CAREY'S VERSATILITY. |.JARRY CAREY, Universal's popular star of Western dramas, is undoubtedly one of the most versatile individuals in motion pictures, not alone in the wide range of parts that he has successfully played, but in the diversity of activities that he has recorded in his young life in addition to being a good screen actor and a public idol. Harry Carey, who will be seen in his latest Universal picture, "Thieves' Gold," at the Theatre on has been, or is, author, director, cowboy, lawyer, actor, manager, athlete, prize-fighter, miner, expert swimmer, engineer, animal trainer and a few other minor accomplishment. Carey & Buhleu, attomeys-at-law, was a sign that at one time graced the glass doors of an office in a New York building. He left the practise of law to become superintendent of the City Island Street Railway, which was owned by his father, the late Judge Henry D. Carey of New York. He soon after wrote his first play, "The Bandit's Bride," in which he appeared himself at Proctor's Theatre in Harlem, New York. He then went to Arizona and worked on a ranch for a year or more, coming East, writing and appearing in "Montana," "Two Women and That Man," "The Heart of Alaska," "The Storm" and others, all of which he wrote, staged and starred in himself. He completed his education in New York University and held the running high jump record, the putting the shot and the 16-pound hammer records. He was captain of the football team and the star pitcher of the baseball team. He has been a cowboy in real life, working on a ranch as an ordinary cowpuncher, and he spent considerable time in Alaska, where he collected the material for several of his plays. Harry Carey's versatility has been well proven, but his best work has been done on the cowboy roles of the Western dramas, particularly the type he plays in "Thieves' Gold."
