The Opinion
The Most Unusual Actor Seen In a Long Time
Here is something different, a picture that no exhibitor in the business can afford to pass up. “King of Wild Horses” is different from any other picture of its kind that has been shown, and is remarkably convincing. In the realm of wild horses a black and white fight desperately in the open plains for possession of a herd of wild mares, the black winning, the white galloping away into oblivion. The most thrilling part of the story after the game of hide and seek played by the man trying to capture the black, and the spiirted animal who rushes madly up the mountain, and into the most difficult places among the rocks at the summit, is the rescue of the horse by the man when a forest fire surrounds them. Rex, the black horse, is all but human. In this respect he is in the same class with the wonder dog “Strongheart.” There are thrills a plenty in the picture and a nicely interwoven theme in which the horse and his master uncover a cattle rustling scheme. An excellent cast plays the picture.
