True Tale
Of The
Old West

Movie audiences who see Co.
lumbia's 1.-THE Doolins of Okla
homa" at the Pasco theatre In
Pasco Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday will not witness q
''hokked.up" saga Of Western
badmen.
The Doolin Gang, which rob-
bed banks and held up trains,
leaving q trail of deceased citi-
zens across the Cimarron coun.
try during the late 1800s, Is
classed by historians as more
colorful and dealy than either
the James Boys or the Dalton,
who preceded them.
Producer Harry Joe Brown por.
trayed their character, PERSONAL
tiles and bloodletting tendencies
as truthfully as is technically
possible In his cinema story.
Brown, q specialist In the field
Of hairy.chested Westerns, felt
that Wild Bill Doolin deserved
writing credit, 80 well did the
outlaws career and character fit
! into the requirements Of a movie
screenplay.
Wild Bill. although 4 law.
breaker and deserving Of his
fate, was not, according to au.
thorities, q murderous fellow. It
Is well known that he saved a
pursuing u. S. marshall from be-
ing bushwhacked by one Of the
more vicious members Of his
band and made several attempts
to desert his companions and
lead a respectable life with his
wife.
Both Brown and Randolph
Scott, who plays the starring
role as Wild Bill Doolin, did not
wish to make a hero out Of q
heel, and. In so doing, make
"heavies" Of the forces of law
and order, which, in this case,
would be the heroic little group
Of u. S. marshals who finally
eradicated the territory Of the
marauders.
Doolin apparently was a
simple cowboy who, failing to
readjust himself to the breaking
up of the great cattle ranges into
small farms, fell in with bad
companions and became bad

tory from 1892 to 1896.
Then there were the real her.
oes, u. S. Marshals Thomas and
Nix, who, almost single-handed
stilled the deadly guns Of the
Doolin Gang. They needed nc
gliding by movie writer's; their
records are more dramatic thar

So producer Brown needed
little embellishing for his drama
using. only a story line to holt
together actual incidents in thu
