way in the distinguished company
of Mr.. Tom Mix of Tennessee,
Oklahoma, Arizona and California.
There was day in the not-too-
distant past when I went through
the motions of supervising the eS-
teemed and highly talented Mr..
Mix in some of the choicest horse
operas ever filmed in or around
Hollywood.
A supervisor with Mr.. Tom Mix
was just so much excess baggage.
Thomas used to do his own super
vising-does it now, for all I know.
Of all the horse opera stars I
have known, he was the most
thoroughly efficient. A superb
horseman whose ascent to the
saddle was a joy to watch-for all
the world like bird rising from
the ground-alive and alert in
every physical expression; no bad
actor, either.
He was, besides, a first-class
organizer, and always able to do
the job of anybody in his troupe
little better than that person
himself.
Tom, squirting his famous horse,
Tony, through the plate-glass win
dow of the Last Chance Saloon in

tered glass showering about his
head and shoulders, was a sight

the same old situations, demanded
new angles and even fancy dress.
They got away from the authen-
tic Western story. They failed to
realize, perhaps, that this type OF
picture was actually preserving a
phase of American life which was
truly heroic and which could not
be transplanted or twisted out OF
its natural environment.
And now they are going back to
the old formula, with better story
material, better writing and on
the whole, better acting.
The formula for a good Western
is fairly simple: Along comes the
hero on his paint horse, his palo-
mino or his blood bay.
He is probably a stranger IN
the land riding the chuck line"
not a saddle bum but a young
fellow out to see new country, 10
find out what lies on the other
side of the desert.
And so he rides into the tough
town, the outlaws hangout. He
clashes with the No. / bad man,
endeavors to prevent this scoun-
drel from annoying the young
school teacher or perhaps the
ranch owners daughter, just PACK
from school in the East. ..
