 (From Old Corral collection) Left to right are young Billy Butts, Tom Keene and Canutt in SCARLET RIVER (RKO, 1933). This was a good 'un about making a western, and Keene was the movie hero. Canutt was on the side of the law for a change, portraying a film company wrangler as well as Keene's stunt double.  (From Old Corral collection) Above - a young John Wayne has collared a young and thin Eddie Parker, and on horseback, Yakima Canutt has Earl Dwire under wraps.
