Lafe McKee began working in Hollywood around 1913. He usually played the likeable father of the heroine, the distressed businessman, or the ranch owner on the verge of losing his homestead or cattle to the villains. The majority of his films were westerns and he supported such actors as Gary Cooper, John Wayne, Gene Autry, Tim McCoy, Tom Tyler, and others.- Jack Clifford (born John Clifford Cooley in 1888) had what one might call a "challenged childhood." He was in two orphanages, and seven foster homes from New York to Texas. Despite the early obstacles he became an American "headliner" (Orpheum Circuit) vaudeville performer, who was evidently pretty good. Part of his act was as a "rube," hard of hearing country bumpkin who created punch lines from misunderstood words, acted in skits, and sang. Rube became his nick name and in some cases his credited name. Shortly after his act included his then wife Miriam Wills. He started in about 1913, and in addition to his vaudeville acting, he began a successful movie career in Cecil B. DeMille's The Squaw Man (1914). For the next 40 years in addition to vaudeville and movies, he starred in the 1930 radio series KFWB Hi-Jinks As a hard of hearing Sheriff with such notables as Cliff Arquette, Billy Nelson, and Johnny Murray In the 30's "The Sheriff" toured California as a Representative for Gilmore Oil (Now Mobil Oil) also appearing at the Pomona Fair. The majority of movie appearances were just bit parts with the few notable exceptions. The exceptions were Dimples (1936) as Uncle Tom, a full length part with Bob Steel in The Sunrise Trail (1931), the part of Dog catcher Nubbins in Skippy (1931), The Lone Ranger (1949) series in 1949 and 1955, and 45 Minutes from Hollywood (1926) with Glenn Tryon. Keith Scott attributes the origin of the character "Foghorn Leghorn" to Clifford. Toward the end of his career when gigs began to dry up, his agent moved to Palm Springs. He retired to Temple City, California with His Wife Virginia (Meldrum) Clifford and died in 1974.
- Allene Ray made her reputation as a star of action serials in the '20s, and she had the background for it. She was born and raised on a ranch outside of San Antonio, Texas, and could not only ride horses at an early age, but learned to tame bucking broncs, a very unusual thing to do for women in those times. A local theatrical impresario discovered that Allene could also sing and dance well, and she was offered a part in his productions. It was while appearing in them in 1919 that a western actor and writer, Tex O'Reilly, who was shooting two-reel westerns in San Antonio, spotted her, and she was soon appearing with him in those films. The next year she traveled to New York where she was contracted to make one film, but stayed there for several more. By 1924 she was making serials for Pathe, where she found her niche. Her natural athletic ability led to her often refusing to use a double, as she wanted to perform her own stunts. Pathe teamed her with actor Walter Miller, a successful effort that resulted in their making eight serials together. When Pathe gave up makng serials in 1929, Ray moved to Universal, which was still actively engaged in making them. Unfortunately, her career did not survive the sound era, as she had a high-pitched, squeaky voce that did not come out well on film. She made her last film in 1930, retired, and was never heard from again.
