Darby Jones (1910-1986) |

- Everett Brown, Tarzan Escapes, 1935. A change of Bomba for the loin-clothed caper. During his 35 film career, the Texan Brown made four Tarzan movies with three different ape-men: Lex Barker, Buster Crabbe, Johnny Weissmuller (this being the first of two).
- Nicodemus Stewart, Colonel Effingham’s Raid, 1945. Charles Coburn stole the whole show as the US Colonel Blimp - tackling his crooked City Hall. So few fretted about one African-American replacing another as “Ninety-Eight.” Except, of course, Jones and Stewart. The ex-vaudevillian Stewart was billed as either Nick O’Demus or Nick Stewart after 1946; his 56 movies included just the one Tarzan… with Gordon Scott.
