Tom Tyler was one of the luckier silent
film actors in that his filmography from the 1920's is considered to
be complete. What is not mentioned is that his studio, FBO, also had
a number of film titles lined up for him yet for some reason never
materialized. Perhaps permission for the stories to be made into
films could not be secured in time for them to be filmed. Or there
could have been any number of reasons they were not made, although
the unmade film titles sound intriguing enough, especially ones like
“Jerry Settles Down”, “Cow Punching for Cupid”, and “The
Eagle's Talons.” Following is a partial list of the unmade silent
films that Tom Tyler was assigned to star in for FBO, and the sources
where these films are mentioned:
Motion Picture News, November 21, 1925
“Up and At 'Em”
Motion Picture News, November 6, 1926
“Ridin' 'Em Ragged”
“Galloping Thunder”
“The Kid's Last Fight”
“Cow Punching for Cupid”
“Jerry Settles Down”

“The Gambler's Game”
Motion Picture News, September 29, 1928
“The Battling Buckaroo”
Motion Picture News, January 12, 1929
“The Eagle's Talons”
All together, these count as nine
silent film titles. It is possible there were more, should more come
across they will be added to another blog post.
