...number of famed and near-famed writers whom Editor MacLean raised from oblivion is astonishing. He lifted the late H.C. Witwer from a $30-a-week copy-reader's job on the Sun. He helped Albert Payson Terhune with his first work. He ''discovered" Zane Grey, Louis Joseph Vance, Charles E. Van Loan. Of his output he said: "Much of it is not literature. Little of it is great literature. It comes so straight and fresh from the loom of life that it may well be imperfect in spots and lacking that finish which a more meticulous...
...national magazines. The A. B. M. P. F. was incorporated last January. During the summer it started to raise $10,000,000 for Dry propaganda.

Later, although Novelist Grey pays taxes on two pieces of Arizona property, the warden would not issue to him a resident hunting license...

Although the great companies produced them only occasionally, in the manner of revivals, small independents have never stopped making them for rural consumption. This Zane Grey western was a silent, and a good one. With sound added and such photography as few westerns have had, it has the proper ingredients-the chase on horseback, pearl-handled revolvers, the kidnaped girl, the cattle-stealer.
