Score another success for Tom Mix: This very popular star appeared on the screen last night at the Town Hall in as fine a Western play as has. Yet been put through a cinematograph. It is called “Fighting for Gold” and the story was written by Willian_l I»lacLeod Raine and was known in its book form as "The Highgrader.” It contains -.2 charming love story and Tom Mix again demonstrates that he can ride up and down at any angle. that he can rope four men -at -.1 time, that he is a Wonderful marksman and also that the leading lady is safer in his arms than riding alone in a runaway Waggon. In the latter scene 'l‘om Mix certainly gives his audience a thrill for riding at break neck speed beside the runaway--IHB calls to her to jump and catches her in his arms as easily as if she were a baseball.
