 Guy wearing the vest and drawing his six-shooter is William Gould. According to the cast list and plot synopsis shown further down this webpage, Gould played a sheriff.
 Still code "Mort 7-21" in the bottom right corner of the above photo.
Other than William Gould, the other players are unidentified.
 And we have an answer from author and researcher Merrill McCord:
The mystery film is Buck Jones' THE DESERT OUTLAW (Fox Film Corp., 1924). You are right about Gould. My first clue was that the still code "Mort 7-21" was the exact format Fox Film was using at the time. I immediately checked the index of my book on Fox Film, found the name of Edmund Mortimer, determined he was a 1923-1925 Fox Film director, and started perusing all of Fox Films during that period. I eventually came to the above Buck Jones film that was Mortimer's seventh production at Fox Film. To confirm the film's identity beyond doubt, I found the exact still code on your image on pages 128 and 129 of Buck Rainey's book on Buck Jones' silent era.
 The above lobby card was found via a Google search. There's Buck Jones and on the ground is William Gould attending an unidentified guy. Note Gould's uniform - same hat, vest, and gunbelt that he's wearing in the top photo.

 Is the guy on the right side of the top photo William Haines? Compare his face with a 1924 photo of William Haines shown on the left. |
