4/15 “OLD MEETS NEW” WESTERN DOUBLE FEATURE. Two fun and offbeat western features from Republic in which Old West settings encounter more modern inventions like automobiles, radios, phonographs, airplanes and more:
THE OLD BARN DANCE (1938). Cast: Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Joan Valerie, Sammy McKim, Ivan Miller, the Maple City Four. Director: Joseph Kane. Gene and Smiley are horse sellers who are forced to tangle with some slick characters trying to convince the local townspeople to buy and use tractors instead. This musical western is an unusual but entertaining mix of cowboys, radio broadcasting and a few surprises.
OVERLAND STAGE RAIDERS (1938). Cast: The Three Mesquiteers (John Wayne, Ray “Crash” Corrigan, Max Terhune), Louise Brooks, Anthony Marsh, John Archer, Gordon Hart. Director: George Sherman. To prevent gold shipments from being hijacked by stage bandits, the Mesquiteers buy an airplane to safely fly the gold to its destination…but the crooks don’t give up so easily! An exciting entry in this popular series.
