
immensely critical audiences for an
evening indicates the mental magic
with which she is so strangely en-
lowed
OF course much has been said OF
her early training in the environment
Of her home, for she is the daughter
of Otis Skinner, beloved of the Amer
lean stage. But Miss Skinner really
can stand alone with her work, for it
is unique. Her art is said to be highly
individualized in portraying familiar
characters with a mimicry, skill,
humor and pathos, and, above all, a
sympathy, which makes the imitation
more real than reality itself.
Miss Skinner is the author of all
her character sketches Their range
is wide. and those who watch her
carefully unfolding the plot are said
to feel that they are part of the cpl.

Baldwin school at Bryn Mawr and
