Raymond Hatton

The son of a physician, 'Raymond Hatton' (qv) entered films in 1909, eventually appearing in almost 500 other pictures. In early silents he formed a comedy team with big, burly 'Wallace Beery' (qv). He was best known as the tobacco-chewing, rip-snorting Rusty Joslin in the Three Mesquiteers series. He was also in the Rough Riders series and appeared as 'Johnny Mack Brown' (qv)'s sidekick as well. His last Western was, fittingly, _Requiem for a Gunfighter (1965)_ (qv).::James L. Mason
