Charming. Rode in First Western VETERAN OF 1,600 MOVIES APPEARS AT LEON THEATER Forty years' a a young fellow was hanging around the corral on what is now Hollywood Boulevard, trying to make up his mind whether to go to Alaska or Panama. One of the corral caretakers told him that a fellow by the name of Griffith had rented some horses to "some kind of a picture." Young Tom London was glad to get a chance to get back in the saddle and offered to deliver one of the horses. And because of that offer, Tom London was a cowboy in the first western ever made in tlon picture industry--Ib turned out to be the "Great Train Robbery" made by the late master, W. Griffith.

In the 40 years since then, Tom London has played In 1,600 moving pictures--a record unequaled In the business. Tom London, now 69 years old but in what he calls top condition, was in Amarillo Monday to appear on the stage of the Leon Theater In connection with screening one of his recent pictures with cowboy star Monte Hale. The veteran western actor looks like the time-honored conception of western sheriff. And-he should, in more than half of the pictures in which he has played, he has taken the part of the sheriff. He Is so well known among funs of western movies that everywhere he goes he Is made an honorary sheriff or deputy.

Sheriff Bill Adams Monday was aiT honorary deputy com- mission for the actor. Tom will be remembered for his recent part in "Marshal cf Amarillo." that played at the Capitol Theater. He played his customary sheriff role in that while star Rocky Lane had the title vole. It Is the veteran's boast that he has worked with every western star who ever pulled on a hoot. He thinks Tom Mix, Ken (Maj- tmril.

Hoot Gibson imrt Duck Jones were the greatest of all the western stars. "They were the real cowboys." Tom said. However, he was not depreciating the. work of the popular singing cowboys, such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, both of whom he works with. "They aren't just have a different job to do to the ones the old timers had." Rains in Midwest CHICAGO, Sept.
