Dear Joe:
Received the Roy Rogers DVD's & the Rocky Lane DVD's today and I could not have made a better investment in making the purchase of your offered DVD's. The picture quality, sound and color (where available) made the very reasonable price well worth the wait. I would encourage anyone who loved the old B Westerns to invest in these offers and based on what I received, you will never go wrong. Thanks to these disk's, my 7 hour vacation travel will go quicker as I watch and enjoy these films. I hope you continue to make these offers available and I would hope all Cowboy Pal readers/followers will take advantage and build their library as I am mine.

Hope I'm not too late for this one! I love the Tim Holt series, and his performance in "Mosnster That Challenged The World" makes that film a real "guilty pleasure"! (I've even forgiven him for "The Yesterday Machine"!)
The answer for Tim Holt is that he rode many horses, one main horse prior to his serving our Country, and several afterward. In the early forties, Tim rode "Duke". When Lietenant Holt returned to films, he rode "Sheik", "Lightnoing", and "Sundance". Chito is a different story. The only name could supply for his horse is "Paco".

Re CHARLES STARRETT: Perhaps the inquirer is thinking of the first Charles Starrett Durango Kid movie called "The Durango Kid." In this movie, it is Bob Nolan (not Jimmy Wakely) who briefly dons the Durango outfit to fool the outlaws. Wakely would have been much too small to fool anyone.
My question for you ... What made you think the mask was yellow since all the Starrett's were shot in black and white?

Let's add to confusion or perhaps clarify it. We can disregard the color yellow unless it was used on a lobby card or a poster since all Starrett's were B&W. There was a film that had Starrett switiching masks but he was not the Durango Kid. This was "Robin Hood of the Range" which also included Jimmy Wakely in the cast. He did not switch masks with Wakely but with Stanley Brown who portrayed Santana, an outlaw out to protect the people from the greedy railroad company.

There is a John Wayne fan in the South Pacific on a little island atoll of 1000 people called Aitutaki! The man's name is Tony and he remembers John when John Wayne and other stars would fly in on the Pan Am "Coral Route" clipper ship for vacations. Tony (an island native) really always wanted to be a cowboy... he even owns one of
the only 3 horses on the island and wears a beat-up old cowboy hat. I visited with him on a recent vacation and promised him that I would try to find a Wayne movie that he fondly remembered from his childhood. Trouble is, I don't know the film's title. I do have this info (it is a scene Tony remembers): The film is B/W. There is a cave. John and a little boy are around a campfire in the cave. Bad guys (or maybe the sheriff) enter and the boy hides. The lead guy has a rifle on John. I know that this is very little info, but, if any of Wayne's fans can help me out with the film's title, I'll be able to send Tony a copy of the film... it would positively make him the happiest man in the world.

Re: CowboyPal Trivia for July 12, 2007
From: RPITT
Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 2:35 PM
Jack and Al were half brothers. Let's see if I can get this straight. Jack, the oldest, was the son of Bart and Matilda Hoxie. Bart was killed by a kick from a horse. Matilda later married Scott Stone and Jack took the name John F. Stone. Alton Stone was the youngest of the Stone children. Over the years of wrangling, circus', and whatever, John changed his name back to Jack Hoxie and later entered the movie business. He also served in the service during WW1. After becoming a popular western actor, Jack got Alton Stone into the business, later changing his name to Al Hoxie because of the popularity of the Hoxie name.

Need your help finding a movie from my youth. I don't remember the actors or the title, but the plot centered around the location of crosses that would ultimately lead to a treasure. The ultimate plot twist was when the characters realized that by standing in a "cross position" in a rock opening with the sun behind them they would become the missing cross. Their shadow on the canyon wall was the key to the treasure. Great storyline!!!
I know I saw this in the movies. Probably in the 50's.
I hope you can help me with this one!!!

"Valley of Fire" (Copyright 1951 01 08 and released 1951 11) also Rex Allen sang it in "Redwood Forest Trail" (Copyright 1950 10 23 and released 1950 09 18). That puts Rex as the first to use it in a western.

Info on James Warren

Dear Cowboy Pal.
I'm searching for information about James Warren, (deceased) an old cowboy/movie actor of the nineteen forties and fifties. I would truly love to get connected with someone who knows his history from A to Z. I have his movie history, and information about some of his artistic ability. What I would like now is more personal information. Mr. Warren's first wife was Named Felice and lived in Newport Beach, CA. until her death. I understand there was a second wife who lived with him in Maui Hawaii. I am seeking any information you might have about second wife: occupation; name; age; is she still living?; Where does she live?; if dead, where did she die?; did she and James have children?; etc.
Thanks for this information.
Ethel Halstead
If you have information and wish to contact Ethel send email to:
