Unkempt, rough and tough looking members of the gang (or lynch mob, or vigilantes, or posse or cow herders) who had minimal or no dialog.  They are generally not listed in the film credits.  We tend to recognize some of their faces, but have no clue as to their real names.

Jack Jones Real name: Ferris John Jones 1906 - 1995 Special thanks to Jack Lawrence Jones, and his son, Scott L. Jones, for sharing information and photos of their father and grandfather, respectively. Jack Jones was born on March 5, 1906 in Bingham Canyon (City), Utah, and passed away on May 26th, 1995 in Glendora, California.  He was a member of various singing groups, including the Arizona Wranglers and Range Riders, and also did stunt/doubling work in late 1920s silents and early 1930s talkies.  His movie career ended when he suffered a severe leg injury during the filming of a wagon chase in THE DAWN RIDER (Lone Star/Monogram, 1935), which starred John Wayne.  Apparently, Jones also did some hero duty in an early sound western or two for Roundup Pictures around 1929, and the leading lady was Karla Cowan. The film titles may have been SADDLE AND SPURS and/or CODE OF THE PLAINS.  A 35mm film clip from one of those films is below, left.  Les Adams has Jones identified in a couple of dozen westerns ... but there are a lot more since Jones did stunting and doubling.

Charles 'Chuck' Baldra 1889-1949 appeared in at least 95 westerns and 2 serials. Baldra was also a member of various singing groups, including the Arizona Wranglers and Range Riders.

(Courtesy of Jack Jones) From L-to-R are Jack Jones, Jack's wife Katharine 'Kitty' Jones, Dick Botiller, John McGuire and Chuck Baldra in a staged publicity still from a Reb Russell oater, possibly OUTLAW RULE (Willis Kent, 1935). Kitty wasn't the heroine --- she subbed for the leading lady who couldn't make the photo shoot. (If this still is related to OUTLAW RULE, the heroine would be Betty Mack.) (Courtesy of Jack Jones) Ken Maynard with from L-to-R, Johnny (Arkansas Johnny) Luther, Chuck Baldra, Al Haskell and Jack Jones on the banjo (and wearing his butterfly boots) in a melodic publicity still for HONOR OF THE RANGE (Universal, 1934).
