LASH LARUE
Handwritten note signed as "Your Whip Poppin Pal Lash Larue"
Autograph Note signed: "Lash LaRue", 1 page, 5x3 card. "To
Sonny", in full: "If you really like Westerns. You have Good
Taste. Your Whip Poppin Pal". Cowboy star Alfred "Lash" LaRue
(1917-1996), who was known as "King of the Bullwhip", introduced both
the whip and the black outfit for which he became known in the 1945 film,
Song of Old Wyoming. He had small roles in Eddie Dean westerns at PRC
studios in the early 1940s. On the strength of his voluminous fan mail, he was
elevated to his own starring series in 1946. Billed as "Lash" in honor of his
skill with a 15-foot bullwhip, the actor played a black-clad do-gooder named
Cheyenne, while his comic sidekick was Al "Fuzzy" St. John. From 1946-1952,
LaRue starred in 26 westerns. In 1951, he headlined the 15-minute TV series
Lash of the West, in which he would introduce and narrate clips from his
earlier films. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso (no show through). Otherwise,
fine condition.
