Carnival of Souls (1962)
Character "Man On The Bridge"
Didn't realize when I saw this film back in the day that it would become so famous as a cult classic. My father, Joe Traylor, played a bit part in the early scene when the car ran off the bridge and towns people showed up later. Dad was seen in his business suit running across the bridge and then down on the spit by the river watching the sheriff. I don't think he thought it was going to be as muddy as it was. He slid around a little and had to look down to keep from falling. Dad knew Herk Harvey and Russell Mosser of Centron Corp. He used to play golf with Russ Mosser and they lived down the street from us. I remember my mother saying that Dad had invested in the film but never got anything back from the investment. I really know little about the film industry, just wanted to throw my 2 cents into the pot. Love you Dad.
Other People's Property (1951)
Character of "Frank"
"Frank" is Jon Withers Traylor (my big bro). My father is Joe R Traylor and owned Traylor & Calvin Insurance in Lawrence at the time of the film. Joe knew Herk Harvey and I believe bought stock in Centron when it was first set up. Joe also had a bit part in the early scenes of Herk's film, "Carnival of Souls". Jon did at least one other public service film entitled "Bicycle Safety". He appears in that one only for a minute or so where he is working on his bike in the back yard of our residence which was 1601 High Drive in Lawrence. My main purpose here is to make Jon famous. I was very impressed with his acting and he really did turn out a lot better than the "Frank" character in the film. Love you bro.
