A former operator of a movie exchange, a director with Universal from 1916, and an associate of Sydney Chaplin, Clifford S. Elfelt turned to the field of B-Westerns in the 1920s, producing and directing a brief series starring J.B. Warner. For poverty row mogul J. Charles Davis, Elfelt later created Ken Maynard's first Western vehicles, a series that rather incongruously also featured a bevy of former Follies girls. Unfortunately, Elfelt went bankrupt producing this obscure series and he left films altogether in 1926.
