Time to pull on the big hat for some Western drama with #TomTyler #AlStJohn and #BernadeneHayes in DANGEROUS MISSION (aka Trigger Tom) (1935) at 9am #TPTVsubtitles

Today we celebrate the birthday of American actor Tom Tyler, born today in 1903. Known for leading roles in low-budget Westerns, he also portrayed superhero Captain Marvel in the 1941 serial film The Adventures of Captain Marvel and Kharis in 1940's The Mummy's Hand. #TomTyler

Vastly inferior to Karloff's masterpiece and shockingly poor transfers, but Universal's four sequels to The Mummy are still very enjoyable.

On this date in 1954, Tom Tyler, the first man to play a comic book superhero on film died. His Adventures of Captain Marvel is still considered one of, if not the, best serials ever made. He also played the Phantom and Kharis, the Mummy as well as appearing in countless westerns. #TomTyler

Tom Tyler Silent Film Collection Best known today for his later roles as Captain Marvel (1941) and The Phantom (1943), this collection brings together two of Tom Tyler's last silent features: The Man from Nevada (1929) and Law of the Plains (1929), unseen for over 90 years. Produced by J. P. McGowan and distributed by Syndicate Pictures, these B-westerns were the bread and butter of most small-town theaters in the 1920s and 1930s. Just as the careers of western stars like William S. Hart and Tom Mix were winding down, Tyler emerged as a new breed of wholesome cowboy hero. - In The Man From Nevada, Tyler gallops to the rescue of Natalie Joyce and her family, protecting them from a villian who threatens to rob their homestead. Tyler is a fast riding, straight shooting rancher in Law of the Plains, avenging the death of his father against a gang of outlaws led by J. P. McGowan. - New 2K restorations from original 35mm nitrate prints: The Man from Nevada by USC HMH Foundation Moving Image Archive, and Law of the Plains by Undercrank Productions. - Blu-ray is Region ABC (all-regions).
