You'll find a bit more info on Reynolds in the 'Saddle Pals & Sidekicks + the Kids' section on the Old Corral. |

![]() (From Old Corral image collection) Above from L-to-R are Joe De La Cruz (1892-1961), Jayne Regan, Jack Perrin, Slim Whitaker and Tom London in THE CACTUS KID (Reliable, 1935). ![]() (From Old Corral image collection) Far left background are Kit Guard and Gordon DeMain. Around the table are George Morrell, unidentified player, Perrin, Joe de la Cruz. Behind the table are Fred Humes (blue jacket ) wearing out Slim Whitaker. Joe De La Cruz (1892-1961) specialized in playing Indians, natives and Mexicans in a movie career that lasted about twenty years, from about 1922-1942. There's no biographical information on him, and am unsure if he was Mexican or Native American. If you'd like to see some good face shots of a near fifty year old De La Cruz, go the saloon gunfight near the end of Chapter 1 of THE ADVENTURES OF RED RYDER (Republic, 1940). De La Cruz (portraying the "Apache Kid") gets shot by Don Barry. |
