The Cowboy Millionaire (1909) Online

Bud Noble, a handsome specimen of manhood, is foreman on the Circle "D" ranch outside of Circle City, Idaho, and our opening scene pictures Bud as the cowboy roping and tying a steer. With its bucking bronchos, pitching mustangs, bucking steers, and the biggest novelty ever, the acme of all thrillers, "see Bud bulldog a steer." Only three men have successfully accomplished this feat and lived to tell about it. Then Bud receives a shock. The local operator appears with a telegram. "Your Uncle John dead. You are sole heir to his estate valued at several millions. Come to Chicago at once." The astounded cowboys tumble over with sheer amazement. Bud buys and the scene closes with a characteristic rush for the bar. "One year later" Bud tires of society. We see Bud and his new wife entertaining and our cowboy shows plainly that he is desperately weary of the effete East, then Bud goes to the club and the men he meets there and their conversation is getting on his nerves. "After the theater"...

My Great Uncle, ARTHUR ARLO LONG, Nickname: "Pat", 1883-1968, was the first white person to bulldog a steer in the movies and he did it in a motion picture filmed in Chicago, IL. in 1909. The silent movie was "The Millionaire Cowboy" staring Tom Mix. It is said he (Pat) saved a woman on a run away horse in that same movie. Pat also toured with W. A. Dickey's Circle D Ranch Wild West Show and it is said he learned to bulldog steers from Bill Picket a black man who bulldogged the first steer.

Tom Mix was born in 1880 in Pennsylvania and he served in the Spanish-American War. He eventually moved to Guthrie, Oklahoma. Later, after trying his hand as a bartender, he worked as a hand with Zack Mullhall's 101 Ranch. While working at the 101 he began his movie career. This is probably where he met Pat Long. Pat was a working cowboy on many of the large ranches in Osage, Rogers and Washington County,Oklahoma, serving as foreman as he gained experience. Pat also appeared in the movie "Boar War". After his short movie career he went back to "punching" cows.

For a short time, around 1911, Thomas E. Mix served as Marshall in Dewey, Oklahoma, which is the site of the Tom Mix Museum. It houses items from his personal collection. His movie career spanned 26 years - from 1909 through 1935. He made 336 feature films, produced 88, wrote 71 and directed 117. Tom made only 9 sound feature films.

Tom Mix died in a car accident in 1940 between Tuscon and Florence, Arizona. Pat's last years were spent at Callie Flannagan's boarding house in Claremore, Oklahoma; he died in 1968.

If a good cowboy picture is wanted, Selig is the one to produce it. His company can make a cowboy play seem like the real thing, and this film is no exception. The cowboy who becomes a millionaire is a novelty which will prove attractive, because it is out of the ordinary. His life in his luxurious city surroundings palls on him. and for the fun of it he sends for the whole outfit from Circle D ranch, and when they arrive the fun begins. It is rough-house, but is picturesque, filled with vigorous action, and therefore pleasing to a majority of the audiences. The fortunate man sees the comparison and loses his longing for the old life of the plains and the bucking bronchos. - The Moving Picture World, November 6, 1909
