Onscreen from the early 1910s, veteran stage actor William Lowery became a special favorite of Douglas Fairbanks who used him often, most notably as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood (1922). Some of the sheriff's darker side crept into #92;Lowery's other work and he was equally convincing playing crooked ranch foremen or cattle rustlers in scores of budget #92;Westerns of the 1920s. Lowery retired from screen acting at the changeover to sound. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
