“HELL ROARING REFORM.”
Of all the daredevil stunts which have been presented to the eye through the medium of the motion picture, none approaches in daring the one which Tom Mix, the famous cowboy star, performed recently in the making of a picture. Incidentally, the intrepid rider almost lost his life doing it. The play required him to ride his horse up two flights of stairs to the balcony of a building and then to leap the horse over the railing to the roof of a nearby building. Mix, famous for nerve, made the flight, and he and the horse crashed through the roof to the floor below. The pair turned a complete somersault in the air and the horse landed on its knees, but was uninjured. Mix remained on its back. This feat, which occurs in the new r William Fox photoplay, "Hell Roarin' Reform," is admitted by Mix to be the most hazardous he ever has undertaken, and those familiar' with his pictures will agree that the exTexas Ranger and soldier has taken some long chances in his work. "Hell Roarin' Reform" will be shown at the Empire Theatre on Monday next.
