 2\n\nTrailin'\n\nYear: 1921\nCountry: U.S.\nRuntime: 56 min.\n35mm. B&W and 
 tinted. Silent.\n\nLos Angeles Premiere of New Restoration\n\nIn the early 
 decades of American cinema\, few figures loomed as large\, or rode as 
 boldly across the silver screen\, as Tom Mix. As an actor\, the former 
 frontier lawman and Wild West show performer brought genuine horsemanship 
 and the ability to do his own stunts to his film roles. He also cultivated 
 an instantly recognizable identity punctuated by a white 10-gallon 
 Stetson\, ornate costumes and a confident grin\, establishing a colorful 
 vision of the American cowboy that captivated audiences throughout the 
 1920s. This persona reflected both the mythologizing of the Old West and 
 the desires of a modern\, urban audience seeking escapism in the aftermath 
 of World War I.\n\nBased on the Max Brand novel\, the mystery-melodrama 
 Trailin’ was helmed by Mix’s favorite director\, Lynn Reynolds\, and 
 co-starred Eva Novak in one of her 10 feature film appearances opposite 
 Mix. Novak was a popular actor in her own right\, appearing in 48 films 
 from 1921 to 1928\, and reportedly learned to perform many of her own 
 stunts from Mix himself. In order to play the wealthy young hero Anthony 
 Woodbury\, Mix shed his familiar flamboyant Western regalia in favor of the 
 refined garments of an aristocrat-in-training. Dissatisfied with his 
 privileged position in life\, Anthony longs to discover the identity of his 
 mother — a secret that his father refuses to reveal. When his father is 
 killed in a mysterious duel\, Anthony embarks on a quest for justice and 
 self-discovery\, confronting danger\, intrigue and the charms of the 
 spirited Sally Fortune (Novak).\n\nAs expected\, the film performed well at 
 the box office\, and contemporary reviews were generally enthusiastic. 
 Wid’s Filmdom hailed it as “a different Tom Mix and a different Mix 
 picture\,” while Moving Picture World declared\, “Mix at his best. A 
 splendid Western that has the thrills and plenty of action.”—Steven K. 
 Hill \n\nProduction: Fox Film Corp. Director: Lynn F. Reynolds. 
 Screenwriter: Lynn F. Reynolds. Based on the novel by Max Brand. With: Tom 
 Mix\, Eva Novak\, J. Farrell MacDonald\, Sid Jordan.\n\nPreservation 
 funding provided by the National Film Preservation Foundation. Preserved by 
 the UCLA Film & Television Archive from a 35mm nitrate print. Laboratory 
 services by the PHI Stoa Film Lab.
