“Plainsman and LadyIs His Second
Super Western for William Elliott
Roy and
Kids’ Top Stars
In Olney Films
♦ William Elliott, once Wild Bill
Elliott, built up one of the screen’s
biggest followings as Red Ryder
and then quit the quickies to de-
mand and get starring in Class A,
spectacle westerns. The first was
“In Old Sacramento” and the sec-
ond is “The Plainsman and the
Lady,” which comes to the Westex
Theater this month.
The top singing cowboy stars
come to the Olney Theater in films
slated for the second half of this
month to make it a bright January
for the younger generation of fans.
Roy Rogers’ “Roll On, Texas
Moon,” which was originally
booked for last month but had
to be replaced that time, is sche-
duled for a three-day run.
And one of Gene Autry’s older
films, “Gold Mine in the Sky,”
come back as a reissue to close
out the month.
Complete bookings for the two-
week period are announced by the
management as follows:
Jan. 17-18, “Lone Star Moon-
light,” with Ken Curtis and Joan
Barton; Jan. 19-21, “Singing in the
Corn,” with Judy Canova; Jan.
22-23, “Decoy” with Jean Gillie
and Edward Norris; Jan. 24-25,
“Silver Range,” with Johnnie Mack
Brown; Jan. 26-28, “Roll On, Texas
Moon,” with Roy Rogers and Dale
Evans; Jan. 29-30, “Pilgrim Lady,”
with Adele Mara and Wareen
Douglas; Jan. 31-Feb. 1, “Gold
Mine in the Sky,” with Gene
Autry and Smiley Burnette.
Again Republic Pictures has not
spared the company payroll to
give Elliott a fine supporting cast.
The list of employes for “Plains-
man” is headed by Vera Ruba
Ralston who apparently will por-
tray the lady. The story deals with
the days of the brief-lived but
adventurous pony express.
The Westex bookings for the
last half of January are announced
by the management as follows:
Jan. 17-18, “The Plainsman and
the Lady,” with William Elliott;
Jan. 10-21-, “Two Years Before the
Mast,” with Alan Ladd and Brian
Donlevy; Jan. 22-23, “I’ve Always
Loved You,” with Marie Ouspen-
skya and Philip Dorn; Jan. 24-25,
“The Stranger,” with Edward G.
Robinson and Loretta Young; Jan.
26-28, “No Leave, No Love,” with
Van Johnson and Marie Wilson;
Jan. 29-30, “Wife Wanted” with
Kay Francis and Paul Cavanaugh;
Jan. 31-Feb. 1, “The Verdict,” with

Lorre.
