Cole Bros "Ken Maynard" Window Card #1
By the time that this window card was posted in the summer of 1937 Ken Maynard was closing in on his 42nd birthday - a bit long in the tooth for a Hollywood stuntman, but still a household name as a matinee idol. Maynard appeared in more than 90 films, usually with his horse "Tarzan"..

One Sunday in 1959 the Cristiani advance was in Santa Ana and I went by bus into Los Angeles to catch the show. Ken Maynard was in the audience that day, was introduced and stood up and got a nice round of applause.

Thanks John so clearly they were no

relation to Ken Maynard but I wonder

if that influenced the name change

Wasn't Tex a show drummer
