Thanks for these posters, Eric. They bring back a lot of memories of my childhood in McAlester, OK, in the late 1940s and early 50s when I plopped down a dime at the ticket window of the Chief Theatre on Choctaw Avenue on Saturday afternoon and saw a double feature (both Westerns, of course), previews of coming attractions, a cartoon,and, best of all, chapter 7 of the latest serial. And when Clyde Beatty brought his 3-ring show to town in August 1948, I'm sure I probably skipped the Lash LaRue, Alan Lane or Gene Autry movie opera that week. Where there were five downtown theaters back then (for a town of 17,000), now there are none.
Son of a gun, there's someone else out there who remembers Alan, Lash,and perhaps others like Fuzzy St John, Smiley Burnett and Eddie Dean and let us not forget Tex Ritter. Thank God for dvd's which provide a great alternative to the movie/TV tripe of today.

Lane,
I would have probably missed an episode of Have Gun Will Travel(hell, Paladin was always cranky anyway), or Allan Lane(Rocky was the voice of Mr. Ed!!!! Roy Rogers sure wouldn't do something that embarrassing). but no way would I have missed Lash LaRue(he was better then Whip Wilson, I don't care what anybody say's) or the Cisco Kid. I remember my excitement when I met Johnny Cline in 1974 and saw his horses. How lucky I thought he was because he had 6 Diablo's.
