Hill was married to Perrin and they had a daughter, but divorced in the mid 1930s. Perrin did remarry sometime after WW2.  Above lobby card is from one of the earliest of the western talkies, THE APACHE KID'S ESCAPE (Robert J. Horner, 1930), and in the photo inset are Perrin and Starlight. Perrin had to sue Horner to get his contracted salary for this film and several others - see the October 24, 1932 news clipping below..  October 24, 1932  (Courtesy of Les Adams) Above are Ethan Laidlaw and Perrin in a lobby card for RAINBOW RIDERS (Reliable, 1934), one of the Bud 'n' Ben featurettes/shorts which co-starred rotund Benny Corbett (photo inset, upper left). Standing between Laidlaw and Perrin is Mack V. Wright. In addition to some acting jobs, Wright spent time behind the camera as the director of oaters such as the Three Mesquiteers' in ROARIN' LEAD and RIDERS OF THE WHISTLING SKULL, and co-director/assistant director/second unit director of THE VIGILANTES ARE COMING and THE GREAT ADVENTURES OF WILD BILL HICKOK serials, several of the Rough Riders films, and more.
