Universal Weekly, 10-January-1925

Jack Hoxie was a real cowboy and rodeo performer who became a star in the early 1920s. I like the image in this trade ad.

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.

Note that Jack Hoxie starred in Flying Hoofs and Fred Thomson starred in Thundering Hoofs.

"Fred Thomson World's Champion Athlete, and his Wonder Horse Silver King." I like the image of the two together.
