The latest edition of this award-winning journal, published annually for attendees of the Lone Pine Film Festival, celebrates the centennials of two legendary Hollywood studios: Universal and Paramount. In keeping with the magazine's theme, each article focuses on films made in and around Lone Pine, the small California town nestled at the base of Mt. Whitney, just a stone's throw from the picturesque Alabama Hills. The opening piece, discussing Universal silent-era Westerns produced in the area, is followed by lengthy career studies of Thirties cowboy star Ken Maynard and Fifties cowboy star Audie Murphy. There's also a behind-the-scenes look at the production of TREMORS, Universal's 1990 sci-fi smash shot in Lone Pine. This is followed by a detailed analysis of THE ROUNDUP (1920), which not only marked Paramount's first excursion to Lone Pine but is also the earliest extant film lensed in the Alabama Hills. The studio's many Zane Grey adaptations are also explored in depth, and the issue closes out with a special portfolio of newly shot photos matched to vintage stills from a 1941 Hopalong Cassidy movie released by Paramount.This year's "Lone Pine in the Movies," like its predecessors, is profusely illustrated with more than 100 vintage stills, posters and lobby cards. At 112 pages in length, it's a treasure trove of film history that will appeal to casual fans and hard-core aficionados alike.

One hundred years ago, Leonard Franklin Slye was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. His family later moved to the small hamlet of Duck Run, where they worked a farm that produced a meager living. Young Len wanted a lot more from life, and he eventually got it-as Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys, hero to millions of American children and a star of both big-screen and small-screen productions. Roy began his storied career right here in Lone Pine, where his first starring film-Under Western Stars-was made in early 1938. We go into some detail on that motion picture in the article that follows. For better or worse, Roy's career crisscrossed and intersected that of Gene Autry, the screen's first singing-cowboy star and the top box-office draw of Republic Pictures, where both men plied their trade for years. In his 1976 book Hollywood Corral, film historian Don Miller recognized their unique connection and decided to cover Gene and Roy together. His essay, "The Men from Music Mountain," was of course included in the 1992 Riverwood Press reissue of Hollywood Corral. But both versions of Miller's invaluable history have been out of print for many years now, and we're confident that many people reading Don's essay here will be seeing it for the first time. Chris Langley, a former director of the Lone Pine Film Festival and still on the board of the Museum of Film History, has been contributing to Lone Pine in the Movies since we published the first issue in 2003. From that number-which, like Hollywood Corral, is long out of print-we have reprinted by popular demand his groundbreaking article on silent-era director Clarence Badger. Chris is also represented in these pages with his latest essay, an overview of the career of director Lesley Selander, a frequent visitor to Lone Pine whose Westerns shot here include the vehicles of such major Western stars as Buck Jones and Tim Holt, as well as many entries in the Hopalong Cassidy series starring William Boyd.This year, with his superb article on Brigham Young (1940), we enlist in our Writers Brigade a distinguished new contributor. James V. D'Arc, Ph.D., has been at Brigham Young University's L. Tom Perry Special Collections since 1976. He is curator of the BYU Motion Picture Archive, the BYU Film Music Archive and the Arts and Communications Archive, and also runs the BYU Motion Picture Archive Film Series.Jim is responsible for acquiring and assisting patrons with access to BYU's motion picture-related manuscript collections that include Cecil B. DeMille, Merian C. Cooper, Henry Koster, James Stewart, Andy Devine, Max Steiner, Ernest Gold, Hugo Friedhofer, Ken Darby, Jack Mathis, and the Republic Pictures Music Archive. Since 1995, he has produced limited edition original soundtrack albums from the Max Steiner Collection at BYU, with a total of 18 titles in print. He provided the audio commentary for Fox Home Entertainment's DVD of Brigham Young and can be seen on various documentaries, including American Epic: Cecil B. DeMille, Hello, I'm King Kong!, and The Ten Commandments: Making Miracles. Jim is the author of When Hollywood Came to Town: A History of Moviemaking in Utah (Layton, UT: Gibbs Smith, 2010), a hardcover book with more than 350 illustrations with behind the scenes stories and that also identifies locations for the dozens of great western classic films made in Utah since 1924. This is his second time at the Lone Pine Film Festival. He previously visited us in 2009, when he graciously allowed us to screen one of BYU's treasures, the classic 1943 Republic serial Daredevils of the West. Once again we're greatly in his debt, and we guarantee you'll enjoy his impeccably researched article.Finally, in responses to dozens-perhaps hundreds-of requests we've received over the last five years or so, we are including a revised and updated checklist of films made wholly or partially on locations in Lone Pine and the eastern Sierras.

With this 2016 edition of Lone Pine in the Movies we are saluting a few of the directors who labored long and hard to produce the vast array of entertaining movies we gather each fall to celebrate. This year's Festival, our 27th, will spotlight the work of some of the great, and maybe one or two not so great, directors who worked in the Western genre in the Lone Pine and Eastern Sierra region.

The 2019 edition of LONE PINE AND THE MOVIES, like its recent predecessors, chronicles the history of Western-movie production. Its cover story examines the wave of 1939 hits that brought big-budget "A" Westerns back to box-office prominence, with behind-the-scenes information on the making of STAGECOACH, DODGE CITY, JESSE JAMES, UNION PACIFIC, and others released during Hollywood's greatest year. Prolific "B"-Western director George Sherman, who began his 40-year career with two inexpensive horse operas shot partially at Lone Pine, is profiled with a detailed survey of his dozens of Westerns made for Republic Pictures. "The Lovely Ladies of Lone Pine" covers three favorite actresses whose careers are inextricably linked to the area: Beth Marion, Grace Bradley Boyd (Mrs. Hopalong Cassidy), and the late Peggy Stewart, a favorite guest at Lone Pine Film Festivals, who passed away earlier in 2019. "Revisiting FRONTIER DAYS" not only takes a detailed look at this favorite 1934 "B"-Western but tells the entire story of its star, Bill Cody, a marginal figure who built a career on Hollywood's Poverty Row and made a precarious living on the fringes of the film industry. A Don Kelsen photo essay matches present-day pictures of FRONTIER DAYS locations with frame captures from the original film. Finally, this issue contains a special section, "The Man Who Loved Westerns," devoted to the late Packy Smith, who organized the very first film festival devoted entirely to his favorite genre-and who, many years later, was instrumental in getting the Lone Pine Film Festival up and running. Packy, who died in late 2018, is remembered by some of his closest friends and fellow movie buffs.

With this issue of Lone Pine and the Movies we are diverging from our normal policy of presenting a variety of articles on Western films and personalities or Lone Pine as a major location for filming these Westerns, to devote the entire issue to one film, Republic Pictures' The Oregon Trail. Why this particular film, a B Western, not even a "stand-alone" but number four in a series of eight pictures scheduled for release in Republic's 1935-1936 season of Saturday matinee double features?

For those of you who may have noticed the change in the title of this publication (formerly known as Lone Pine IN the Movies), it coincides with the name change and mission statement of the museum located for the last decade in Lone Pine, California. The official name of the Museum is now "The Museum of Western Film History" and the decision to change the name of the journal aligns with the broader focus of the Museum by allowing articles and essays not specific to Lone Pine. For example, the articles on Tim McCoy and Bill Elliott included in this edition would not have fit in past issues because neither actor worked in the immediate Lone Pine area.Originally conceived as a companion publication for the annual Western Film Festival in Lone Pine, the "magazine" has evolved more toward a journal of Western film history. Our authors, working from rare research material and a vast array of private photo collections, strive for 100% accuracy. However, as with any human endeavor, errors may occur, and constructive reader feedback is welcome.In this edition, Western historian John P. Langelier makes his first appearance in these pages with his essay regarding U.S. military history as portrayed in the movies of Tim McCoy. Film historian and Western film scholar Francis M. Nevins presents an overview covering the career of Robert N. Bradbury, a director with many Lone Pine films among his credits. Richard W. Bann, a regular contributor to our pages, presents his essay on the RKO film "Stagecoach Kid" starring Tim Holt. Chris Langley, film historian/writer happens to be Lone Pine's resident authority on the films made in and around the Eastern Sierra region goes to Death Valley to explore filmmaking in that region. Ed Hulse contributed two essays about the primary source of many stories used in B Westerns and other B films, namely the pulp magazines. Professional photographer Don Kelsen once again shares with us some of the photos he has taken of the locations, some familiar and some not so familiar, allowing us to again be reminded of how little things have changed in the Lone Pine area since the 1920s when the first films made in the region hit the theaters.

A riveting story of ambition, greed, and genius unfolding at the dawn of modern America. This landmark biography brings into focus a fascinating brilliant entrepreneur—like Steve Jobs or Walt Disney, a true American visionary—who risked everything to realize his bold dream of a Hollywood empire. Although a major Hollywood studio still bears William Fox’s name, the man himself has mostly been forgotten by history, even written off as a failure. Now, in this fascinating biography, Vanda Krefft corrects the record, explaining why Fox’s legacy is central to the history of Hollywood. At the heart of William Fox’s life was the myth of the American Dream. His story intertwines the fate of the nineteenth-century immigrants who flooded into New York, the city’s vibrant and ruthless gilded age history, and the birth of America’s movie industry amid the dawn of the modern era. Drawing on a decade of original research, The Man Who Made the Movies offers a rich, compelling look at a complex man emblematic of his time, one of the most fascinating and formative eras in American history. Growing up in Lower East Side tenements, the eldest son of impoverished Hungarian immigrants, Fox began selling candy on the street. That entrepreneurial ambition eventually grew one small Brooklyn theater into a $300 million empire of deluxe studios and theaters that rivaled those of Adolph Zukor, Marcus Loew, and the Warner brothers, and launched stars such as Theda Bara. Amid the euphoric roaring twenties, the early movie moguls waged a fierce battle for control of their industry. A fearless risk-taker, Fox won and was hailed as a genius—until a confluence of circumstances, culminating with the 1929 stock market crash, led to his ruin.
