Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1940, when Johnny Bond went to work for Gene Autry as a member of the Jimmy Wakely Trio, Autry was arguably the most popular entertainer in the country. He was Number Four on the list of Hollywood's Top Ten Box Office Stars; he had sold millions of records as one of the most popular recording artists of the 1930s; and his Melody Ranch Show, heard weekly over the CBS Radio Network, sold billions of sticks of Doublemint Chewing Gum for its sponsor during a 17-year run. He also performed before sellout crowds, two shows a day for 21 straight days, in New York's Madison Square Garden. Johnny Bond was one of only a few members of the Autry troupe to participate in every phase of Gene's incredibly successful entertainment career. And he has a story to tell-lots of them, actually. Stories about a time before super highways when most roads were two lanes and went through the middle of all the towns, large and small, and when busses were not air conditioned. At a time when there were only half a dozen cities in this country with populations in excess of one million, Gene Autry took his show to America's heartland doing the "one nighters," those engagements booked just far enough apart to enable performers to drive from one venue to the next in a single day. Johnny Bond was along for the ride, and he tells what it was like when Gene Autry was at his peak in the late 1940s, having to push through crowds going from bus to auditorium before the show, and later to fight the same crowds back out to the bus after the show. He also describes those last "one nighters" in the late 1950s when even with a small group of musicians there were more people on the stage than in the audience. So buckle up and go along for the ride! You will become part of a unique experience that has become what we refer to today as "Americana." This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Clarence E. Mulford spent his creative years, writing a vast saga of interlocking novels and stories, most of them dealing with the Bar-20 ranch and the men who called it home, chief among them a certain Hopalong Cassidy. Eventually Mulford's works became the nominal source of 66 Hollywood films, made between 1935 and 1948, and a 52-episode TV series (1952-54), all starring William Boyd as a character with the same name but very different from Mulford's. Hopalong Cassidy: On the Page, On the Screen covers each of Mulford's books and each of the Cassidy theatrical films in full detail. A comprehensive index enables readers interested in almost anyone or anything linked to the books or films-including eventual stars like Robert Mitchum, George Reeves, Jan Clayton and Barbara Britton-to find the relevant material instantly. It began in the waking dreams of a young civil servant in Brooklyn who spent evenings, weekends and vacations putting into words an old West he had imagined but never seen. Story by story, novel by novel he created a vast canvas centering around a Texas ranch he called the Bar-20 and the men who made it the focus of their loyalty, chief among them a red-headed liquor-swilling young puncher with a noticeable limp, Hopalong Cassidy. Clarence E. Mulford (1883-1956) was one of the most remarkable Western writers America has produced. His fictional universe is an immense saga, written over a third of a century, in which Cassidy and the other main characters go adventuring, fall in love, marry and have children, grow old and eventually take part in the adventures of the next generation. Mulford's life and world are explored in detail in the first several chapters of this book. In 1935, the now prosperous author signed the contracts that brought his world and characters to America's movie theaters-or at least so he hoped. But, except for a handful of character and place names, the 66 Hopalong Cassidy movies, made between 1935 and 1948, starring William Boyd as Cassidy, turned out to have almost nothing in common with Mulford's fiction. Those films captivated audiences on their first release. The finest of them were hailed by Western lovers as classics of the genre and, restored for satellite and DVD, continue to excite viewers today. This book covers all 66 Cassidy movies in depth. The final chapter recounts what happened in the late 1940s and early 1950s when Hoppymania swept the country as the films migrated to the infant medium of television, generating new celebrity and a huge fortune for William Boyd and quite a bit of money for Mulford too. With a comprehensive checklist of Mulford's writings and a complete filmography providing cast and credits for every Cassidy movie and every episode of the later TV series, Hopalong Cassidy: On the Page, On the Screen is the definitive book on a fascinating subject.
