1931 Fox Film

When we reach Fox Film's 1931 production of Riders of the Purple Sage, images are no longer in public domain. For that reason, we are sending you directly to the Internet Movie Database for that film to view images and additional information. The featured movie poster is offered under copyright law's "fair use" exclusion because of Zane Grey's West Society's status as a non-profit organized for educational purposes. It is worth noting that this film steers clear of references to the Latter-day Saint religion. This version was the first Riders of the Purple Sage "talkie" and can be viewed in its entirety at its YouTube site.

Georgo O'Brien (Jim Lassiter), Marguerite Churchill (Jane Withersteen), Noah Beery (Judge Dyer), Yvonne Pelletier (Bess), James Todd ("Vern" [as opposed to Bern] Venters), Stanley Fields (Oldring), Lester Dorr (Judkins), Shirley Nail (Fay Larkin)
