WELL KNOWN SHOW
COMING WEDNESDAY
Harold I loll Wright's "Winning
Barbara Worth" Hi Plielan St.
Valentine's luy
There should be a capacity house
out next Wednesday night, St. Val
entine's day, to witness the produc
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 this 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.
Million Komi Honk
It In not an exaggeration to Buy
tliat'i-n millions of people have read
the book, "The Winning of Barbara
Wort ," by that well-known author.
Harold llell Wright, and it is Ut an
exaggciution 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
tation by the well-known playwright
Mark Swan, and he has made the
play correspond in every vital char-
1 ucter, and with the same Intense dra
matic Interest that made the book

ing mis piay in puner tne united
States or Canada, bo 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 and the opportunity
to break the. jump by showing in an
occasional pood 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 ollice that he had
traveled to and from the coast seven
different times with various com
panies, but never before had lie been
sent over this route.

A Beautiful Sl.iry '
Almost everyone is familiar not i
.ilono with this story from the pen of!
Harold Bell Wright, but w ith his
other books, every one of which has!
been a record breaker from the
i standpoint of the number sold. "The
I Wlnrring of Barbara Worth" thrilled
book reiiders from one corner of the
country to the other. It had to do
wild a most nl jibing subject, espec
ially to westerners the reclamation
oi the great A I zona desert, and con
sequently the basic po' of success
was still more than a beautiful love
story. U had to do with one of the
frr.-'h'est engineering battles ever
waged by man against the forces of
nature. Swan in his dramatization
followed the text to the letter,
j Wilght wrote a wonderful book and
! Swan made it a beautiful, vital, grip
; ping f lay. The characters are big,
1 1 ra:h'ng men and women of the
western world; human types as sym
' iio!! in M at great conflict to bring
I the wat-.is of the Columbia river un
der ci. itrol and make it add to the
wealth ui the world.
tt might be well for those who
have a copy of the book, and who
plan rn seeing this play, to glance
through it ag;n to freshen their
memory, the better to enjoy the
show, which is produced by L. C.
i Ycomm.s.
Again we say a production of this
I kind rhould be welcomed to Alliance
; by a capacity house.
MAY CONTINUE TRAIN
NO. t TO ALLIANCE
j
The
itnrih
re is a rumor atloat that the
Burlington is considering the propo
sition of continuing passenger train
No. 39 from Seneca to Alliance. No.
oil leaves Lincoln at 11 o'clock in
the morning and runs local to Sen
eca, arriving there at 9:30 in the
j evening. It would probably l ead.
Alliance about midnight. As the
i schedule is at present the only trains
out of Lincoln for Alliance are night
trains. No. 41 leaving there at 6:20.
and No. 43 at 2:15. By running No.
39 through western Nebraska pass
engers could leave Lincoln In the
morning and get here about mid
night. If No. 39 is run to Alliance
No. 4 0 will also have to run from
here. No. 4 0 now leaves Seneca at
6:35 In the morning, reaching Lln-
4:10 in the afternoon.
