STRAND

Returning to the kind Of role which won him his greatest fame in the days when he was teamed with Marie Dressler, Wallace Beery as broken-down veterinary is CO., starred with Mickey Rooney for the first time in "Stablemates" which opens a three day engagement at the Warner Bros. Strand theater starting with performances this af- ternoon. @
 This dramatic relation of the friendship of broken-down veter- mary and penniless stable boy, takes Berry back to the character izations he gave in "The Champ, Min and Bill" and 'Tugboat An- nie". Mickey Rooney, who at the present time is soaring to stardom with leaps and bounds, has a role that tests his ability more than anything he has yet done on the screen. He plays a part that is in direct contrast to his happy -go- lucky roles in the Judge Hardy Family series.
 It tells the story of derelict vet erinary who strikes up a warm friendship with an orphan stable boy, performs a dangerous opera ton which saves a horses life, and then in dramatic scene sacrifices his freedom that the boy may keep the horse he loves.
 Among the famous thoroughbreds used in the race-track scenes are Seabiscuit, Lloyd Pan. Dauber, Specify and Indian Broom. Most of the action takes place behind the scenes of modern race track with all the details of handling and rac- ing horses carefully filmed.
 In the supporting cast are Arthur Hol1l, Margaret Hamilton and Mar iorie Gateson.
 The laughable difficulties. of a young married couple is spotlighted in the co-feature Vacation From Love-. Dennis O'Keefe and Florence Rice. two of the screens most promising aspirants for stardom are teamed for the first time in this comedy and both give an ex- cellent account of themselves.

A public administrator to fill the
vacancy left by the death of D. L.

county supervisors for the term set
by law and candidates for the office
must circulate and file petitions
and be voted upon by the electors
at the general election in November
Deputy District Attorney Charles

take such action and instructed
County Clerk w. j. McClelland to
issue the nomination petitions to
the candidates. He based his de-

He will telegraph Attorney Gen
