Fred Thomson (no relation) had a diverse career. While attending the Princeton Theological Seminary, he earned the Amateur Athletic Union's All-Around Champion trophy in 1910, 1911 and 1913. After being ordained as a Presbyterian minister, he joined the Army and served as a chaplain during World War One. He went into the movie business after he married director and screenwriter Frances Marion. In time, he became a major western star. Sadly, he died of tetanus in 1928.

Eddie Sedgwick also directed Broadway or Bust. I would go to this double bill which featured Hoot Gibson and Buck Jones.

Universal released a series of twelve five-reel westerns "featuring the famous Universal Ranch Riders." Six starred Jack Hoxie and six starred William Desmond.
Photoplay, June, 1924 |
"Jack, seated upon his huge white horse, comes riding into the picture just when he's needed most..."

This is not a good drawing of Jack Hoxie.
