The photography is by| Oliver T. Marsh, the art settings by Charles Cadwallader, and the sub- titles by Frederic and Fanny Hatton. The cast includes Monte Blue, Ed- mund Lowe, W. J. Ferguson, Anders Randolf, William Tooker, Howard Lang, William Frederic, M, Durant and Jeffrys. Lewis. FAMOUS RANCH USED BY CAREY FOR STAMPEDE The famous Agoure ranch at Cal- s, Cal., and five hundred of Agoure family's finest cattle were used by Harry Carey in the [making of his latest Universal-Jewel picture, a super-western photodrama called "Man to Man." the picture was adapted from the popular novel of that name by Jackson Gregory. It will be shown at the Martin The- atre Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. The use of the Agoure ranch, one of the finest in the West, was obtain- ed by the star personally from Lester Agoure, its present owner and a warm friends of the Universal cow- boy star. Agoure is the present day representative of a long line of Agoures, a family which obtained its California estates from the King of Spain in the romantic days when California was a Spanish colony. {| The ranch still retains its med- ieval romance and color, and was admirably suited to the atmosphere {needed in Carey's picture. Roaming {the broad Agoure lands were several {thousand steers. many of which were {herded before the camera in one of {the most exciting stampede scenes lever pictured for the screen. | "Man To Man" recounts the strug- {gles of a young man who fights his | way from the degradation of a South | | Sea derelict back to respectability in his home country--the cattle lands of the West. It is a story which might have been written for Carey. It pro- vided with the he-man of a role which he has made famous on the screen. | Unusual for a "Western" picture, |"Man to Man" also includes a se- quence of scemes laid in the South Seas. It was a novelty for Carey to play the role of a South Sea beach- comber, but his remarkable work in the tramp role in "Overland Red" and "Sundown Slim," two of his former impersonations, helped him wonderfully in portraying a Tahiti derelict. "Man to Man" was directed by Stuart Paton, the man who put the thrills - into "Conflict." Priscilla tended to take it up as a profes- sion." Her present picture, could have made as easily three months ago. tf ---------- Over 3,000 musicians will take part |" n the Music Day programme at the Canadian National Exhibition, includ- ing twenty-five bands, 1,500 choristers, and a large number of troubadors, pia- mists and other artists.
