just as comfortable as an' easy
chair. ; L
. The Spanish sequence, wherein
Tom Mix imagines "himself the re
incarnation of Don; Juan, gives
"The Lucky Horseshoe' a decid
edly different twang, and marks
a forward step In the production
of -western films. The star's reck
less daring and surprising agility
are brought to a full peak by the
unusual feats he performs while in
the character of the colorful and
romantic legendaryj hero of old
Spain.- . ! !;; ... V.M
