 THE LAW OF THE WILD (Mascot, 1934), 12 chapters, was directed by Armand Schaefer and B. Reeves "Breezy" Eason. Rex (the black hoss) and Rin-Tin-Tin Jr. (the dog) got top billing, probably because they had more drawing power than Custer. In the top lobby card, Custer is persuading Edmund Cobb, and in the bottom lobby, he's pounding perpetual baddie Dick Cramer.   Custer's last hurrah as a B western hero was at Reliable Pictures in the mid 1930s. At Reliable, he was billed ahead of Rinty Jr. in VENGEANCE OF RANNAH (Reliable, 1936).
