How B Westerns got their start When the Great Depression enveloped the United States, theater admissions fell by a third and

many of the 23,000 movie theaters that existed in 1930, from neighborhood houses to "deluxers",

were forced to close their doors. The ones that survived experimented with a "galaxy of appetiz-

ers" to attract audiences, from offering prizes that ranged from dishes and hams and automobiles,

to including stage shows and vaudeville acts as part of the evening's entertainment. However,

when small-time vaudeville lost its effectiveness, movie theaters experimented with two-for-one

tickets and free ladies' matinees. But in the end, the exhibition feature that made the greatest im-

pact on the industry was the "double feature", showing two movies for the price of one.

By 1935, 85% of American motion picture theaters were programming double features. A typical bill at this time lasted three hours or more, and included two features, cartoons, a newsreel, and previews of coming attractions. The "Big Five" Hollywood studios, each of which owned a theater chain at this time, found it especially difficult to satisfy the seemingly insatiable appetite of their theaters for new product.

The solution, they found, was to supply a prestige, big-budget film with a second inexpensive fea-ture. The big-budget film, the "A" movie placed at the top of the marquee, would pull in audiences by using major stars, quality scripts and high production values. The second feature, the budget "B" movie, was an entertaining but quickly made, shorter film that usually used a studio's standing sets, revolved around a formulaic plot and fit into an identifiable, easy-to-make genre such as a "Western", "Comedy", “Gangster” and "Horror".

Often called "cheapies", "quickies", "low-budget", or simply

"budget films", from the early 1930s to the early 1960s these

"B" movies played an important role in Hollywood, and roughly

75% of the pictures made during the 1930s alone are considered

to be in this category.

John Wayne John Wayne (born Marion Morrison) was the son of pharmacist Clyde Morrison and his

wife Mary. Marion delivered medicines for his father, sold newspapers and had an

Airedale dog named "Duke" (the source of his own nickname). He did well at school

both academically and in football. When he narrowly failed admission to Annapolis he

went to USC on a football scholarship 1925-7. Tom Mix got him a summer job as a

prop man in exchange for football tickets. On the set he became close friends with

director John Ford for whom, among others, he began doing bit parts, some billed as

John Wayne. His first featured film was Men Without Women (1930). After more than 70

low-budget westerns and adventures, Wayne's career was stuck in a rut until Ford cast

him in Stagecoach (1939), the movie that made him a star.

Gene Autry Born in Tioga, Texas on September 29, 1907, Gene Autry was raised in Texas and

Oklahoma. Discovered by humorist Will Rogers, in 1929 Autry was billed as

"Oklahoma's Yodeling Cowboy" at KVOO in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He gained a popular

following, a recording contract with Columbia Records in 1929, and soon after he

performed on the "National Barn Dance" for radio station WLS in Chicago. Autry first

appeared on screen in 1934 and up to 1953 popularized the musical Western and

starred in 93 feature films. In 1940 theater exhibitors of America voted Autry the fourth

biggest box office attraction, behind Mickey Rooney, Clark Gable, and Spencer Tracy.

Roy Rogers Roy Rogers was an American actor and singer born on November 5, 1911 in

Cincinnati, Ohio. Known as the “King of the Cowboys” for starring in musical

westerns, he appealed to fans for his good-guy hero image. They also loved his

sidekick palomino, Trigger, and dog Bullet. Rogers appeared on TV, radio, records

and film from the 1930s-50s. In 1944 Rogers appeared in his first film with actress

Dale Evans. The Yellow Rose of Texas sparked an irresistible on-screen chemistry

between the two, and Evans quickly gained the nickname "Queen of the Cowgirls," to

match the moniker of her on-and-off-screen sweetheart. Between the years of 1944 and

1951, they appeared in nearly 30 films together.

Santa Monica, California, with his family at the age of eight, and became a naturalized

Gary Cooper Gary Cooper was educated at a prestigious school in England. Injured in a car accident, while attending Wesleyan College, he convalesced on his dad's ranch, perfecting the riding skills that would see him through many a future Western film. After trying to make a living at political cartooning, Cooper was encouraged by friends to seek employment as a cowboy extra in movies. Agent Nan Collins felt she could get more prestigious work for the handsome Cooper, and, in 1926, he won a role in 'The Winning of Barbara Worth'. Consigned mostly to Westerns by the 1950s (including the classic 'High Noon'), Cooper retained his box-office stature. Privately, however, he was plagued with painful recurring illnesses.
