The second of two projected John Wayne serials produced by genre expert Mascot Pictures, this film used the budget-saving device of having its master criminal wearing variously fiendish rubber masks, offering him the opportunity to resemble every red herring in the large cast. Known only as "The Wrecker" ("That's him, The Wrecker!" people ...
James Pierce is one of the lesser-known film Tarzans, partly because this picture -- his debut as an actor -- has apparently been lost, and partly because it was his only starring role. He is a fairly significant Tarzan, however, because his association with author Edgar Rice Burroughs led to a romance with Burroughs' daughter, Joan. Pierce and ...
Tom Tyler and Wally Wales, both refugees from the silent range, starred in this very low-budget oater from Poverty Row company Monarch. Tyler played an innocent victim of circumstances and Wales was the law-fighting postal inspector who mistakes him for a notorious outlaw known only as The Hawk. The real villain, however, is none other than Butch ...
Directed by the veteran J.P. McGowan, Where the West Begins was the fourth of 22 Westerns -- some with music -- starring Jack Randall (aka Addison Randall), the lesser-known brother of Robert Livingston. This time around, Randall played Jack Manning, a ranch foreman, who, when not battling a greedy neighbor (Dick Alexander), warbles such tunes as ...
Kermit Maynard, the less-popular but arguably more talented brother of cowboy star Ken Maynard, heads the cast of Roaring Six Guns. Maynard plays Buck Sinclair, whose romance with heroine Beth (Mary Hayes) is hampered by the activities of her bombastic father (Sam Flint). Beth's dad covets a patch of government range land -- the same patch also ...
The second in a series of six projected Lane Chandler westerns produced by H&H Productions, this film featured the rugged Chandler as Tex Broderick, a masked bandit wounded by Sheriff Jim Porter (J.P. McGowan) and his posse. Tex hides out at Jean Bennett's Sagebrush General Store and is nursed back to health by the pretty blonde. She is grub ...
Produced by Poverty Row company KBS (formerly Sono Art-World Wide), this above-average B-Western starred Ken Maynard as an embattled rancher who gets assistance from the Boy Scouts (Troop No. 107, Los Angeles Council), headed, in this instance, by Ken's real-life brother, Kermit Maynard. Along with pretty girl rancher Eileen Carey (Dorothy Dix) ...
Kermit Maynard, the talented brother of cowboy legend Ken Maynard, stars in this low-budget horse opera. The elementary story has Jim Langley (Maynard) and his pal Scrubby (Ralph Peters) mistaken for bandits. Adding to our hero's burden is the fact that his infant nephew has been kidanpped by the genuine miscreants. And as if that weren't enough ...
Helen Holmes, who had specialized in railroad melodramas since her days with the Kalem series The Hazards of Helen, once again found herself speeding down the tracks in The Lost Express, which had nothing to do with her 1917 serial of the same name. Helen plays Helen Martin, a young woman solving a case of kidnapping. The victims are Mrs. Arthur ...
In this romantic western, a daring masked outlaw steals the gold from a crooked mining company and uses the loot to pay the honest investors it cheated. When a lovely woman sees the hero unmasked, he kidnaps her to protect his identity. At first the damsel is enraged. But as she is the daughter of one of those the mining company cheated, she soon ...
This minor oater was the penultimate silent western starring the strapping Tom Tyler. Produced by poverty-row company Syndicate, the film came complete with a synchronized music score and sound effects but was mainly shown in rural theaters not yet wired for sound. Having fallen in love with the pretty Inez (Sheila LeGay), rustler Dave Brandon ...
Former silent teenage star Buzz Barton headlines this juvenile Western from low-rent Big 4 Film Corp. directed by the veteran J. P. McGowan. The freckled Master Barton plays Buzz Dale, a young boy who becomes a local hero after stopping a runaway stage. Buzz's heroic act, however, does not sit well with Duke Remsden (Edmund Cobb), the secret ...
Jesse J. Goldburg's small-scale Independent Pictures scooped the competition when they managed to hire such proven box-office attractions as William Desmond, Ruth Stonehouse and Robert Edeson. The result was a rousing Western melodrama starring Helen Holmes (of Hazards of Helen fame) as the daughter of a beleaguered railroad president. When the ...
