    This is from a magazine of unknown title. Unfortunately it came with the cover ripped off and there's nothing inside with a title or publisher information. However, the magazine itself, which seems to date (I guess) from the early '50s is a gold mine of information about cowboy actors. It has an extensive section of Roy Rogers, also Gene Autry, plus full-page and half-page profiles of other stars, and also an extensive listing with pic and capsule bio of hundreds of other western actors in various categories -- top cowboys, good guys, bad guys, sidekicks, gals of the golden west, young 'uns, "south of the border," "gol-durned funny," etc.


    The weird thing is I can't find anything about John Wayne in it!


    Ward Bond has a half page profile as a "Bad Guy." ;)

    I know, Paula...here I was trying my best to find out how I could use it from you when Katrina told me she had found a good one, LOL.....they were the same.


    Everyone on my website is available for downloading, Keith -- just sign in and download away. There are thousands of screencaps from Wagon Master too -- all without the annoying black bars. Feel free to use anything you find there, or if you can't find it, just e-mail me.

    Did you reply ON the Speakeasy site where the article was....if so, it didn't show up? Trying to get everyone to say something just to help to increase requests for my articles....I know a lot of folks have seen it.........wonder if Katrina has to approve them or something......anyway, let me know if you put something on the site, please. Did you see Steele mired up......it really was some kind of muck they were in.
    Thanks, Keith


    No, I haven't commented on the Speakeasy website, sorry... yes, poor Steel. It sure must have been muddy around that riverbank!

    Great article! Thanks, Keith! By sheer coincidence, that picture at the top of the article is the same one I'm using right now as the banner photo on my Ben Johnson page. ;)

    Are we talking about Wagon Master? Because Linda Darnell was not in that. It was Jane Darwell who had a look at the torn pant leg.
