BILLY HART AT
LIBERTY TONIGHT .
William S. Mart is at the Liberty
Tuesday and Wednesday in "Travel
ing On.'- The story is as follow-:
Out in Arizona, past where the
West begins, is a Hell-pit known as
Ttimblo Bluff. Rightly named it is
a 3pot into which tirmbie all the
queerest characters in the world.
! It is dominated by a two-gunned per
sonality named McGee who speaks
It is oracles w ith a leaden tongue.
One day liter? tumbles into town
a preacher of the word of God, to
: settlor with his wife and child. Me
Gee recognizes in him a former part
ner In crime and Is at first loath to
have him remain,But one glimpse of
the wife and McGee decides that
is long its it suits him lie will allow
i Morton, the preacher, to remain in
town, and he does not even hinder
I him when Morton commences to
, build a church.
i At n critical moment, when McGee
| is pursuing his plans, J. B. arrives
ion the scene. He is a man who can
; neither read nor write and who does
, not even know his own name, having
adopted a cattle brand as a substi
■ tute. Seeing the woman, he to
i loves her, but with a love different
j from that of McGee. Excepting h.im
i self, he trusts nothing that walks
on less than four logs and it is this
I trust in himself that ho boastingly
asserts to Susan Morton which wiil
wiu her to him despite her husband.
'She, however, has Implicit faith in
| God and everything comes out all
i right.
.1. B. is played by William Hart;
McGee Is impersonated by James
Earley; the woman is Ethel Gray
| Terry and the child is Mary Jane

Gibbon, author of successful nov

the neglected “Canuck" scribes on
the literary map of til own

thought would be a small group of
writers together for a meeting in
Montreal to form a Canadian Au
thors* Association. Expecting s
couple of dozen, they vrt.ee pleas
antly surprised when over a hun
dred authors of note gathered to
agree upon a constitution.
In the two years past, -be Asso
ciation has grown to great pft)por
tions and now numbers nearly a
thousand members. Two Canadian
Authors* Book Weeks bars been
held, sad tha Canadian pabllcthor
oughly aroused to the importance i
of its producers of literature.
Canada is taking delight in point- I

are surprised to find that some of
their favorite writers come from !
