WESTERN DRAMA AT CRYSTAL PALACE.
All Mr Zane Grey’s talent, which has captivated fiction readers in these days, has been put into “The Mvsterious Rider.” It is a story of the West — the wildest and the woolliest West—and, inevitably, it has a rugged background and a large measure of pure romance. It is not a cattle-rustling story. Mr Jack Holt ride 3 furiously, but he has good reason for it. Infuriated Western ranchers are on his track, intent on catching him and lynching him. Tills is exciting enough for him, but it is distinctly unjust, as there are no grounds for iheir suspicions that he plots to deprive them of their lands. As a matter of fact, to his credit, he is intent on exposing a plot against them. “ The Banger Signal,” in which Miss Jane Novak has the leading part, has, as the climax of its excitement, a railway crash. A train is wrecked, but this is an act of heroism, done to save a much greater disaster The “Gazette” is an interesting feature of the programme. The Symphony Orchestra does admirable work.
