They combine well and keep the plot moving in a highly satisfactory manner. On Saturday Fnivorsal’s Rough Riding corps appears in “The Outlaw’s Daughter," a Universal Blue Streak Western which is coming to the Royal theatre. In the cast are Edward Ileai ne, Robert Walker, Jack Gavin, Harry Todd, Ben (torlmll and Boh Burns.
