COWBOY OUTLAW BOB STEELE GETS A SECOND CHANCE TRYING TO CHANGE HIS WAYS...but GEORGE HAYES WON'T HAVE IT!First off, this is one of my favorite Bob Steele Western Adventures to watch. He's a bit forgotten today but he is still a fun watch from the early era of sound and not a bad actor as well! This one has the benefit of a pre-Gabby Hayes. George played plenty of bad men and did it quite well. You can watch a mostly complete version of this wild west oater on YouTube if desired. Now, on with the show...A really great looking and quite scarce ORIGINAL TITLE LOBBY CARD from Tiffany Studios from the new sound era of the early 1930's..."The Nevada Buckaroo". Originally released back in 1931 this story features a nice cast of players. It takes place in the late 1800's. A gang of outlaws led by Cherokee Williams played by George Hayes holds up the local stage line outside of Rattlesnake Gulch. The gang consists of Slade [Ed Brady], Guy [Merill McCormick] and the Nevada Kid played by a quite dapper Bob Steele. One of the coaches riders is JoAnn Clinton played by pretty Dorothy Dix. She's a bit shook up by the gang's intentions towards her. The Kid is not so impressed with Slade's actions since it's the stage payroll monies they are after. This all ends up badly for the Kid as the three escape but he's caught and sent off to territorial prison. Months later, the town is making up a petition for Rattlesnake Gulch to be placed onto the county seat. Cherokee intercepts the document[which has been signed by everyone in town] and changes the request to have the Kid released from jail by a governor's pardon...he's moved and it's granted! The only thing is that when he returns to town he's hated by everyone there...except perhaps JoAnn. He's given the opportunity to become the stage line's armed guard. This doesn't sit well with Cherokee and the others as they went to great lengths to spring the Kid...and not to go straight! The gang has plans to steal a gold shipment that is being carried on the next trip and the Kid will not be a part of the robbery. At the last moment, Cherokee backs out of the deal but the two outlaws Slade and Gyp go without him. The passenger is killed and the gold is gone...the Kid is put into jail for his believed part in the crime. He asks Cherokee to return the gold and clear his name but he tells him he wasn't part of it. After thought, Cherokee decides to go after Slade and Gyp and bring the gold back. this proves fatal as He arrives in town aboard the stage dead...he's been knifed in the back! The Kid makes the decision to go after the two who don't seem to mind who they kill. What happens next is a mystery that you must solve on your own. This is one of those minor studio films that is unusual and quite good...and has fallen thru the cracks of film history. Others involved here are good names like Glen Cavender as the sheriff who helps the Kid to escape his hanging fate. Tina Menard, John Elliott, Billy Engle and Artie Ortego as Alex who has a big mouth!. This one is very much in the Public Domain and can be found on DVD relatively easy [try Sinister Cinema]. A must watch for fans of the early sound era or just good Western Adventure.This is a scarce ORIGINAL TITLE LOBBY CARD from this early Western Drama from Tiffany Pictures. It measures a full 11 X 14 inches and features a quite dapper Bob Steele...six-gun drawn and ready for Action! On the left side of this piece is an inset image of Dorothy Dix. This piece is in a very good condition with great color. There are corner pinholes as well as a bruise and slight dings. Small tear located in the right side border edge center. No tape or repairs are present. There are nice looking pictures in the gallery for you to check out. In my opinion this is one of THE BEST CARDS IN THE SET! A very scarce and desirable piece from one of the early Western Adventures produced in the new sound era in motion pictures.
