THE “FIGHTING EDGE"
AT THE LIBERTY SUNDAY
“The Fighting Edge,” on tor to
morrow night only at the Liberty
Theatre, is a thrilling melodrama of
the Mexican border, with desperadoes,
a haunted house, mystery and crime
lightened by the gleam of comedy
and charm of romance.
Patsy Ruth Miller and Kenneth
Harlan make their initial appearance
together in this production, which is
based on the exciting novel of Wil
liam McLeod Raine.
The story concerns a band of out
laws who have been smuggling Chin
ese into the country, and baffling
the government officials. They em
ploy Juan de Dois O’Rourke, (Ken
neth Harlan) to spy on the smug
glers, whose haunted headquarters
are on the Mexican side of the bord
er. He meets a lovely girl, Phoebe
Joyce (Patsy Ruth Miller) en route,
but they are suspicious of each
other’s mission.
At the ranch house the cook (Hei
nie Conklin) has begun to suspect
his employers, who in turn suspect
O’Rourke. Phoebe has come in search
of her father, held a prisoner by the
smugglers, and O’Rourke convinces
her of his honesty, when, in a series
of thrilling fights with the smugglers,
ho aids her to escape with her fath
er. O’Rourke brings the outlaws to
justice, and wins Phoebe, having
proved rhe fighting edge beneath his
mdolent Spanish exterior.
