Warner Oland but mainly because of the writing and the casting of co-stars in the earlier series.
It's like Abbott & Costello or the Marx Brothers...they all ran out of steam after a really great early period.

Oland was more humble and self effacing but Toler had a slight edginess to him. I liked them both. Winters played the character more like Toler.....but without the wry smile.

When TCF dropped the series Toler bought the rights and low cost and budget conscious Monogram Pictures stepped in and produced what remained of the series until Toler's untimely death, at which point Winters stepped in to complete the series.
