Desert Gold. Zane Grey has contributed another hair-raiser, in which a sand storm is a vast feature. It deals with the dangers surrounding a girl who lived on the edge of a Western desert, and how a brave lieutenant of cavalry (Neil Hamilton) preserved her from them. Western pictures, like Western sandwiches,- are much the same everywhere and good if you like them...
Author White, oldest living native of U. S. parentage in El Paso, Tex., pours gentle, drawling scorn upon the romanticism with which Zane Greys and Harold Bell Wrights have invested the early inhabitants of the Southwest, and upon the paunchy, pasty-faced commercialism of the present inhabitants.

Twirling this combination on a fairly familiar Western axis, they revealed an hour or so of highly satisfactory amusement. Miss Bennett plays the Broadway cabaret girl transplanted abruptly to the Western hills. Her lipstick and her silks are misunderstood by the conventional natives. But they go to her cowboy's head and he marries her by force. Their stormy honeymoon is completely surrounded by a forest fire through which they...
