    I haven't been back in awhile simply because after my last post some comments were made about someone I know that were upsetting and uncalled for. So I will make this comment and am not sure if I will be back.

    Lenny,
    I am sorry that you seem offended in some way,
    and only hope this doesn't you away from our board,
    which we consider to be one of the friendliest on the net.
    I feel sure a PM to the member/s involved could have sorted this.


    In the meantime, thanks you theis update

    Has he not heard the saying,


    Nothing is set in concrete

    Quote from Colorado Bob

    Just my two cents here, but Adventure's End is not a "lost film". It may not be readily available, but since it does exist, I don't think it can be considered a "lost film." Just to solidify this in my own mind, I sent an email to the LOC regarding the existence of Adventure's End, and this is the reply I received:




    I am encouraged by what the librarian says: "a reference copy can be made available for on-site viewing only." This tells me that it is possible to actually watch this film, if you happen to be at the LOC. And apparently it is conceivable that Universal (who holds the copyright) could grant permission to allow duplication and distribution of Adventure's End. I guess now we just have to convince them to do it!


    Thanks for this Bob,
    our entry in
    Duke's Missing and Rare Movies
    is this


    1937. ADVENTURES END- (Universal) *** LOC

    Great job Duke! Thanks for all your research! Now my question is: COST! Is this somthing we as a group, ( dukewayne.com ) could help make possible? Pass the hat so to speak? I'd throw in a few coins! What do you think Keith? Bill


    Bill,
    anything is worth a try.
    You can start a thread if you want, however you will need to know
    who to contact regarding the rights and issue of this movie,
    as from experience folks will not part with money,
    unless there is a safe and trusted result

    Quote from The Duke Is The Man

    Nothing new yet, as I am working on finding any possible new info on restoring Adventures End. As Elly's post before mine shows, the info received fom Rosemary Hanes (who I know very well) is that Adventures End survives on 35mm nitrate film, which is very fragile. Sometimes you only get one shot at restoring a film on nitrate and not knowing what the condition of the whole film is yet (although I'm told it's in good condition), I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've written to many distributors and studios looking for someone to take on this restoration or help with the funding and have been getting a few back of some interest. I'm trying to get some sort of ballpark figure on the cost of restoring it and working with the LOC on that end. I hope that this will pay off and we will get this done! I'll keep you all updated with any new info as I get it. The great news is that many of Duke's "lost" films have been located and only considered "lost" that they are not commercially available. They do survive and I am one that is trying to get them restored and available for all to view and enjoy as they were meant to be!


    Thank you for this update, please let us know.

    Quote from Colorado Bob

    John Wayne said that he worked on this film both herding horses and cattle. He also said that he was a member of a posse in one of the scenes, although the posse is shown only in a long shot, and the faces of the posse members cannot really be seen. However, since he said he was in that scene, it's good enough for me.


    Hello Bob, and thanks for your post.
    It's also good enough to include this movie in our Filmography
    The Lone Star Ranger

    Quote from jmac67

    Some of the titles you have mentioned here are available in some of those "WESTERN COLLECTIONS" dvd's you find in stores and websites where you sometimes find as many as 50 titles in the "COLLECTION". There will also be films with actors like Johnny Mack Brown or Bob Steele, Gene Autry or Roy Rogers. Most of them are titles in public domain so quality may not be great but the films are there.


    Thank jmac and I have extended you an official Welcome
    in our dedicated thread

    Any mention of the above in my library of books,
    I have mentioned on the Movie Review of the film.
    However,I do have Big Trail reviews on


    The Lone Star Ranger,
    and
    Women of all nations
    which Bob posted in it's entirety.

    Earlier this year, I was able to obtain all but one edition of The Big Trail, although I don't yet have an index. If you have an index and can tell me which issue has information on Strong Boy, I can tell you what Tim Lilley has to say about it.

    Sue,


    Arthur also has a copy of it, I am also awaiting his reply,
    but if you find one first, let me know

    0n 20 July 2007 you yourself posted this message Keith LOL "These, HAM HAMILTONS COMEDIES, STRONG BOY, THE LONE STAR RANGER These are mentioned by Tim Lilley in The Big Trail. Maybe, maybe, not an actor in them, but still worth of inclusion " http://www.dukewayne.com/search.php?searchid=188900



    Keith I would be most interested to hear what exactly Tim Lilley said in the big trail about strong boy.


    Thanks Elly for reminding me what I said LOL,
    and I am awaiting a copy of Tim's review of Strong Boy


    It's also important to know that Fred Landesman's reviews were
    the one's that Tim Lilley originally compiled for The Big Trail,
    and the biggest 'moan' about Fred's book,
    is that there was nothing new!


    My notes about WOAN are from The Big Trail
    so we need to view the movie and confirm Duke's appearance.


    We have to also realise, that whilst Duke was a prop boy,
    we could assume that he may have been involved in every production,
    that was released by the Fox Film Corporation at that time,
    and then the FIlmography could be even bigger!!!


    We therefore must be realistic and try and pinpoint Duke,
    to actually being involved
