FINE WESTERN DRAMA.
That perfect combination of romance and thrilling action comes together in “ Riders of the Purple Sage,” which will start to-day at the Majestic, to make it one of the recommended pictures of the day. Fox Films has made of this famous Zane Grey subject one of those infrequent so-called *’ programme pictures ” that emerges from the studios as a real achievement; a perfect harmony of cast, story, setting and direction that results in a picture to be talked about and remembered., George O’Brien, in the role of Lassiter. the heroic stranger, has the finest role of his career; Marguerite Churchill is beautiful and convincing- as Jane Withersteen, owner of the historic ranch that Lassiter saves from the depredations of Noah Beery.
