A GLIMPSE OF THE WEST AS IT WAS
AFFORDED IN TEMPLE'S SENSATIONAL
HEADLINE ACT ON THE WEEK-END BILL

The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, 27 Mar 1914


A true picture of the west as it was, painted in miniature by a master artist, Miss Lucille Mulhall, a dare devil woman rider and lariat thrower and a true daughter of the frontier of fiction, who with her sister, Miss Georgia Mulhall, and four cowboys, is featuring the sensational headline act on the Temple's week-end bill, 1st the thrilling offering that stirred the blood of three big houses at the Temple yesterday. The act is a wild west show trimmed down to meet the exigencies of a vaudeville stage but during the course fo the action Miss Mulhall does about everything worth while that you could see in a pretentious tent show. She throws a lariat, lassoing a long horn steer, a rider and her horse and does some fancy trick riding that borders on the sensational, while the cowboys pick off some stunts that fairly make one's hair stand on end.

"I'm holding his ears so he can't hear Jack get on," the comedian of the act announces while one of the bucking bronchos is being fitted to a saddle. Of all the high, wide and fancy kicking, rearing and bucking you ever saw a horse do that broncho does and then some, but Charles Mulhall sticks to his back like he had grown there. Despite the restrictions of a vaudeville stage the riders do some great stunts while the lariat throwing is highly entertaining. The act is cleverly arranged and judging by the storms of applause that greeted it yesterday it's no wonder it made good on the Keith big time circuit

MISS MULHALL OF TEMPLE BILL INVITES RIDING CLUB
TO INSPECT HORSES

"That's fine. That's great. I should like to meet the young women and talk horses and saddles with them." Miss Lucille Mulhall whose riding is featuring the Temple's crack headline act on the current bill said when informed that a number of young women had last night laid tentative plans for forming a riding club here. Mrs. A. G. Emrick, Mrs. Schick, Mrs. Hesse and others who are interested in the formation of the club have been invited by Miss Mulhall to visit her on the stage, inspect her horses and saddles and talk horse with her.

I should be very glad to see the women and would be ticked to death to talk horse with them. By demonstrating my points with my own high schooled horse, the big grey I use in my act, I possibly could make very plain a number of points that the average horsewoman knows nothing about. I have had great success in instructing women in the art of riding, for it is an art, and the members of the organization to which you rfer or any one else for that matter may feel perfectly free to come and see me any time for advice about riding, the buying of the right sort of saddles, etc. I have one of my best saddles on exhibition in the lobby of the theatre and men and women interested in horses should examine it, as it really is a great saddle."
