This is a good week to be a Johnny Mack Brown fan.
Warner Archive is serving up John Mack Brown in King Vidor’s “all-talking” Billy The Kid (1930). This A Western co-stars Wallace Beery and Kay Johnson.
Then there’s Monogram Cowboy Collection Volume 3: Johnny Mack Brown. The set boasts nine Johnny Mack pictures: The Ghost Rider (1943), The Stranger From Pecos (1943), Six Gun Gospel (1943), Outlaws Of Stampede Pass (1943), Range Law (1944), Navajo Trail (1945), Flame Of The West (1945), Shadows On The Range (1946) and Law Of The Panhandle (1950).
JOHNNY MACK made a personal appearance in Salisbury, N.C.’s STATE THEATRE on March 20, 1948.
Thanks for that, Mike. I’ve tried to track down more cowboy star appearances, but haven’t had a lot of luck.
The pictures you see of guys like Tim Holt surrounded by kids in some theater lobby make me wish I’d been born a couple decades earlier.
