An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" (8x10) Movie Still (Learn More) The Riding Avenger, the 1936 Harry L. Fraser cowboy western starring Hoot Gibson ("In Another BIG-THRILL Western..."), Ruth Mix (daughter of Tom Mix, who appeared in around a dozen movies, starting as a teenager), Buzz Barton, June Gale and Stanley Blystone. 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: Click on linked names to see a biography.
