Frank Camneau Again Plays Part of
Bad Man—Coming Saturday.
"Frank Oampeau, who played the
gambler in "3 Bad Men," is busy
again. Campeau plays Frank Healy
in the screen version of J. .Allan
Dunn's novel "No Man's Gold," starring Tom Mix. It will show at the
Liberty theatre Saturday and Sunday.
This desert dramai opens with Healy
trailling Wat Lyman and his nine-
year-old son, who have just discover-,
ed a gold mine. Healy fires and Lyman drops mortally wounded.
Forest Taylor plays Lyman and
Mickey Moore the hoy.
Stone, portrayed by Tom Mix, attracted by the sound of the shot, rides
up just as lefty Logan limps into
sight. Harry Gripp, plays Logan, a third-rate pugilist, who has
just been bounced off a freight train,.
Lyman tears a map into three parts,
gives one to Healy, the .second to Lar-
kin and the third to Stone, making
them swear they will give the boy a
half interest in the mine.
Lyman dies and the party goes to
Los Alitos for equipment. They arrive while a rodeo is In progress.
Jane Rogers, the role played by Eva
Novak, is favorite in the women's
race. "While she is preparing to
mount, Pete Krell, master of ceremonies, orders a henchman to pull her
out .of the saddle when her horse
starts. Malcolm Waite plays the part
of KreliL
Stone,, on Logan's horse, dashes to
Jaiae, picks her up and places her in
the saddle. She is first but Krell declares her disqualified. After a rough
and tumble fight, Stone knocks Krell
out< Stone asks Jane to take care of
Jimmy. When Stone visits her ranch
at night, their love is revealed.    '
While Stone is at the ranch Healy
plots with Krell and his gang to follow Stone's outfit and kill them. The
next day a prospector overhears the
plot. He tells Jane, who dashes to-
warn Stone, but falls into Krell's
hands. The rescue of Jane and the
routing of the outlaws by Tom, furnishes some of the biggest thrills seen
on the screen in many a moon.
