FOLLOWING the announcement
that Fannie Hurst had won Lib
erty's S50,000 prize story contest
Jesse i. Lasky has stated that Miss
Hurst's story, entitled The Moving
Finger" will be produced Immediately
as Paramount picture by James
Cruze.
Miss Hurst, who has been working
at the Hollywood studio with Walter
Woods, scenario writer, is enthusias
tic over the possibilities OF the story
and has been comforting daily with
Mr.. Woods and Mr.. Cruze so that
when THE Moving Finger" reaches
the screen it will be exactly Miss
Hurst's own story.
James CruZe, the man who made
The Covered Wagon" and who has
Just finished The Pony Express" de-
clares that he feels In Miss Hursts
story he has an opportunity to do
something entirely different from any
thing he has done before.
In the Liberty contest Miss Hursts
entry triumphed over almost 100, 900
other manuscripts and plot synopsis
which were sent in from virtually
every quarter of the globe. John \.
Wheeler. executive editor of Liberty;
Mr.. Lasky and Rex Beach were the

About Bill Hart.

WHEREVER Western pictures are
thought of, probably every man,
woman or child recalls the name of
Bill Hart as the creator of the true
Western type on the screen.
William S. Hart's early years were
spent in Dakota and northwestern
Minnesota, among the Sioux Indians.
There he learned the arts of the
wilderness; how to shoot with bow
and arrow, how to handle rifle or
revolver, how to ride, how to throw a
rope, and how to blaze a trail through
the trackless forest
He acquired the hand talk" OF the
Indians, learned stoicism and bravery
by watching the older men of the
tribe and companioning with Indian
boys of his own age. He learned
100, the ways of the white man-of
the cowpuncher, and others-and of
the wild creatures of the woods. His
retentive memory and natural habit
of observation provide him with a
fund of knowledge which has been an
unfailing source from which to draw
during his later years on stage and
screen.
In the spoken drama, at an alb
surdly youthful age, Mr.. Hart played
leading roles with such noted stars
>.
Then came his inimitable portrayals
of Cash Hawkins in THE Squaw
Man" Dan Stark in "The Barrier"
the title role in owen Wister's The
Nirginian" and others. These were
the first real and authentic Western
representations and the public went
wild over them
In pictures he rapidly became the
idol of thousands of patrons OF the

Although millions OF persons are
familiar with the name Fannie Hurst,
relatively few know the "details of
the interesting career she began
when she submitted manuscripts for
publication at the age of Ia. At IS.
Fl of her short stories had been re-
jected by one editor alone, but she
was gaining experience on the staff of
st. Louis newspaper.
When she was 10 she went from ST
Louis to New York There, while
vainly endeavoring to induce editors
10 buy her wares, she used her leisure
to acquire the material which has
since enriched her books
She lived for a month over an Ar.
menian's tobacco shop in West Broad
way and became by turns a waitress
in a lunchroom, salesgirl, an ac-
tress, nursemaid and a sweatshop
worker, and even took trip to Eu-
rope In the steerage. At the end of
26 months one of her scripts came to
the attention of an editor who per-
ceived the authors possibilities, and
