Howdy Buckaroos and Buckarettes!

It’s time once again to ride over to the ol’ Bar-M (NCSU McKimmon Center) for a really big B-Western Film night. Plan to join us on Thursday, January 18 at 6:45PM

Our film line-up will surely keep you warm on this long winter’s night:

Hopalong Cassidy with George “Gabby” Hayes (Art © Jim Sanders)

The first feature is Mystery Man (United Artists, 1944) Starring William “Hopalong Cassidy” Boyd, Andy Clyde, Jimmy Rogers and Don Costello. Directed by George Archainbaud.

We’ll follow Mystery Man with The Texas Kid (Monogram, 1943) Starring Johnny Mack Brown, Raymond Hatton, Shirley Patterson and Marshall Reed and directed by Lambert Hillyer.

We will FINALLY see the last chapter of “Valley of Vanishing Men” starring Wild Bill Elliott, and we’ll view the first chapter of a new serial “Batman”. Produced in 1943, the series stars Lewis Wilson, Douglas Croft, and J. Carrol Nash as “?”.

PLEASE NOTE: In the event the weather takes a turn for the slippery worst, if Wake County Schools are closed, we will not have a meeting.

Documentary film maker Dan Gagliasso said of Roy Rogers: “He was always on the side of right and always stuck up for the weak and oppressed. Roy Rogers represented what we hoped America would always stand for.” Roy was not only a movie star, but a radio and TV star in addition to his recording career.

Our first feature is “Sunset in the West” (Republic, 1950) in TrueColor. Starring Roy Rogers, Estelita Rodriguez, Penny Edwards, Gordon Jones and Will Wright. Directed by William Witney. This is a digitally restored print in High Definition. This viewing might even look better than when it premiered on the BIG screen 67 years ago!

The second feature will be “Bordertown Gun Fighters” starring Bill Elliott and Goldsboro’s own Anne Jeffreys. (Republic, 1943) Also starring George Hayes, Ian Keith and Harry Woods. Directed by Howard Bretherton.

And, the Trailblazers will be here to celebrate Roy in song.

See you there.
