Query: Not one of the better "pre-Wayne" Wanye films.

Paradise Canyon (Carl Pierson, 1935)Another pre-Stagecoach John Wayne Lone Star short, this one with Wayne playing John Wyatt, an undercover marshal trying to get to the bottom of a counterfeiting ring by infiltrating a medicine show run by the ringleader's old partner, who's gone as legit as a medicine show mogul can be. It's relatively amusing, though the medicine show scenes tend to be far too long, killing any pace the movie might have built up. But then you don't watch these for their great stories, timeless direction, etc.; you watch them to get a feel for John Wayne before he was John Wayne. **
