and The Walk-Offs,' but all the while
something inside seemed dissatisfied

RiDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE

RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE
William Farnum's name has be-
come associated with film plays Of
power an6dgreat dramatic intensity.
Therefore moving picture patrons
will look forward with keen antici-
patton to his latest picture, "Riders
of: the Purple Sage" which will be
shown at the Rex theatre for one
day, Saturday.
Adapted from Zane Grey's famous
novel Of the same name, "Riders of
the Purple Sage" tells a story that
breathes all the ruggedness, virility
and vastness of the great west in the
early pioneer days, and affords Mr..
Farnum an. exceptional opportunity
to portray those sterling qualities Of
manhood which have made him pre-
eminent among stars Of the screen.
Its scenes laid in Utah, in the days
when INSCRIPTIONS leaders of the
Mormon church were trying to spread
the tenet OF polygamy, this great
photoplay tells of the abduction Of
girl by a dignatary Of the Mormon
church, of the long hunt Of her bro
ther for the guilty man, and of the
final settlement, when Lassiter. as
played by Mr.. Farnum, avenges the
great wrong on the honor of his sis
ter. J
Startling gun duels, thrilling rides
along the edge of frowning cliffs,
sinister intrigues, and sensational
revelations of the mysterious prac-
tices Of the early Mormon elders-all
form a tremendous sweep Of action
that mounts into a tremendous cli-
max, when a huge rock is dropped
down a narrow gorge to crush body
of horsemen that are pursuing a man
and girl. The horsemen are killed,
but the rock seals up the narrow val
ley the man and girl forever.
Running thru the picture is an abb
sorbing love story that tells Of the
great love of strong man for good
woman.
