Inscribed Lobby Card signed: "To Clint/Mary-Ellen Kay", ""To Clint"/Rex Allen", in black felt
tip, colorized, 14x11. REX ALLEN (1920-1999) was one of the last of the singing cowboys,
but got his start in music, not acting. He began playing fiddle when he was 11 years old; he
also had a short-lived career in rodeo, which ended after he was injured by a bull. Allen
returned to music and became a popular singer on National Barn Dance on Chicago's WLS
radio station. He released his first album in 1949, the same year that he appeared in his first
movie, Republic's The Arizona Cowboy. Originally considered a possible replacement for
Roy Rogers, Allen went on to appear in over 30 movies and TV shows between 1949 and
1986, including Republic's TV series Frontier Doctor (1958-1959). He was in 12 movies
with Slim Pickens in the 1950s (as well as an episode of Frontier Doctor). Audiences from
the 1960s on may be more familiar with Allen's voice though: He narrated a number of
Disney films including The Legend of Lobo (1962), The Incredible Journey (1963) and
Charlie the Lonesome Cougar (1967), as well as narrating the 1973 Hanna-Barbera adaptation
of Charlotte's Web. Allen continued recording into the 1970s and scored a hit in 1962 with
Don't Go Near the Indians, which peaked at No. 4 on the country charts and No. 17 on
the Billboard Hot 100. Actress MARY ELLEN KAY (b. 1929) acted primarily through the
1950s and 1960s, appearing in a long list of Westerns, including Streets of Ghost Town
(1950), Silver City Bonanza (1951), and Border Saddlemates (1952). Kay also had a
recurring role on the 1950s series The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show as Joan Jansen.
She retired from acting in 1966, making her last appearance in an episode of This is the Life.
