Famous Authoress Elinor Glyn Plans West Coast Visit
English authoress Elinor Glyn, famed for Three Weeks, reached Salt Lake last week as a guest at the Samuel Newhouse home. She will bring Three Weeks and its English counterpart to America this autumn and says she travels for pleasure and social engagements, not lectures. Glyn intends to gather material for a future book on Elizabeth’s visits to America and plans a Santa Barbara stay before June. Meanwhile, the National Audubon Society asks why Nevada’s fish and game laws are not read in public schools monthly, a practice Mills noted but not yet enacted.
