TO-DAY AT 2 P.M.
Filmed in the picturesque Varde j Valley of Arizona where Zane Grey I placed the characters .of his widely read story, "Riders of The Purple Sage," the Fox action drama of the same name makes its local debut to- | day at the Majestic Theatre, with George O'Brien as the famed "Lassiter" heading the featured cast, conI sisting of Marguerite Churchill, Noah Beery and Yvonne Pelletier. "Riders of The Purple Sage" is the dramatie story of a man's singiehanded fight to protect the life and interests of a beautiful girl, threatened by an organised band of claim jumpers, cattle thieves and outlaws. The story is replet^ with romance — in fact, the love theme is the principal motivating force. A mountain avalanche, a cattle stampede and a breath-taking race of relayed horses are typical of the many spectacular moments of the picture. The picture was filmed in entirety in the beautiful red rock country of the Verde Valley in Arizona, a region of magnificent distances, vivid colourings, and imaginative sweep. Fox Films deserves high praise for having given the subject this splendid treatment. It gives the final, authentic touch of reality.
