Great stuff in this thread, Bob, Bert, Scott/Ponset, Jeff and everyone! much appreciated! I love this Dell Roy Rogers Comics #11 cover for November 1948...

Always great stuff in this thread! Thanks to Bob, Bert, Scott, Dan, Clark and others for wonderful posts here lately! I saw this on FB, and felt I should share it here...one of my hometown's old theatres (approx. 850 seats, still in existence, but at one time dreadfully turned into twin...

Beautiful work, Bob and Bert! Thank you for all your engaging posts full of your profound knowledge and enthusiastic love for this era and it's inevitable passing in the mortality of it's actors and actresses, as witnessed here. But the cinema remains, hopefully.

Thanks Bob for another wonderful post, fascinating details of the radio realm, antecedent and contemporary to our more familiar movie and television realms. I really enjoyed reading through the associated print materials too! Old time radio, having enjoyed loads of it previously over the years...

I believe I posted this way back in this thread, but with Bob's fascinating post about good ol' Rod Cameron (great work Bob!), and Jeff and Scott's follow-up posts, I thought I should post this here...as I've said before, Rod Cameron was from my home town of Calgary Alberta Canada, and he came...

Another great post, Bob! Under Western Stars is primetime Roy! And thank you for the notice about Mackintosh & T.J., although the pre-order isn't showing yet on Amazon....I wasn't aware of this soon-to-be Blu and DVD release! The HD trailer looks stunning for this new Blu, and Roy looks great...

Yes, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Bob, up there on Music Mountain! Thanks for all your wonderful Roy Rogers posts!

Ha, ha, Bob...you did pick me out of the crowd...I loved that Sombrero so much, I was a little Leo Carillo to some other little kid's Duncan Renaldo...as you see in this photo, I am in my crouching tiger stance, about to leap down like a grasshopper from two stories high to land in the car seat...

As far as I can tell, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans (and their kids and cast from the TV show as seen in my previous post some pages back) were honored guests at my Hometown Calgary Stampede at least 4 times...here is a photo of their appearance in the 1969 Stampede parade... Pat Woodell, Bobbi Jo...

Bob, enjoying your wonderful posts as always! Bert's very interesting commentary as well! Seeing as you have mentioned Rod Cameron more than a few times in this thread, I can contribute the following: Rod Cameron (Nathan Roderick Cox) was born in my hometown of Calgary, Alberta, in 1910. He...

Glad to see you posting here again Bob! Another wonderful, funny and informative post as always! Another day at the office for our hero, ha, ha! I nearly did all of the above during a recent shopping trip to Costco, but I'm a villain at heart. I really should try and chip-in with some more...

Wow, I didn't know that Bob! Canadians are stealthy like that. Who would have thought that Jack Carson, Victor Jory and Glenn Ford, guys who came across to millions as quintessentially American, were actually Canadian born? The biggest mind blower for me is that uber-British knockout Lois...

Roy and Dale in the 1962 Calgary Stampede Parade... They came back for the 1967 parade too, with Dale's little buddy for Bullet (or maybe his hoped for snack?)... Bobby and Ethel Kennedy in the same parade... Somehow, I found this image as well...Roy with Frank Sinatra and bandleader...

When I was an excitable 6 year old, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans (and much of their family) came to my hometown. They were honored guests and parade marshalls in the 1962 Calgary Stampede Parade...Pat Brady was also with them, and they performed a Wild West Show nightly at the Grandstand. July 7...

Bert, I should have posted an enlargement for you, had I known! Actually, snipping these screen shots from newspaper archive microfilm can be tricky. I discovered if I just took a shot of one page, it necessarily wouldn't have the ability to enlarge when clicked on. But if I included the page...

July 7, 1945...Bells of Rosarita...the front page heralded the Potsdam summit with Harry Truman, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin planning the end stage for the invasion of Japan, the Soviet entry into the Pacific war via a huge attack in Manchuria, and Truman revealing the atomic bomb to his...

Great stuff, Bob! Thank you for finding all these wonderful images! My hometown newspaper movie pages, July 6, 1946...Roy's Rainbow over Texas in the usual double bill with the Bowery Boys...click to enlarge...

Bert, your "silly reminiscing" is a treasure of delight for us all here. Your scholarly knowledge and evocative love for old time cinema makes my heart soar in the reading of it, a privilege I am deeply grateful for. Your reverential respect for these bygone stars and supporting players is so...

October 14, 1950...

Bob, here's some more premiere showings of Roy Rogers movies as seen in my hometown newspaper archive... July 8, 1950...

Roy and Dale married on new year's eve 1947...they were together 51 years, up to Roy's passing in 1998...

Bob, you find the most evocative and glorious pictures, thank you for making this thread such a joy! I continue to wander about in the time machine that is my hometown newspaper archive on Google newspapers, and remembering the many great movie houses and the streets as they were in those...

Wonderful posts, as always, Bob! You have rewarded us with a wealth of nostalgic warmth on a frigid November night. And on all of these pages! Very much appreciated! One of my hometown newspapers is very well represented on Google newspaper archive, and thus, among the news and advertising of...

Bob, I just found this wonderful picture on FB, and of course thought of you and decided it might be appreciated here...forgive me if it has already been posted by yourself or others...A Republic Pictures double bill on the marquee...Grand Blvd., St. Louis Mo., probably in very early 1945...as...

Wow, great find and research on this Bob! Tremendously interesting, it must have been a sensation for Westerns fans in 1958. I was only 2 that year, but I can well imagine how I would have felt watching this as, say, an eight year old boy. The video isn't too bad for the most part and I had to...
