Lash LaRue, King of the Bullwhip ReviewEmpire Publishing presents "Lash LaRue, King of the Bullwhip" (Hardcover) -
Chuck Thornton & David Rothel, Lash LaRue (June 14, 1917-May 21, 1996)
was an actor noted for his roles in low-budget Westerns...he began acting in films
in 1944 as Al LaRue, appearing in two musicals and a serial before being given a
role in a Western film that would result in him being cast in a cowboy persona for
virtually the rest of his career...LaRue was given the name "Lash" because of the
18 foot long bullwhip he used to help bring down the bad guys...the popularity of
his first role as the "Cheyenne Kid," a sidekick of singing cowboy hero Eddie Dean,
not just brandishing a whip but using it expertly to disarm villains, paved the way for
La Rue to be featured in his own series of Western films...after appearing in all three
of the Eddie Dean Cinecolor singing Westerns in 1945 - 6, he starred in quirky
B-Westerns from 1947 to 1951, at first for Poverty Row studio PRC, later for producer
Ron Ormond...La Rue developed his image as a cowboy hero dressed all in black
and inherited from Buster Crabbe a comic sidekick in the form of "Fuzzy Q. Jones"
played by the great Al St. John...LaRue also made frequent personal appearances at
small-town movie theaters showing his films, during his film heyday of 1948 - 1951,
with the result that he was the only cowboy star most children of the time ever got to
see and meet in person. His skillful displays of stunts with his whip live on movie theater
stages also convinced young Western fans that there was at least one cowboy hero who
could do in real life the same things he did on screen....here's a chance to check out Lash's
complete filmography Western films.
TABLE OF CONTENTS: (Chapter, Title and Page Numbers)
Acknowledgments - Dana Cox (who may be Lash's biggest fan) for his
special interest and contributions...also to our "pack rat" buddy, Sammy Fulp,
