It isn’t the first time that sudden wealth has sent love out the win- dows. These “rags to riches” unions usually are the first to bang up in the courts Tom’s wild riding and pistol tot- ing won his stardom shortly after his marriage, and the fortune grew overnight. But cowboys and Wild Western pictures are no longer the rage, and perhaps that is how Mrs. Mix felt about it. She grew tired of seeing her husband dressed in boots and spurs and embroidered blouses every day. She wanted him to act the Beau Gallant and his only thought was “My King- dom for a Horse!” This was Tom's second unhappy marital venture and he has every intention of making it his last. Ruth is his daughter, by the former marriage. All he wants from the world is a good horse, a saddle and a bridle, and a tent. That isn't asking much.
