Queer might well be proud.
The story is embellished by a vi

finest advantage. 1t is colorful,
strongly effective and produced on
a scale of magnifcence unexam-

forced cheerfulness.
"Oh. | shall be thinking of you
and wishing for the success of the

girl cried softly. Il think if l were

In the darkness Fay could feel
her cheeks suddenly flush and
Jingle, and little. Incompetent
ed warmth and glow settled about
her heart.
Il shall be here waiting to see
you, Captain Warren, whenever
you come"
When they reached the driveway
Captain Warren paused beside a
car that was parked at a little dis
lance from the others, and held out
his hand.

right, you must promise to let me

l FEEL that they will! So l won't

He held her hand very tightly
for a moment, then stepped into
the car and was whirled away
down the drive. She stood where
he had left her, watching until the
lights of his car had disappeared
around a turn in the road. Then

Fay capitulated.

The picture is coming to the Lib

REAL BILL HART
RED BLOODED HERO
is IN CHAPS AGAIN

The real Bill Hart-hero OF ev-
cry small boy from Maine to Cali
fornia and from Canada to the
gulf-beloved of all who care for
red-blooded action on the screen
will be seen in the new Aircraft
picture Square Deal Sanderson, .
which will be shown at the Bligh
theater next Friday and Saturday.
In several of shis recent films,
Mr.. Hart has DOTTED chaps and six
shooters appearing as a convict
in one, and in another leaving the
western plains for the asphalt Of
the city streets. But now he's
back in harness, astride a trusty
horse and with his wide-brimmed
Stetson atop his head. He riots
through picture that is full to
the brim of action, excitement and
heroic deeds. There are lively
scraps, quick shooting, all the
characteristic incidents OF life as
it was lived in the yesterday of
the southwest.
Those who care for action piled
on action, true love and the code
of honor of the far west; who
reyel in scenes which show the
everlasting hills and the deserts
that stretch into miles in every
direction; for the strange and
strenuous life of the cowtowns,
the communities where men live
and die hard and are either very
honest or very eyil-will find it
all in Square Deal Sanderson."
