Tommy Thompson, Bill
Hicks, and Jim Watson (Touch the picture

An upstaging problem!
Jim Wann (Jesse James) may have found
the only way to upstage Tommy Thompson, who looks fetching here (except
for a minor facial hair problem) in costume as Jesse James' mother.
Tommy also played the role of Jesse's cousin Cole Younger. Clive
Barnes wrote about Tommy this way: "a huge man with a red beard and a fine
talent."
Hicks as Bocephus!
Bill Hicks shares this scene with Rick
Simpson who left the show and was replaced by Jack Herrick who became the
fifth Red Clay Rambler
