MIX STARS IN COMEDY ROLE Humor Plentiful In “Soft Boiled,” at the America Theater Although Tom Mix appears fn a comedy role in his first special pro- duction, “Soft Boiled,” presented by William Fox and directed by J. G. Blystone, there are enough serious situations to command his many- sided talent. Mix has the support of beautiful Billie Dove and a clever cast, which, of course, includes his famous horse, “Tony,” and his dog “Blackie.” “Soft Bollea’ which starts at the America theater tofay for a four day engagement, he does it and consciously or other- wise, proves that beneath his here- tofore “hardbolled’ exterior, he has been carrying the ability of a na- tural comedian, Tho story is a rap- idly moving yarn dealing with a quick-tempered young westerner, who falls in love with a girl on a passing train. Under the st!pula- tions of a will dictated by a hot tempered uncle, the youth must con- trol his desire to fight or lose his inheritance, Complications turn up rapidly when tho flery westerner finds it necessary to take over the manage- ment of a road house, risque and shame! in its “wide-open” policy. In this uation, some of the more elaborate scenes are presented. The masked dancer, daring beyond the expectations of a blase crowd, the “barrel girls" chorus and the elab- orate jazz life of an all night inn, are presented in vivid detail, It’s a new sort of a picture for Tom Mix and !t promises to launch him before his public in the most at- tractive role he has undertaken.
