FIGHTIN' MAD”. AT
LIBCRTY TONIGHT!
For ionight only. William Desmond
will be the featured star in “Fightin'
Mad,” at the Liberty. This is a
Western production and the review
by a prominent writer ;« as follows:
Laughs are mingled with thrills
n the William Desmond production,
'Fightin' Mad,” distributed by Met
ro, which has been taken from an
original story by H. H. Van Loan
ibout four cowboys, who, emulating
Dumas' Three Musketeers, grip hands
uid swear, “One for all. ami all for
>ne." Starting out like a comedy
if virile Westerner, whoso failing
lor fights amuses his acquaintances,
the picture suddenly swerves into
tnelodrama of the most virulent sort
—Mexicans, fair maidens, and n res
cue by the border police—but it
is all so entertaining that it pleases
Immensely, though it does not al
ways convince.
