AMUSEMENTS.

QUEEN’S THEATRE. . Playing the part of Lassiter, Tom Mix attracted a crowd at the Queen’s Theatre last night, where Zane Grey’s famous novel, “Riders of ithe Purple Sage,” is'playing. In this virile drama of pioneer days, Mr Mix portrays the part of a Western hero who, like a devastating angel, swept through the countryside of the early settlement and made his name a terror to right a great wrong.„ He plays it so convincingly and with such a wealth of dramatc force that the role is destined to stand as one of his greatest. The closing scene of this throbbing drama of the great Western desert is staged in the mountains, in a spot of great natural grandeur. To save a girl and her sweetheart from a force of pursuing rustlers, a huge rock is dropped down a sheer cliff, crushing to death many of the horsemen.. Running through the entire picture is a powerful, absorbing love story that breaths the ruggedness and the wholesomeness of the great West. One of the biggest surprises is the discovery of the identity of the mysterious masked rider. To-night is the final showing.
