 (Courtesy of Ed Tabor) In the late 1920s, FBO's stable of cowboy heroes included Tom Tyler, Bob Steele, Buzz Barton, a short visit from Tom Mix ... and Bob Custer. The lobby cards above and below are from two of Custer's silents. These were produced by Jesse J. Goldburg's Independent Pictures company and released by FBO.  (Courtesy of Ed Tabor) Hans Wollstein was able to ID the other players in the above lobby card as Ralph McCullough (far left), who played heroine Mary Beth Milford's brother, and Dorothy Ponedel (far right), who played 'Little Wolf'.

Below is a close-up of Dorothy and Bob.   (Courtesy of Les Adams) Bob Custer is on the right and a very young Hank Bell is on the left in this lobby card from THE LAST ROUNDUP (Syndicate, 1929). |
