Nostalgia! Here's the way we used to enjoy going to the movies. Two shots of the Victory Theatre (anybody know in what town this theatre might have been?) in 1941 showing a double feature of Hoppy's "Texas Trail" (in re-release) and "Hold 'Em Navy" with Abbott and Costello. Notice the poster to the right of the boxoffice shows "Wells Fargo" with Joel McCrea as coming soon.
Jan(e) Clayton and Russell Hayden in a scene from "In Old Mexico". At the time this picture was taken (7/28/38) Russ and Jan were engaged to be married.
Actress Jan(e) Clayton (of Tularosa, NM) and her new husband Russell Hayden who was then working on the Hopalong Cassidy series as Lucky. The couple was married in October 9, 1938 in Tularosa. (L-R) Miss Leota Bradford, bridesmaid; Jan Clayton, Russell Hayden and Hayden's brother, F. J., of North Hollywood, CA. The Haydens Honeymooned in San Francisco.
Apologies for the water damage on this photo which came from Russell Hayden's private files which we acquired several years ago. As a matter of fact, all the above material came from those files. This gag-publicity shot of Jackie Coogan (left) and Russell Hayden (right) was made during the filming of their "Cowboy G-Men" TV series. ('52-'53). We believe the man in the middle, being handed money by Coogan and Hayden, to be director Reg Browne. Can anyone confirm or deny?
