the classic tv themes website is a great reference source on the music used on old tv shows. the opening theme music to the cisco kid tv series was written by albert glasser (1916 - 1998). glasser did music work at republic pictures in the early 1940s. this was followed by conducting and / or music composing on the cisco kid films, russell hayden mountie adventures, and don barry westerns churned out by lippert. in the mid 1950s, glasser was composing and conducting on sci - fi films for director bert i. gordon and american - international (the amazing colossal man (1957), the cyclops (1957), attack of the puppet people (1958), more). more on the cisco kid tv theme at :

the mad genius
the current picture at the hollywood, is admirable, but in the matter of some of the other performances and the dialogue this contribution leaves much to be desired. the spirit of the mad genius tsarakov (mr. barrymore) seems to have influenced this film in an extraordinary fashion. view full article in timesmachine »
the duncan renaldo and leo carrillo cisco kid tv show consisted of 156 half - hour episodes filmed during 1949 - 1956. it was syndicated, filmed in color, and produced by frederick w. ziv' s ziv television programs company. the opening had renaldo (on his paint horse
diablo
) and carrillo (on his palomino
loco
) riding hard against a dusty and cactus strewn backdrop with an exciting musical score in the background -
the cisco kid theme
was written by albert glasser. the introduction / opening narration on the tv show was also memorable :
here' s adventure! here' s romance! here' s o. henry' s famous robin hood of the old west - the cisco kid !
in addition to the cisco kid, frederick ziv did a bunch of radio and many 1950s syndicated and network tv shows including highway patrol, bat masterson, sea hunt and science fiction theater. more info on ziv is at :
the cisco kid radio show ran from about 1942 through the mid 1950s, and was heard over the mbs (mutual broadcasting system), the don lee network (california), and via syndication. in the early version, jackson beck was cisco and louis sorin played pancho. in the later episodes, jack mather was cisco and his sidekick (pancho / porfirio) was played by harry lang and mel blanc. jerry haendiges has an old time radio (otr) site which has a bunch of logs / listings of radio shows. the log notes there were over 600 shows in the mather series :
but there was an interim cisco, starting in 1946 with the gay cavalier. monogram starred gilbert roland in the role as cisco and did away with pancho (although there would be sidekicks by other names). roland smoked cigarettes (which he often parked behind one ear), enjoyed tequila, and proved an exciting if less savory b - western hero through his sixth cisco picture, king of the bandits (1947) .
with one exception (the capture, a 1950 detective picture with lew ayers and teresa wright), duncan renaldo would play cisco for the rest of his career. the movie series started with the valiant hombre (1948), the gay amigo, the daring caballero and satan' s cradle (1949) and the girl from san lorenzo (1950). cisco had ridden a palomino named diablo in his earlier threesome, and kept the name for his paint horse in the later movies and tv series. pancho got a palomino named loco. as with the pancho character himself, the horses' names came out of the radio series .
phil krasne was the key figure in resurrecting cisco yet again, this time at united artists. renaldo came back to the role, shaving off his mustache, and made the first clean - shaven cisco a do - gooder rather than a carefree bandit. leo carrillo (1881 - 1961), who had already had a long career in films, became the new and best - known pancho .
warner baxter returns as the cisco kid, a follow - up to one of the first talkies, in old arizona (1928), where baxter won his big oscar! also back is edmund lowe as the man chasing him. a much more polished talkie this time around with a basic' robin hood outlaw' plot. never anything amazing, but baxter was enjoyable, even singing
la cucaracha
for the kids !
the cisco kid rides again! this time, he robs a bank to save pretty widow sally benton and her ranch. after developing a good relationship with sally’s children, he risks life and limb in order to save her little one. warner baxter, edmund lowe, conchita montenegro and nora lane star in this western tale .
the final cisco movie sequed nicely into the tv series, which was shot in color (which would come in handy once color television came along). the series featured many actors and actresses previously seen in b - westerns, and produced 156 half - hour shows. the show continued even when renaldo was injured during the fourth season in 1953 - 54 in a rock fall and hospitalized through nine episodes (the producers had cisco wearing masks, disguised as a ghost and other gimmicks where they could use doubles. they had renaldo record his lines from the hospital, and inserted previously - shot footage of him). the sixth season proved the final outing for the show, although it has been popular in re - runs .

you may want to visit the in search of... page on the old corral and the california death records database. there you will find a record for: duncan renaldo, birthdate of 4 / 23 / 1904, and he passed away on 9 / 3 / 1980. his mother' s maiden name and father' s last name are not listed. there is no record in the social security death index (ssdi), apparently because the family did not file for the death benefit .
monogram grabbed it three years later, and gave duncan renaldo the role with which he would be identified forever. supposedly renaldo had input into the characterization, and wanted to do away with its shady side. he suggested that the pancho character be like that of pancho sanza, the comic sidekick to cervantes' classic don quixote de la mancha .

several years ago, there was a question about renaldo working in a couple of columbia shorts with the three stooges. he may have portrayed a japanese envoy in i' ll never heil again (columbia, 1941) as well as a bullfight announcer in what' s the matador? (columbia, 1942). three stooges researcher brent seguine came to the rescue and advised that renaldo never appeared with the zany trio. brent adds that the short - statured' japanese envoy' in i' ll never heil again was played by nick arno (5' 4

i' m not sure how this ended up in my possession but i know i' ve had it for some time now. it has a sky high rating on imdb, but to me it seems fairly standard and typical for the period it was made in. almost every possible stereotype are included, and the outcome was quite what i expected from the start. which, i guess, made it a nice enough experience .

... after several previous failed attempts to find him in the 1930 california census, i hit pay dirt. by varying spellings of his name i found him listed as duncan renalds, possibly a writing error by the census official. his age is given as 25, as it should be, and it says he was married at age 20 but by 1930 was divorced. his occupation is listed as' actor / motion pictures'. he was living at 1737 north whitley ave. , los angeles, as were many other unrelated people. i assume this was a hotel or large boarding house. he was paying $ 100 per month rent, pretty hefty for the depression. best of all, he told the census taker he was born in new jersey, and that one parent was also born in new jersey and the other in spain. of course, he may have fibbed but if not, his jailing on immigration charges would seem to have been a bogus conviction .

( jack mathis advertising, 1992), and i' ve given jack credit in the acknowledgements & thanks page. renaldo' s credits at republic pictures numbers about two dozen films from 1937 - 1944, of which seven were serials and the remainder being b westerns. apparently, renaldo was under standard' picture commitment' contracts at republic during most of this time (x dollars for x days / weeks work on picture y). during his three mesquiteers work, republic opted to put him under a term player contract, and the agreement (s) ran from october 2, 1939 through october 1, 1940. this simply meant that for security and a regular paycheck, republic could utilize him as much as they wanted .
