- Wilfred Lucas, The Massacre, 1912. First choice of the heroic Stephen in DW Griffith’s silent short.Craig was given another role inthis 70th of his 120 movies during 1909-1931.
- Jerry Drew, The Painted Desert, 1930. Drew replaced Craig but the real interest about this Z-Western was a certain Clark Gable making his talkie debut. How come?
