Hi Jay and Arthur,
If you click on the link below, there's an interseting piece about Leo.
Spot the mistake, it says, he shot Duke's dog in HONDO !!
Didn't the dog get speared by a nasty Indian???

Rather than be unfair to Ford I think that he along with Howard Hawks and Henry Hathaway he was a great director and certainly did wonders for Wayne's career, but it cannot be ignored that throughout the 1930's he ignored Duke.
With Wayne's career going into free fall after the Columbia debacle, It was Monogram and Robert north Bradbury who offered him work.

Hi Arthur,
I totally agree with you,

Hi Vera,
In answer to your question,
Arthur is right in pointing out, that if not for the LoneStar/Monogram
movies of the early days, most of which Robert North Bradbury directed,
Duke, could have been lost forever!!!
Those early films by the way, were:-
1933. RIDERS OF DESTINY- (Lone Star/Monogram)
1933. WEST OF THE DIVIDE- (LS/M)
1934.-LUCKY TEXAN- (LS/M)
1934. BLUE STEEL-(LS/M)
1934. THE MAN FROM UTAH- (LS/M)
1934. THE STAR PACKER- (LS/M)
1934. THE TRAIL BEYOND- (LS/M
1934.-LAWLESS FRONTIER- (LS/M)
1935. TEXAS TERROR- (LS/M)
1935. RAINBOW VALLEY- (LS/M)
1935. THE DAWN RIDER- (LS/M)
1935. WESTWOOD HO!- (Republic) First of new almalgamated company.
1935. LAWLESS RANGE- (Republic)
Hope this helps,
Keith
Hi,
I believe Duke gave Yvonne, her part in
McLintock, as his way of helping her out!!
Keith
Hi Arthur and Vera,
Thanks for the posting on Ward Bond.
To add to this, it seemed that being in complete control
of Wagon Train, went to Wards head,
and unfortunately, his attiude of the big 'I am'
rankled many people,

Hi Vera,
It was a joke, it has been raining non stop,

Hi Bill,
How worlds apart we are!!
I'm just going to bed when you get up,
and just going to work, when you're going to bed!!
Such is life!
Keith
Well said Arthur,
We have the same problem
the kids still get up, in body clock time,
Snooooze, later!!
Keith
Hi Arthur,
Seems like, if you were gonna be famous,
today was not the best day to be born!!
However, on second thoughts,
at least you'd have got noticed!!
Keith
Hi Arthur,
I echo Mikes post,
when I say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
keep 'em rolling!
My Very Best Wishes,
Keith
Hi Arthur,
I liked Luis Alberni,
He was in 170 odd films, including,
playing that likeable Mexican rogue,
in Duke's Warner Brothers,
THE BIG STAMPEDE, and THE MAN FROM MONTERY.
Best Wishes,
Keith
Hi Arthur,
Thanks for the post,
it was both interesting and absorbing.
I can imagine, Duke not being able to recite, the eulogy,
after all, he wasn't above any feelings, at a time like that!
Keith
Hi Arthur,
WELCOME back, it sounds like you had a great holiday?
What a lovely suprise for you at the hotel!
I think those little things, make it so special.
I am sure you educated our Amigos and amigas,
all about the great man, El Duque!!
Perhaps if they watched el hombre grande,
they wouldn't bother chucking tomatoes, at each other.
Best Wishes,
Keith
Hi,
All I know is that Woody was definitely a man,
there is no doubt about that!!
He was an athlete at UCLA and then a pro footballer.
As to Fords relationship with him, I've no idea,
but he and Duke nearly came to blows on the set of
LIBERTY VALACE, which may not have been a smart move for
Duke!!

Hi Arthur,
Have a Happy Holiday,don't get too hot,
and take it easy!
We'll enjoy your posts, whilst you're away.
Be good, take care,
Best Wishes,
Keith
