Tom Mix Starts Work on Fiftieth Picture -- June 19, 2024

Exhibitors Herald, 07-June-1924

The article is a mite confusing. If I counted correctly, The Heart Buster was Tom's fifty-first starring feature for Fox. Before that, he appeared in shorts for Fox and a long series of shorts and a few features for the Selig Polyscope company.

Tom played a flying forest ranger in Eyes of the Forest, which was directed by Lambert Hillyer. Cupid's Round-up was Tom's first feature film for Fox, released in 1918. Edward LeSaint directed. Fox must have rereleased the movie.

"When Tom Mix leaps from a horse to an airplane, you'll leap right out of your seat."

I was surprised to learn that Napier, New Zealand had a Mardi Gras carnival. Tom's hat wrote on a float in the parade.

Tom Mix and heavyweight champ Jack Dempsey were major celebrities. Jack was in Hollywood to appear in a series of short films.
