He is handsome, jv daring horseman, a deadly shot, of exceptionally fine physique, and has proved himself to be an actor of'no mean 'Accomplishment. ‘‘Riders of the Dark,” is a thrilling and fastmoving tale Of a small frontier town in the days when gangs of bandits terrorised the population for miles, around. • /Drama, arises from, the death, of the owner, and, editor of the Hangtown “ Bugle,” whose straight talk about the gang arouses their wrath—and through his pretty daughter, Molly, for whose ’dove the, "gang leader and Lieut. Crane, a- courageous cavalryman, fight a desperate battle, the odds being greatly against ..the gallant Crane, The supporting cast of “ Riders of the Dark ” is worth special mention, as no less than six well-known players appear in it, giving the picture a unique appeal, namely, Dorothy Dwan, Bert Roach, Rex Lease, Roy D’Arcy, Frank Currier and Dick Sutherland.
