The main office have called for more of his Westerns. He has just finished "The Golden Princess Mine," with Eddie Lyons and Ramona Langley in the leads, and with Lee Moran as the heavy. There is a tense situation when Lee is imprisoned in the mine by an Indian whom he has tried to double-cross, and who starts a rock slide which fills the face of the cave. For the benefit of a charitable institution, the Lubin cowboys of Betzwood gave an exhibition of Western riding at the Jefferson Riding Park on Saturday, October 4th. The riders were Harry K.
