Unfortunately, I can't make out the facial features of that cowboy. Could it be Tom Mix in casual wear? I imagine this photo was taken by one of those early Kodak cameras with a fixed lens setting. The final product tiny 2 x 2" contact prints. These photos do not lend themselves to enlarging due to the fact that the original image is blurry. However, we still get the spirit of the "back lot" at Woodlawn Park. Thanks again to "Beb" Peters, long time Hamilton Hartley Avenue neighbors, and still very close friends.

1928 (CIRCA 1928) A COWBOY PERFORMER AT WOODLAWN PARK

Hi Tom: The only well known cowboy I can remember with a white horse was Ken Maynard. I would also like to mention that one of the hoast of the marathon dance contests was said to be Red Skelton at the very beginning of his career.
