BLARNEY” FRIDAY

" Saturday Evening Post ” .stories are the cream of the world’s literary output. This famous magazine’s tremendous international cireulation takes these stories to millions of readers throughout the world. Such a story, and with such an immense world-wide popularity is “ Blarney,” the screen adaptation of Don Herne's sporting classic, *• In Praise of James Carabine.” ft was hailed as the greatest story of its kind ever to appear in the

•'Evening Post.” Its locale is the Irish and -American prize rings of the ’7ti’s—when hare knuckles, low stakes, and forty-round lights were in vogue: when terrific battles were fought on trampled green turf: and when to be arrested by the police was a likely outcome of the encounter. Renee Adoree is tne featured feminine star. She is as adorable and fascinating in the role of an Irish colleen ns in the typically French parts she has recently portrayed. Her romance—how she loved, and kept on loving, even when the man had forgotten her, and then helped him to win regeneration—is depicted with a lingering charm. .Ralph Graves, physically magnificent, and an actor of considerable talent, will inspire women’s admiration and men’s envy as James Carabine, Champion of the AVorld. To see him light his slashing battles against the mightiest stalwarts of two continents, is to watch action-packed moments, highly spectacular and sublimely thrilling. Come to see “ lllarney.*’ Ami if you’re not Irish —you’ll wish you were.

The supports are Topical, further chapters of the ‘’Winking Idol” serial, and a good comedy.
