Al Jennings

In his film debut, Ritter is sent to investigate miners being killed, and their mines confiscated. The culprit is Evans; and after Tex joins the gang, he is sent to kill two more miners. When Esteban is killed, Tex is put on trial for all three murders.

(1930, Tiffany) Bob Steele, Al St. John, Caryl Lincoln. Bob and Al drift into a lonely tavern and find everyone dead or dying from an attack by bandits. One of the dying men tells of a plot against his daughter. Soon Bob and Al are headed for the high desert badlands, trailing the killers. Some great facial close-ups are complemented by breath-taking longshots of the Vasquez Rocks area. Bob (with a week's whiskers on his face) really looks like a tough, steel-nerved cowboy. It may be an early talkie, but this gritty western has lots going for it. From 16mm.
