Acknowledged "King of Cowboys" when Ronald Reagan and John Wayne were still young (Mix made more than 160 cowboy films throughout the 1920s), Tom Mix was the Silent motion picture "Super Star" of the early twentieth century. A larger than life person throughout his personal life exploits, by the late 1920s his popularity had begun to decline. In 1929 he joined the Sells-Floto Circus as their feature attraction and stayed with them through the 1932 season, after which he made the transition into Sound films ("talkies") from 1932-1935. In 1934 Mix was with the "Sam B. Dill Motorized Circus", then purchased the show to take out his own truck show, the "Tom Mix Circus" through 1938. At its height the show was the largest and most successful circus on the road and made a number of successful tours of Europe.This advertising poster is in fine condition, the red, yellow and black inks are still clear with no seeming fading noted.
