WHO IS JOHN HUNT? 'CRIPPLED STEAMER GULFLIGHT LIMPS INTO PORT | | | } OHN HUNT, “the man who dared,” wrote a love story. It is a most remarkable love story, because it deals with a big, vital question, and BECAUSE IT IS TRUE. John Hunt is not a character of romance. Nor is Anna Sterling, the girl. Both are real twentieth century persons. OHN HUNT, which is not his true name, wrote his tree love story, and it was published in San Francisco. It created a sensation. The town still is talking about it. The Star had an opportunity to get the re- markable story for newspaper readers of Seattle, and felt itself fortunate to land it. So, tomorrow, the first chapter of this absorbing document will appear in this paper, and the following chapters will be published daily. you CANNOT HELP but be interested in John Hunt and Anna Ster- ling. They are both real, true-to-life folks, meeting casually, the toys of a whimsical fate, and what begins with an accidental meeting termi- nates in—MARRIAGE. TH amazing matrimonial experiment emphasizes the question: Can a man select as a wife a woman who has lived in the underworld and make such a union a marriage of respect and lasting affection? OHN HUNT, THE MAN WHO DARED, answers this question. The answer is a moving, thrilling story of big emotions, of a clean love wrested from the shadows of San Francisco’s underworld, of the relent- less power of the Barbary Coast over its habitues, of jealousies and hates and heart-breaks and the amazing power of redemption. B harvin HUNT tells the story of his life and that of Anna Sterling frank- ly, but without offense. How social and business ostracism ally them- selves with the tug of the underworld to wreck the new life they are building together, in the face of all society's bans, is vividly portrayed by THE MAN WHO DARED. NTERWOVEN in the story are Anna Sterling’s confessions—a power- ful arraignment of social conditions. THERE come, too, searching crises in the married life of John Hunt and Anna Sterling which test to the very depths the lasting power of her redemption from the sordid, adventurous life to which she had sur- rendered before she accidentally encountered the man who was to change it all by the. power of love. ig bendy let John Hunt: you his story.
