Hoot Gibson Likes Speed -- August 10, 2024

Photoplay, August, 1924

I always enjoy Hoot Gibson movies. He added a lot of comedy to his films. Here we see him standing in front of his Beverly Hills mansion in his "specially built eight-cylinder roadster." And look at those shoes.

Old Hoot played a cowboy baseball player in Hit and Run. Eddie Sedgwick directed.

Fred Thomson (no relation) had a diverse career. While attending the Princeton Theological Seminary, he earned the Amateur Athletic Union's All-Around Champion trophy in 1910, 1911 and 1913. After being ordained as a Presbyterian minister, he joined the Army and served as a chaplain during World War One. He went into the movie business after he married director and screenwriter Frances Marion. In time, he became a major western star. Sadly, he died of Tetanus in 1928.


I have never heard of Cuba Coolidge
