Where the Public Knows it Sees Good Shows NOW HERE —IN— a fast-action outdoors story which eclipses all his previous efforts in the exploitation of original and daring feats. “THE DAREDEVIL” Tom Mix stands supreme in the execution of hazardous things. You will marvel at his skill and recklessness. If the ordinary screen drama holds no thrills for you, this picture is guaranteed to. Just for example, he rides his horse alongside a flying freight train, shoots the padlock off a car door, rescues the girl, places her in the saddle and jumps into the car himself, all at top speed.
