As best we can determine, this photo of Jack Randall was taken in Houston, TX, during a personal appearance in the late '30s. The other two fellows in the photo signed it and put a Houston address in the margin below the photo, possibly hoping Randall could get them into his pictures. Best guess is they are members of a Houston music group as both have on identical bandanas. Fellow on the left signed "Bob Slacy" (or could be Stacy if he forgot to cross his T). Man on the right signed his picture George Christie. Author Merrill McCord who wrote the definitive book on Randall and his brother Bob Livingston, BROTHERS OF THE WEST, tells us he knows Randall sang at his personal appearances, so chances are he used local western musicians to accompany him.

(L-R) J. W. Eaves, western writer Max Evans and Santa Fe, NM, independent producer Fred Patton as they began work in June 1968 for the first western movie street on the Eaves Ranch near Santa Fe. Several TV series and movies had already been shot on the ranch before the townsite was constructed for "Cheyenne Social Club" ('69).

Uncredited B-western bit player Harry "Rube" Dalroy, also known as the Mayor of Gower Gulch, as he chalks up another mayoral victory on April 11, 1952. Dalroy, who was in his early 70s when this photo was taken, appeared in over 110 westerns from 1923 through 1952. Usually seen as a barfly or background townsman, his last appearance seems to be in Bill Elliott's "Waco" ('52). Gower Gulch, of course, was the popular gathering spot for Hollywood's Poverty Row cowboys.

What a day this must have been in Mangum, OK, in August 1948! RKO's Tim Holt was in Mangum for a rodeo and parade and stopped off at not just one, but two, theatres both showing "Guns of Hate" ('48). Top photo shows Tim at the Temple Theatre with the bottom photo taken at the Greer Theatre the same day. (Photos courtesy Billy Holcomb.)

Rare photo of bit player Tex Cooper and Tom Mix. Probably taken in the early '20s although the "Taken" date on the right of the photo seems to read 4-10-1, which makes no sense. (Photo submitted by Bobby Copeland.)

Actress Jan Shepard (in shorts) represented Union Pacific Railroad as Miss Union Pacific for two years, circa '52-'54. She did all advertising for Union Pacific during that time. Her husband-to-be, Dick London is standing on top of the train, to the right. London played Morgan Earp on Hugh O'Brian's "Wyatt Earp" TV series.

1946 photo of Eleanor Roosevelt with the Goldwyn Girls during a publicity tour for the movie "The Kid From Brooklyn". B-western actress Virginia Belmont is in the back center, hat on, directly behind Mrs. Roosevelt. The only other ID'd girl is Shirley Ballard at the bottom left. Can anyone ID any of the other ladies? Belmont co-starred in B-westerns with Johnny Mack Brown, Jimmy Wakely, Hopalong Cassidy and in the serial "Dangers of the Canadian Mounted" ('48).
