Lone Pine In
The Movies (2011) [Paperback]
by James V. D'Arc, Ed Hulse, Chris Langley & Don Miller

AVAILABLE OCTOBER 6th
Presenting
over 100 pages of rare photos and fact-filled articles written by
noted film historians who have chronicled filmmaking in Lone
Pine.
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. Roy began his storied career in
Lone Pine, where his first starring film—Under Western Stars—was
made in early 1938. In two excellent essays by Ed Hulse and Don
Miller, we examine in some detail that motion picture and other
aspects of his career.
Chris
Langley has been contributing to Lone Pine in the Movies since
we published the first issue in 2003. From that number we have
reprinted by popular demand his groundbreaking article on silent-era
director Clarence Badger.
This
year, with his superb article on the film Brigham Young (1940),
we enlist in our Writers Brigade a distinguished new contributor.,
James V. D’Arc. Jim 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.
Also
included is a revised list of films made wholly or partially on
locations in Lone Pine and the eastern Sierras
