AMUSEMENTS.
QUEEN’S THEATRE. Tom Mix fits the role of Jim Lassiter in his latest William Fox production, “Riders of the Purple Sage,” so perfectly that it seems Zane Grey must have had the cowboy hero in mind when he wrote this, his greatest novel. It is a typical Mix role, with ample opportunities for Tonj% his wonderhorse, to share in the daring deeds of his master. “Riders of the Purple Sage” will come to the Queen’s tonight. It is a picturesque romance of the West of forty years ago. Mix plays the role of a chivalrous, soft-spoken cowboy who comes riding forth to avenge his sister, kidnapped by an unscrupulous lawyer. The charming Mabel Ballin plays the role of the girl rancher, and Marian Nixon, a graceful figure in boy’s clothes, acts the part of Lassiter’s niece.
The magnificent picturisation of A. S. M. Hutchinson’s well-known novel, “This Freedom,” has won him high praise from all critics wherever it has been screened; the subject of this picture is one of the most widely argued questions of the day. It will be shown at the Queen’s on Friday.
