MAJESTIC
“LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS” “The Light of the Western Stars.” ! another Zane Grey story, with Richard Arlen, Mary Brian and Harry Green, will commence at the Majestic Theatre today. An excellent cast, a great production, and a story that is brimful of melodramatic action, interspersed with delicious comedy, and the whole knitted together with a strong romantic theme, the photoplay has everything a moving picture should have for good entertainment. “The Light of the Western Stars” had all of these things, and, in addition, it is inspiringly spectacular, filmed on a big, imposing scale. The story deals with the adventures of a city-bred girl who arrives in Texas to take charge of the ranch owned by her brother, who has met his death at the hands of a mysterious assailant. Zane Grey’s stories are the outstanding tales of Western life today. The novels have been read by millions, and in silent form such pictures as “The Wp_pdorer of the Wasteland,” "The Gall of the Canyon.” "The Thundering Herd” and "The Vanishing Race," were gems of the screen world. With dialogue Zane Grey is, without doubt, one of the greatest authors writing for the screen.
