Description by OLDIES.com:
After three years of cranking out shorts and features for Universal at the paltry salary of $300 a week, director John Ford (then still calling himself "Jack" Ford) signed a lucrative deal with the Fox Film Corporation. Over the next ten years, Ford would make more than 30 films for the studio, including The Iron Horse (1924) and 3 Bad Men (1926). His first was Just Pals. Though still a journeyman work, it captures the heart of small-town America like many of Ford's classics. Leading man Buck Jones was one of the most famous cowboy actors of the silent age. His popularity continued well into the sound era, starring in 'The Rough Riders' series for Monogram Pictures with Tim McCoy and Raymond Hatton. Without a doubt his career would have continued had he not died in the infamous Cocoanut Grove fire of 1942. Jones' relationship with child actor Georgie Stone in Just Pals predates that of Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan in The Kid, released the following year.
BONUS: Get Your Man (1920): Neal Hart plays a U.S. Marshal on the trail of some claim jumpers in this vintage two-reeler. Hart had a relatively short career as a leading man in low-budget Western shorts and features, primarily based on his claim that he was William S. Hart's cousin (he wasn't.) However, as a bit player and stuntman, he did keep working until his death in 1949.
