 | 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. |
 Crop from the below photo of Dick Botiller wearing his unique and easily recognized hat. |  (Courtesy of Les Adams) Above from L-to-R are Don Barry, Dick Botiller (heavier and without his moustache), and Edmund Cobb in a scene from WYOMING WILDCAT (Republic, 1941). |
 (Courtesy of Jack Jones) From L-to-R are Jack Jones, Jack's wife Katharine 'Kitty' Jones, a moustached 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.)  (From Old Corral image collection) Above from L-to-R are Reb Russell, Yvonne Pelletier, Fred Kohler, and Botiller in LIGHTNING TRIGGERS (1935), Reb's last film. |
Carl Sepulveda in at least 48 westerns and 8 serials  (Courtesy of Les Adams) Above from L-to-R are Glenn Strange (as Cole Younger), Forrest Dillon (as Bob Younger), Don Barry (as Jesse James), Carl Sepulveda (as Jim Younger), and Harry Worth (as Frank James) in DAYS OF JESSE JAMES (Republic, 1939), which starred Roy Rogers. In this film, Harry Worth was billed as Michael Worth. |
 (Courtesy of Les Adams) Above from L-to-R are Archie Twitchell, Frank LaRue and Francis Walker in a scene from PRAIRIE STRANGER (Columbia, 1941), which starred Charles Starrett. Francis Walker (Frank Walker) appeared in at least 76 westerns and 3 serials Archie Raymond Twitchell aka Michael Brandan/Brandon/Branden 1906-1957 appeared in at least 18 westerns and 2 serials Died in an airplane crash One of Twitchell's best roles (credited as Michael Branden) --- and he had a bunch of scenes and dialog before getting shot at the end --- is as the "moustached and slick gangster on the dude ranch" in the Gene Autry ROBIN HOOD OF TEXAS (Republic, 1947). You may want to go to the In Search Of ... page on the Old Corral and check the California Death Records database and the Social Security Death Index (SSDI). The California database has a record for Archie Raymond Twitchell, born 11/28/1906 in Oregon, and he passed away on 1/31/1957. I could find no match in the SSDI. However, there is a record for an Archie Twitchell, born 15 May 1909 in Wyoming, and he passed away on September 1972. Perhaps this is Twitchell's father. Jim Tipton's Find A Grave site has a photo of the marker for U.S. Air Corps Captain Archie Twitchell at the Pierce Brothers Valhalla Memorial Park in North Hollywood: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=10115 Twitchell worked for Douglas Aircraft and was the co-pilot on a test flight of a Douglas DC-7B airplane. He was killed in a mid-air collision with an Air Force fighter plane on January 31, 1957. The Time Magazine website has an article on the test flight and crash: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,809030,00.html |
