Time For Tex

From Grand National Films in 1937, we present Tex Ritter and his horse White Flash in "Riders of the Rockies."

In this one, Tex and his pals join the Rangers to do battle with cattle rustlers along the border.

This picture, with screenplay by Robert Emmett and Norman Leslie,photography by Gus Peterson, and music by Frank Sanucci,  was supervised by Lindsley Parsons and directed by Robert North Bradbury.


Joining Tex in the cast were Louise Stanley, Horace Murphy, Snub Pollard (?!), Earl Dwire, Charles King, Yakima Canutt, Martin Garralaga, and Jack Rockwell, along with Tex Ritter's Tornadoes.

An Edward F. Finney production.

Time For An Early Rita Hayworth Movie, Folks!

From 1937, here's Tex Ritter, along with his horse White Flash, starring in the Grand National picture "Trouble In Texas."  While Tex sings "Down the Colorado Trail," Rita Cansino (who would soon become better known as Rita Hayworth), as a government agent, investigates as series of mysterious rodeo deaths.  As the movie progresses, Tex is on the hunt for the gang that rubbed out his brother.  This picture, with screen play by Robert Emmett,  was produced by Edward L. Alperson, supervised by Lindsley Parsons,  and directed by Robert North Bradbury.
