CARSON trivia:
Lane Chandler was a silent screen star who slipped into supporting roles in 'B' movies from the early 1930s on.
In his 35-year career (beginning in 1914), Slim Whitaker appeared in over 340 westerns. He has a small role here.
William Witney (several minor characters) was CARSON director Colbert Clark's brother-in-law. In 1937, Witney began his second (and principal) career as a director of western serials, movies and TV shows.
Stuntman-extraordinaire Yakima Canutt starred in a few silent-era westerns. He was also at times an assistant director, production coordinator, writer and stunt coordinator on dozens of great films. Here, Canutt is one of the Mystery Riders.
Iron Eyes Cody specialized in playing Native Americans, yet he was the son of Italian immigrant parents. Cody denied this even in court in 1996, when his heritage was challenged. Cody's most famous role was his briefest: he was the Indian who sheds a tear for a blighted American environment in "Keep America Beautiful" ads that ran from 1971 into the 1980s.

Gene Autry appears briefly in MYSTERY MOUNTAIN (starring Ken Maynard), which is another terrific MASCOT western cliffhanger.
