Director Wallace Fox has sort of been forgotten in time, though he does have a few films that have become cult favorites. There isn't much known about Fox, but he was born 3/9/1895 in Purcell, OK, and began directing in the silent era (his first film was The Bandit's Son (1927)). He worked mainly on "B" films for "B" studios, especially "Poverty Row" studio Monogram Pictures, for whom he made such films as Bowery at Midnight (1942) and The Corpse Vanishes (1942)--both with Bela Lugosi-- and Pillow of Death (1945), which starred Lon Chaney Jr. and was made for Universal (Universal in the 1940s was more of a "minor major", but was still several steps above Poverty Row). He made quite a few films with the East Side Kids, all at Monogram.
Fox specialized in low-budget westerns, with quite a few to his credit, for a variety of studios including RKO and Universal. In the 1950s he began doing episodic TV, as the market for "B" pictures began to dry up because of television. In 1951 he directed his final film, Montana Desperado (1951), and thereafter turned exclusively to TV. His final directing job was Bull's Eye (1954), after which he retired.
He died on 6/30/1958 at age 63.- Maurice Leo was born on 9 February 1895 in Purcell, Oklahoma, USA. He is known for Hello, Sucker (1941), Hollywood Hotel (1937) and So's Your Uncle (1943).

- Champion runner Harry Cagle was born on August 3, 1913 in Purcell, Oklahoma. The son of insurance businessman Homer and Augusta B. Cagle, Harry also had a brother Robert and a sister Billie. Cagle was a top track star at Maud High School in Maud, Oklahoma until his family moved to Shawnee, Oklahoma, where Cagle finished high school. Following graduation from Shawnee High School in 1933, Harry went on to win the state championship in the 440 run that same year and attended Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee where he competed on the Bison track team. Cagle was selected to participate in the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin, Germany. Harry ran the opening leg of the men's 4x400m relay on the team that won the silver medal in that particular event. In the wake of his Olympic triumph Cagle returned to OBU where he set several records that endured for many years.
