- Melvin Lang, The Durango Kid, 1940. Change of Marshal Trayboe in Charles Starrett’s first of 63 outings as the masked hero – like 1938’s Lone Ranger, something of an Anglo Zorro! (Except, Starrett was a different character behind the mask almost every time). Taggert made 172 films during 1915-1944, including the first She (Indiana’s Valeska Suratt) 1916, and a 1940 Flash Gordon serial. Lang was less prolific: just five movies, from 1939 to his 1940 death.
