Date Sold 4/19/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 3 1935 Re-Release (re-titled "Trail of the Royal Mounted" for this re-release) Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Mystery Trooper, the 1931 Stuart Paton, Harry S. Webb Royal Canadian Mounted Police Mountie cowboy western serial starring Buzz Barton, Robert Frazer, Blanche Mehaffey, Al Furgeson, Charles King, William Von Brencken (billed as "Red Eagle"), and White Cloud (billed as "'White Cloud' The Wonder Horse"). Note that Buzz Barton was born William Lamoreaux, but at the age of 12, he played a small role in a B-western, billed as "Billy Lamar". Over the next two years, he appeared in a total of nine B-westerns, being billed under various names. Apparently, he was quite a horseman, and in 1927, he starred in "The Boy Rider" as a youthful western hero, and he was billed as "Buzz Barton". This proved to be a very popular movie, and over the next two years, he appeared in around a dozen similar movies, as the "World's Greatest Juvenile Western Star", always playing David "Red" Hepner (because of Barton's red hair). Over the next few years, he continued making B-westerns, playing various characters, but becoming an adult hurt his career, and he was reduced to playing uncredited parts in scores of B-westerns in the late 1930s. He left the movies in 1942, when he enlisted in the Navy (even though he only grew to 5'2" as an adult). Note that first release movie paper from this forgotten serial is beyond rare! The movie was re-released in 1935 as "Trail of the Royal Mounted", and we have had a few items from the re-release, but never anything from the first release.
