He took over from Sanders in the Falcon series of films when his brother got better offers and went on to have a career bubbling under that of an A-lister.
The Falcon is the nickname for two fictional detectives. Drexel Drake (real name Charles H.

It was followed by two more novels – The Falcon Cuts In, 1937, and The Falcon Meets a Lady, 1938 – and a 1938 short story.
