WARNER BEGAN
CAREER AS
ASURGEON

IF ever there was a born actor,
= with the art of dramatic in
terpretation in his blood, it Is H.
b. Warner, who is featured with
Lois Wilson in 1.-The Furies," the
First National and Vitaphone pic
ture now playing at Warmers Met
ropolitan Theater. He has always
loved the theater, which he con-
siderS is now entering upon new
and broader phase with the devel-
opment of talkinG pictures.
Nevertheless, he began manhood
in a profession as far removed
from stage or screen as can well
be imagined. For he studied to be
a surgeon and earned his living
for some time in that capacity
before the call Of the theater
proved too strong for his powers
Of resistance.
His experiences as a surgeon
were obtained in England, his ma
tive land. Mr.. Warner was born
near London; he attended Bedford
College and after obtaining his
experience as a surgeon he made
his stage debut in the British CAPT.
tai. Later he came to the United
States and was travelling with a,
repertoire company when the late
Thomas Ince offered him his first
screen opportunity. For several
years he alternated between stage
and screen.
His most sensational role as a
stage player was the title part in
Alias Jimmy Valentine" On the
screen he has played a wide range
of roles, including the supremely
difficult central character in THE
King of Kings" His role in 'The
FurieS" is said to be Of most un-
