Jack Hoxie's SOUND Westerns Special thanks to Les Adams for providing this filmography

The initial years of the sound B-western was a shakeout period.  Republic Pictures would not be formed until 1935.  Major studios were spending money and doing solid productions, and during the early 1930s, Columbia had Tim McCoy and Buck Jones while Universal's range riders included Tom Mix and Ken Maynard.  Smaller companies like Monogram utilized Bob Steele, Rex Bell, Bill Cody, Tom Tyler and John Wayne.  There were a bunch of small, independent outfits churning out very low budget oaters for the states rights market, and during this period, many of the stars of silent westerns had a brief fling as heroes in sound adventures.  Included were Wally Wales, Buffalo Bill, Jr., Bob Custer ... and Jack Hoxie doing the half dozen 1932-1933 sound oaters for Majestic Pictures.

(From Old Corral collection)		Jack Hoxie's Horses
Above - Jack Hoxie is atop the white charger 'Dynamite, the Wonder Horse' (which may have been his trusty hoss 'Scout' renamed as Dynamite) in a still from GOLD (Majestic, 1932). See the lobby card from GOLD below. During his silent starring days, Hoxie rode a variety of horses including a paint and several white horses named 'Scout' and 'White Fury'. In his six Majestic sound oaters, Hoxie used at least three different cayuses. In GOLD (Majestic, 1932), the white horse has few markings and ye Old Corral webmaster has not identified the animal (this may be Hoxie's Scout). In LAW AND LAWLESS (Majestic, 1932), Jack rides the "white horse with a mottled face and many names" which I believe came from the Fat Jones stables. And in TROUBLE BUSTERS (Majestic, 1933), he rides Jack Perrin's 'Starlight'. You'll find more on both horses in the Trusty Steeds/Movie Horse section on the Old Corral. (Courtesy of Les Adams)
