Tom Mix's Fox features

[golgo13ka]

How many of Tom Mix's features made by Fox survive today?

I've seen SKY HIGH and THE GREAT K&A ROBBERY.

Are there any others?

What is the difference between the two versions?

Do you know which one the Museum of Modern Art
offers for rental in 16mm?

MoMA has the 1925 reissue version. I have not compared them side by
side in a sync block but from what I can tell the only thing different are
the main and sub-titles (and obviously the frames missing at each spice where
the new titles are cut in. If I recall, Julian Johnston gets credit for the
new titles, althogh again I don't recall much diffrence in the text, merely
in the typeface and design,

The 1922 prints have the hand-cut freehand type face of so many early to
mid 1920's Fox films, and also has the Fox "corral" border. The 1929 has no
border and uses the ubiquitous Pastel typeface familiar to all who love
silent movies.

LOC has the 1922 version, if I recall. There are collectors prints
around on both versions.
