 (From Old Corral image collection) Ol' Charlie King was still around as the B western began to fade ... and he was still menacing Steele in three of these PRC cheapies. Here he is with the drop on the moustached hero and pretty Lorraine Miller in AMBUSH TRAIL (PRC, 1946). Steele is wearing a shirt with the arrow pockets and blue jeans.  (Courtesy of Les Adams) Above from left to right are Eva Puig, Bob Steele, Gertrude Chorre and Carl Mathews in a crop/blowup from Steele's THE NAVAJO KID (PRC, 1945).  (Courtesy of Les Adams) In Steele's PRC oaters - as well as the earlier NORTHWEST TRAIL mountie film - Bob rode a horse named Coco (recognizable by the blonde mane and tail). The above is a crop from a lobby card from SIX GUN MAN (PRC, 1946) with sidekick Syd Saylor and Steele on Coco. In THE NAVAJO KID (PRC, 1945), Steele is looking for a new horse and Saylor refers to his new mount as Coco. Lynn and Shery Jespersen are horse breeders and fans of the Morgan horse. Shery sent the following tidbit: "The stallion Dancing Don (Sireson x Kay Carma), a chestnut with flaxen mane and tail was the mount of Bob Steele in his Western movies." from The Morgan Horse (official Morgan Breed Journal and magazine), July 1961, p 38. |
