The descendants of the Covered Wagon folks continue their adventures in the West. This time they're bringing wild horses into the corral. In spite of its childish simplicity of story, it has a sweep and excitement that holds your interest. Beautiful scenery helps a lot. Jack Holt is a swell hero, and Noah Beery is there with a mean leer. And Billie Dove is easy to look at.

I had a fine time at "Wild Horse Mesa." Wild horses seem to have taken the place of the covered wagons. The only thing left for next year is to get a wild horse in a covered wagon, or train it to pull one. They seem as plentiful as the "Elsie" books.

This time we have the horses in Arizona with some superb scenery and plenty of thrills. The story is about the attempted capture of the herd, with all the Indians , horse thieves, and romance that would naturally follow.

Jack Holt is in it, and he is a superb rider. Seeing him mount and dismount en route is as much fun as anything I know. Billie Dove is the girl, chased, but not caught, by Noah Beery and a company of wild horses.

This is a splendid Western melodrama with a fine cast. There is a lovely grandmother in it, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., is fine as the lovesick young brother.
