SILENT COWBOY DAY

Yippee-i-o-ki-ay! On this day in 1880, America’s greatest silent-film cowboy star, Tom Mix, was born!

How did the former Texas Ranger and rodeo star become a movie star? Easy -- at least for Tom Mix. He just walked on, rather he rode on to the set of Ranch Life in the Great Southwest. The year was 1909. Mix was just riding along somewhere in Oklahoma when he spotted the Selig Company film crew. The next thing he knew, he was roping a steer on camera.

We could say he was roped into his film career. The Fox Film Corporation signed him as their feature star along with Theda Bara in 1915. By 1923, Mix was in the top 10 of highest paid film stars; with Mix and his horse, Tony, earning $4,000 a week.

Disappointed moviegoers heard that their box-office favorite was a pretty poor cowboy. He had doubles to do his stunts or often faked them and he had accidentally shot himself. (A decade later, Mix admitted that his wife had shot him. She accused him of spousal abuse.) None of this hurt his career. Sixteen years after his first walk-on, Tom Mix became the highest paid movie star to that time. (Fox resigned him at $20,000 a week.) In 1932, Tony retired leaving Mix horseless.

Eight years later, the silent-film great was killed in an accident in a horseless carriage ending the era of the silent-film cowboy.

Events January 6

1838 - The telegraph was demonstrated for the first time in public at the Speedwell Iron Works in Morristown, New Jersey. The person demonstrating the new invention, the telegraph’s inventor was, of course, Samuel F.B. Morse. It was another six years before Sam could figure out how to say, “What hath God wrought!” in dots and dashes.

1896 - The first American women’s six-day bicycle race was held at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Imagine riding around and around the Garden for six days!

1912 - The Land of Enchantment, the territory acquired by the U.S. as a result of the Mexican War, entered the United States of America this day as New Mexico, the 47th state. New Mexico is also referred to as the Sunshine State, but that irritates the residents of the Sunshine State of Florida, so we'll stick to the Land of Enchantment. Santa Fe, the oldest city in New Mexico, is also the state capital and has been the capital of the area since 1610. The state Bird is the roadrunner, not the cartoon, but the real thing. New Mexico has a multitude of state symbols including its own fossil: coelophysis, plus the state flower: yucca; tree: pinon; animal: black bear; vegetables: chili and frijol; gem: turquoise; and insect: tarantula hawk wasp. The state motto is in latin: Crescit eundo, which translates to “It grows as it goes.”

1930 - The first diesel-engine automobile trip was completed this day. It ran 792 miles -- from Indianapolis, IN to New York City. This was a pretty long trip, right? It would cost quite a bit just in fuel and oil for the car, right? Wrong. The total cost of the run was $1.38.

1938 - Trummy Young played trombone and sang with the Jimmy Lunceford Orchestra in New York City as Margie became Decca record number 1617.

1941 - Alice Marble made her professional tennis debut by defeating Ruth Hardwick of Great Britain at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

1946 - Ho Chi Minh won election as president of North Vietnam.

1950 - Ronald Coleman starred as the president of Ivy College in the radio presentation, The Halls of Ivy.

1964 - England and France agreed to build a rail tunnel under the English Channel. Construction did not begin, however, until late 1987. Even then, the project took more than five years to complete.

1966 - Duke Ellington’s concert of sacred music, recorded at 5th Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, was broadcast on CBS-TV.

1968 - Dr. Norman E. Shumway performed the first heart transplant on an adult patient in the U.S. at Stanford University Hospital.

Barnard used techniques developed by Shumway at Stanford.

1971 - Berkeley chemists announced the first synthetic production of growth hormones.

1975 - ABC-TV joined the early morning news and information race as A.M. America debuted. Bill Beutel, long time WABC-TV news anchor (with Roger Grimsby), teamed up with Stephanie Edwards from LA. The show lasted ten months. ABC then introduced David Hartman in Good Morning America, which has given NBC’s Today show a solid run for the money for two decades.

1979 - Barbra Streisand’s Greatest Hits, Volume 2 was the #1 album in the U.S. The album was at the top of the charts for three weeks with these greatest hits: Love Theme From 'A Star Is Born' (Evergreen}, Love Theme From 'Eyes of Laura Mars' (Prisoner}, My Heart Belongs to Me, Songbird, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, The Way We Were, Sweet Inspiration/Where You Lead, All in Love is Fair, Superman, and Stoney End.

1980 - The Pittsburgh Steelers advanced to their fourth Super Bowl since 1974 by eliminating the Houston Oilers 27-13 in the AFC title game.

1984 - Texaco Oil announced a bid to take over Getty Oil for an estimated $9.9 billion. The offer topped the previous record takeover bid by the DuPont Company for Conoco Oil in 1981 ($7.8 billion). 440 International recently turned down a $16.2 billion takeover bid by Acme Banana. They wanted to change this feature to Those Were the Peels and we thought that would be a big slip-up (argh! stop! ok...)

1985 - Dan Marino passed for a record 421 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Miami Dolphins to a 45-28 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC championship game. And the San Francisco 49ers were all over the Chicago Bears 23-0 in the NFC title game. (The 49ers defeated the Dolphins 38-16 in Super Bowl XIX on January 20.)

He has been credited with being a co-founder (w/Charlie Parker) of ‘bebop’ music and wrote many jazz numbers (Salt Peanuts, Night in Tunisia). Gillespie also created the ‘afro-cuban’ sound in jazz music. A few of the disciples who preached Dizzy’s gospel of bebop were Thelonious Monk, Earl ‘Bud’ Powell, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.

1993 - Jim and Jennifer Stolpa were stranded by a blizzard on a desolate Nevada road with their five-month-old son, Clayton. Jennifer huddled in a tiny cliffside cave with Clayton while Jim trudged 48 miles through hip-deep snow to find help. Jennifer, who, like Jim, lost all her toes to frostbite as a result of the ordeal, says, “I can’t wear heels, I can’t wear sandals. I have to wear tennis shoes all the time. It kind of sucks.” Says Jim, “We really miss our toes.”

1994 - Nancy Kerrigan, a favorite to win the women’s U.S. Figure Skating Championship, was assaulted after she finished a practice session in Detroit. The assailant used a blunt object to strike the skater on the right knee, although she recovered in time to compete in the Olympics. Four men, including Jeff Gillooly, the ex-husband of Kerrigan’s rival, Tonya Harding, were later sentenced to prison for their roles in the attack; Harding, who denied advance knowledge of the attack, received probation after pleading guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution.

2002 - Construction began to expand Camp X-Ray at the U.S. Guantanamo base in Cuba. The camp would house detainees from Afghanistan; the first prisoners arrived Jan 11.
