notations in unknown hand on verso. B/w, 8x10¼ overall, 7¾x9½ image, one
surface, printed on cardstock. Captioned: "Lash LaRue" with a Charlotte,
North Carolina address. Cowboy star Alfred "Lash" LaRue (1917-1996, born
in Gretna, Louisiana),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. Lightly toned, creased and bowed. Light scratches on
image (not visible head-on). Otherwise in fine condition.
