Mac Hedges "Last Buckaroo" Back in Print
Your support of my Western Music Network launch in 2002/2003 was much appreciated. Unfortunately, we could not find a large enough audience to sustain the economics of keeping it up and running. I continue in my efforts to promote the heritage of Western Culture, and am pleased to announce that I have partnered with Mac Hedges to bring back to the publishing world.
Mac's wonderful novel, "Last Buckaroo."
The story of bringing Last Buckaroo back to print is documented on our website www.lastbuckaroo.com. I hope you will consider telling your Internet audience about the return of this book. Gibbs Smith, the original publisher did not do much, so there are many that have never even had the chance to read it. Our friend and buckaroo, Mac Hedges, is more than willing to spin an interview, and probably throw in a new story or two. Mac's e-mail is last-buckaroo@sbcglobal.net.
Many Thanks

There may be a few perplexed people around who still remember his greatest blunder, when he played a corpse on live tv and suddenly walked out of the coffin, in the middle of a broadcast, thinking the scene had ended. The detective went on and solved the murder, never explaining why the corpse had suddenly gone for a stroll!

Tarzan was never played by a man...He was a horse!!!!
Now, that that's over with, I believe you are speaking of Herman Brix (Bruce Bennett). The film in question, "The New Adventures Of Tarzan" was released as both a serial and a feature. More footage from this was released as "Tarzan And The Green Goddess". Brix/Bennett later went on to star in "The Lone Ranger' and "Land Of Fighting Men" among others. But, wait!-There are other Tarzan/Cowboy links! The first movie Tarzan ("Tarzan Of The Apes") was Elmo Lincoln, a former Arkansas peace officer. D.W. Griffith became quite "impressed' by him when his short was torn during the filming of "Battle Of Elderbush Gulch". In true movieland style, Louisiana stood in for Africa. Lincoln later ended his career at $55 a day in Charles Starrett westerns.

I believe you are speaking of Eugene Oliver Edgar Stutenroth, but we know him better as Gene Roth. In Los Angeles, on July 19, 1976, he was struck by a hit and run driver. Not only did he play baddies, but he is affectionately known to us as the spy Bortsch in the Three Srooges short, "Dunked In the Deep". Apparently not satisfied with this singular effort, he reprised the role in yet another Stooges short, "Commotion On The Ocean". Also, fifties movie fans think we watch "Attack Of The Giant Leeches" to see Yvette Vickers, but the real reason is to enjoy Gene Roth's portrayal of Sheriff Kovis!

Once more, I must bow to the "master", Boyd Magers, for this information. (His mind is much more reliable than mine!) Charles Starrett made 131 B-Westerns for Columbia between 1935 and 1952. Of these, an UNPRECENDENTED (64) were DURANGO KID movies. Not all of them had been released to DVD or TV over the years. Again, according to Boyd Magers, the final one in the series, THE KID FROM BROKEN GUN was recently televised on TCM, and I could kick myself for missing it! This one, especially, is one fans have been long awaiting! Incidentally, though the name "Durango" or "Durango Kid" may have been used in some movies or tv shows, including a 1999 movie, DURANGO KIDS, the Charles Starrett westerns are the ones referred to as the DURANGO KID series. He always played the DURANGO KID, but his "secret identities" always changed, though it is a joke among fans that most of the time he played a "Steve" something or other.

There were 65 Durango Kid films starring Charles Starrett.
The first was "The Durango Kid" in August of 1940. Then there was nothing until after the war when "The Return of the Durango Kid" in 1945 kicked off the continuous series. It should be noted that though there were 65 releases many of the later films were made up of shortened earlier pictures with new continuity wraps added. The last Durango Kid film was "The Kid From Broken Gun" which was copyright August 18, 1952.

When you think of him, you often think of his partner. Some would be surprised to learn his partner was actually one of a set of triplets. His son became a great stuntman.

Ironic…The final chapter of "The Indians Are Coming", Chapter 12, was entitled “The Trail’s End”. Historically, this was “The Trail’s Beginning” as it revived interest in what many felt was an entertainment that would soon die away. This was the first time a serial was given such legitimate treatment, and much of its success can be attributed to the fact that it featured all sound as opposed to those films which linked the silent era to the sound era which were mainly silent with a bit of sound “thrown in”. If not for “The Indians Are Coming”, we may never have enjoyed such a legacy of serial features

As the question regarding Pancho drifted off into the Radio version, those comments seemed incorrect. My memory from the mid-1940s in Los Angeles was, "The part of the Cisco Kid was played by Jack Mather; Pancho, by Harry Lang." The show was sponsored by Weber's Bread.
This interesting snippet from http://ciscokid.libsyn.com/ offering Cisco Kid radio podcasts:
"The Cisco Kid came to radio October 2, 1942, with Jackson Beck in the title role and Louis Sorin as Pancho. With Vicki Vola and Bryna Raeburn in supporting roles and Michael Rye announcing, this series continued on Mutual until 1945. It was followed by another Mutual series in 1946, starring Jack Mather and Harry Lang, who continued to head the cast in the syndicated radio series of more than 600 episodes from 1947 to 1956." I'm guessing the Jackson Beck 'Cisco', which I've never heard, came out of New York, while the Mather version originated in L.A Please note, I do not now, nor have I ever, had any personal or financial interest in the website cited above
