...unimportant. What comes out is an all-time high in gridiron mirth and a musical that ranks with the season's best. For the radio celebrities, revolving stages and philharmonic orchestras that are current cinemusical trappings, Producer Darryl F. Zanuck has substituted a story that prances like a mustang, half-a-dozen songs with hit possibilities, a cast of capable young troupers who perform their functions with a contagious enjoyment...

"Riding the Mustang Trail," the narrative of a four-hundred-mile "trail drive" of a large herd of wild mustangs from the Mescalero country of New Mexico to a shipping point in Cimarron County, Oklahoma, is a saga proving beyond all doubt that there still is a West, in the realest sense of the term, that it is still full of pitfalls, even...
Smoky (Fox Film), based on the best-selling romance by Cowboy Artist-Author Will James, traces a mustang's career in sentimental detail.

King Ranch. Congressman Kleberg's election delighted Democrats of the 15th district no less than it did those of his own 14th. It meant the Speakership for their "Mustang Jack" Garner. Besides, the Kleberg family are part owners of the immense King Ranch, largest single one in the U. S., which sprawls across 1,250,000 acres of Southeastern Texas and overflows into the Garner district. In 1925 Henrietta King, widow of Richard King, founder of this rural empire, died at the age of 90, tied her $25,000,000 property up in trust for ten years. A King...
