There should be a capacity house

tion of Harold Hell Wright's "The
Winning of Barbara Worth" at the
Phelan oper house. Whether or
not Alliance people appreciate a
show of tlila character remains to be
seen, but It woul seem that when a
show of this nature conies to town
that it should receive the hearty sup
port of every resident of the City.

It Is not an exaggeration to say
thaten millions of people have read
Ihe book, "The Winning of Barbara
Wort," by that well-known author.
Harold Hell Wright, and It is iot an
exaggeration to say that a very large
percentage of this number will see
the play before it is relegated to the
store house. It has the heart Inter
est, tho punch, the absorbing love
story characteristic of the greatest
successes of the state. It Is an adap

Playing the Citie
There is but one company present
ing this play in plther the United
States or Canada, so it will be under
stood that this is the original com
pany. The company has been play
ing the large cities on the coast and
Is now on its return trip east. The
company has been routed' over a
different route than that usually fol
lowed which accounts for the fact
that it will play in Alliance. The
distance is great ard the opportunity
to break the. Jump by showing In an
occasional good town along the way
is welcomed, for the cost of moving
a .production of this nature is neces
sarily great. The gentleman In ad
vance of this company stated yester
day in the Herald office that he had
traveled to and from the coast seven
different times with Various com
panies, but never before had he been
.lent over this route.
Hut One Company Out

Wednesday night is the only com

A Beautiful Story
Almost everyone is familiar not
alone with this story from the pen of
Harold Bell Wright, but with hit
other books, every ono of which has
been a record breaker from the
standpoint of the number sold. "The
VVInrciiiK of Barbara Worth" thrilled
book retidern from one corner of the
country to the other. It had to do
with a most uLljrbing subject, espec
ially to westerners the reclamation
ol the great A zona desert, and con
sofiuvnC.y the basic po'y'. of success
was still more than a beautiful love
story. It had to do with one of the
fcraest engineering battles ever
