Omaha Bee, 25-September-1921

I like the design of this ad for The Night Horsemen, which apparently survives in an archive. It is based on a novel by Max Brand (Frederick Schiller Faust), who wrote lots of Westerns.

"Let your crowd go wild with excitement when the fearless king of cowboys fights the skull-faced demons." Sounds like an exciting serial. Art Acord was another contemporary of Mix and Jones, who appeared in many silent films, but did not make the transition to talkies.
