Who is this guy?

[caryc]

Recognize the guy on the left in this picture? I didn't recognize his face either. But as soon as he opened his mouth, I knew who he was. I recognized that kind of silky smooth voice right away. So, I looked up the cast and crew and sure enough, it was Clayton Moore, the Lone Ranger.

This was an episode of Gene Autry from 1954 titled "The Carnival comes to town". So tell the truth would any of you have recognized him from the picture?

Here's another interesting fact that I'm sure nobody cares about. Gene Autry also had cuffs on the bottom of his pants. But they was smaller, like an inch or so. It was also double rolled so it looked neater.

No way thats him.
No mask.
And he’s too fat.

 

[cowboycopus]

Almost everyone had cuffs on their jeans back then. Sometimes 6 or 8 inches.

 

[jimbo1096]

Would have fooled me.
I remember the cuffs. Made me want to wear my jeans like that too.

One of the things I like about DirecTV is that when watching any program one can hit the "info" button and choose "cast and crew" and it will show all the actors along with pictures of most of them and sure enough, it said Clayton Moore.

Grew up with cuff on jeans in the 50's and the Lone Ranger. I think this is
the first time I have ever seen him without a mask.

Many people including me have never seen his face without a mask.

On another thought... I remember back when I was a young man, it became a new fashion for us to roll up a very small (like half inch) cuff on our Levis. Of course we had to wear one of those thin half inch belts to match.

Then there was another fad to cut off all the belt loops and roll the top of the waist band half way down. What do you expect from goofy kids?

Be careful, he’ll shoot the gun out of your hand.

Back when I was managing a very large gun store here in L.A., Clayton Moore used to drop by and tell stories---I considered him a friend---super nice guy---RIP amigo.

 

[jbenedetto2]

Met Clayton Moore in the 1970's at a rodeo at the Nassau Colliseum on Long Island, NY. He autographed a photo for me with MY PEN. The Photo & Pen are in the same frame. Here's the photo.

The rolled up pants legs were a fact of life in rural areas. Small town dry goods stores usually stocked as few sizes as possible so getting correct inseam wasn't always possible. In addition, many income challenged families bought boys' pants a couple sizes too big at the beginning of the school year. The waist was cinched up with a belt ( or something less like braided twine) and the legs rolled up 3-4 inches.
Wearing pants w/o rolled up cuffs was an indication that your folks had enough money to afford this 'luxury' OR you Mother/Grandmother had time to hem up the excess.

You mean like these "he will grow into them jeans"

Looks like he needs to grow more into that gun than the jeans.

Cary I was 5 almost 6 at the time. It's a Daisy Red Ryder that I bought with my own money of $5.95. The pump was the one I wanted but it was $7.95 way to much

You were lucky. I had the pump model and I had to place the butt on the ground and use both hands to cock the thing.

I had to do the same to cock the lever

I recognized him before he ever said a word, but then I grew up watching these shows the first time around. I spent a great deal of time watching many, many western tv shows, as well as cowboy movies- [some might say wasted] and Clayton Moore was one of my childhood heroes. Along with Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Randolph Scott, they were truly honorable men and our world is truly a lesser place because people don't have role models like them to look up to today.

I always wanted to have that brown leather jacket Scott wore in a lot of his movies.

The reason I stopped rolling up hem on my jeans was because all the dust/dirt etc. that would get into them while walking in high grass.

Dawn Angela Moore was Clayton's adopted daughter.
Jay Silverheels had a son who was a Jr.

My grandson is a 6th generation Texan, but he doesn’t do cuffs.
And I gave him the RR after he did some work for me.

 

[Wyandot Jim]

I had to get a Daisy for Grandson but it is Roy Rogers rather than Red Ryder

 

[caryc]

Not too long ago, I was in Walmart and they had a Red Ryder Daisy. I almost bought it just for old times sake.

I've had to start cuffing my long pants... seems the legs and the pants are stretching out .... oddly my wife's car has the opposite problem the drivers side is shrinking....

 

[Jack Ryan]

We all had cuffs on our jeans growing up. New ones would be cuffed like "the Duke". Worn out ones would be short.

That was a parenting trick.
