Tuesday, September 18, 1928

Helen said she would come. In the afternoon I went and got my hat. Its not so hot! At 5:30 we went to the Elks to a movie. It was Tom Mix. If I had known what it was going to be I certainly would have gone swimming instead. Helen came in too and she was just as disgusted.

Jane's Notes: Thomas Edwin "Tom" Mix (born Thomas Hezikiah Mix;[1] January 6, 1880 – October 12, 1940) was an American film actor and the star of many early Western movies. He made a reported 336 films between 1910 and 1935, all but nine of which were silent features. He was Hollywood’s first Western megastar and is noted as having helped define the genre for all cowboy actors who followed. I wonder why Mom didn't like him. Maybe she just didn't like Westerns.

On This Day In History: Juan de la Cierva makes 1st autogiro flight over English Channel.
