Войти для для отчёта о проблеме. Lash La Rue. Биография. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Alfred "Lash" LaRue (June 15, 1917 – May 21, 1996) was a popular western motion picture star of the 1940s and 1950s. He had exceptional skill with the bullwhip and taught Harrison Ford how to use a bullwhip for the Indiana Jones movies. LaRue was one of the first recipients of the Golden Boot Awards in 1983. LaRue was originally screen tested by Warner Bros. but was rejected because he looked too much like Humphrey Bogart, then one of the studio's contract stars . He began acting in films in 1944 (at age 27) as Al LaRue, appearing in two musicals and a serial before being given a role in a Western film that would result in his being cast in a cowboy persona for virtually the rest of his career. He was given the name Lash because of the 18-foot (5.5 m)-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 LaRue to be featured in his own series of Western films. After appearing in all three of the Eddie Dean Cinecolor singing Westerns in 1945-46, he starred in quirky B-westerns from 1947 to 1951, at first for Poverty Row studio PRC, then for Eagle-Lion when they took over the studio, and later for producer Ron Ormond. He developed his image as the cowboy hero Lash LaRue, dressed all in black, and inherited from Buster Crabbe a comic sidekick in the form of "Fuzzy Q. Jones" played by Al St. John. LaRue played the Cheyenne Kid sidekick in about 8 films, before he starred in his own film series, playing a character actually named "Marshall Lash LaRue". Those 11 films (from 1948-1951) are the ones that western movie fans refer to as the "Lash LaRue" film series. He was different from the usual cowboy hero of the era: dressed in black, he spoke with a "city tough-guy" accent somewhat like that of Humphrey Bogart, whom he physically resembled. His use of a bullwhip, however, was what set him apart from bigger cowboy stars such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. His influence was felt throughout the dying medium of B-westerns; for example, he had an imitator, Whip Wilson, who starred in his own brief series, and even Roy Rogers started picking up and using a bullwhip in some of his Republic Studios Westerns made in the same period. He also made frequent personal appearances at small-town movie theaters that were showing his films during his heyday of 1948-51, a common practice for cowboy stars in those days. However, his skillful displays of stunts with his whip, done 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. He continued working in films and television until he retired in 1990. LaRue died of emphysema in 1996 (age 78) at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, and was cremated at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. He was survived by his wife, Frances Bramlett LaRue, three sons and three daughters. PreachingToday.com - The Story of a Profitable Subscription Site. CHALLENGE Christianity Today International has been running a profitable free content site online since 1994. Although the site appealed to a broad consumer audience, market research showed that a solid 20% of visitors were professional pastors. Also, the organization had a history of success selling offline resources to pastors, such as books, audio-tapes and CD-ROMs. So, after a great deal of internal thought and discussion, the organization decided to take the plunge and experiment with a subscription-based site. John LaRue, VP Internet Research & Development, says, "Advertising is good for this market segment, but we didn't need another product to generate traffic to sell it. We already have other areas for church leaders where we're selling ads. In fact like anybody else we tend to have more space online then we can sell. I kept asking if this should be free, but the market research gave us an indication of what percent of the audience would pay and the numbers were really good compared to other products -- both online and print." CAMPAIGN Despite the fact that Christianity Today has been in business since 1956 and as LaRue says, "We understand our niche pretty well", the team did not make any assumptions going into the development process. First they carefully surveyed pastors both by direct mail and by email. LaRue says, "The mailed version was a four-page traditional survey with a whole bunch of ideas. This helped develop which concepts came out on top. The online one was smaller and helped refine the features." Results showed that pastors were willing to pay for easy-access to illustrative stories, quotes or facts (known as "illustrations") that they could incorporate into their sermons to bring their message to life. LaRue says, "Pastors are constantly in need of materials." So, the new subscription site -- entitled PreachingToday.com -- was built around a database of 3,500 illustrations fully searchable by topic and bible verse. Plus, paid subscribers would receive 10 new illustrations per week via email. Additional content included an online journal featuring skill-building articles written by some of the best- known preachers in America. The site launched late 1999 with a direct mail campaign. The initial piece was a double postcard offering a 30-day free trial for $39.95. Copy included endorsements from a range of "celebrity preachers" to appeal to both evangelical and mainstream pastors. In addition, LaRue promoted the site online by placing promotional banners on sister-site ChristianityToday.com and including announcements in the site's appropriate free email newsletters. PreachingToday.com's visitors who weren't sure about paying for content had the option of receiving a free newsletter featuring just one weekly illustration and tantalizing headlines for the remaining nine. Buyers had their choice of three paid subscription levels: Basic (just the ten weekly emailed illustrations) at $19.95, Enhanced for a bit more and Premium (including the searchable database) for $39.95. After a year, PreachingToday.com raised its premium price to $49.95 to reflect the fact that the site's content had doubled in size. The site began renewing initial subscribers in October 2000 by sending an emailed, opt-out announcement 30 days before automatically billing subscribers' credit cards for another year. LaRue's "wonderful" customer service person followed up on all expired and changed cards via email and phone. RESULTS LaRue says, "We exceeded expectations the first year. PreachingToday.com is budgeted to generate more than $400,000 in revenue with a gross margin of 25% for the 2001 fiscal year. We currently have 7,500 paid subscribers and have seen no slow down in the growth curve since we launched." 95% of subscribers chose the Premium subscription (formerly $39.95, now $49.95.) About 5% of subscribers chose the $19.95 Basic subscription. Almost none chose the middle, "enhanced" subscription, so this option was dropped fairly early on. The site's renewal rate is currently a healthy 60-70%. Traffic has steadied to about 42,000 home page impressions a month, with four to ten times that many impressions on other subscribers-only pages. LaRue says, "We know pastors are going in there." Direct mail campaigns were definitely successful; however, LaRue learned not to put a phone number on the postcards. He says, "Registering people by phone became a customer service nightmare. Some people thought they could sign up for it but they didn't have to be online." Now all responses are driven to the Web site, and from there visitors can find a number to call customer service if they want to.

Check out what's clicking today in entertainment. EXCLUSIVE: Actress Eva LaRue, the ex-wife of late “All My Children” star John Callahan, has been reeling in the wake of his untimely death in March.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

  • Bobby Copeland – World’S No
    Bobby Copeland – World’s No. 1 writer of books on western films (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on February 11, 2013) I often dismay that we have people in Oak Ridge who are famous on the national or international stage, but totally taken for granted and most often unrecognized by local media or even given credit for their achievements in any way in their hometown of Oak Ridge. Shame on us! Many Oak Ridge scientists are world renowned. Many dedicated servant leaders occupy prestigious positions on technical society boards (occasionally these folks will get a small amount of recognition when they are elected to office). Many inventors are granted patents (we should have a directory of patent holders!). Many national and international award winners get only sparse recognition and even less lasting appreciation for their hard work. Still, we do better at recognizing technical achievements than we do some others. And that is understandable, given Oak Ridge’s high percentage of highly qualified and successful scientists and engineers. Occasionally we should raise up one of our own who has done something unique and made a contribution to the world that is highly unusual. Such a person is Bobby Copeland. Remember, if it is to be, it is up to me! So, I have found an example of someone who has carved out a niche for himself on the world stage of a particular special interest group…western film stars. I dare say only a handful of Oak Ridgers know about his collection of western film paraphernalia or his authorship of 22 books, and over 200 article for various publications.

  • Lyrics to the Top 100 Western Songs
    Lyrics to the Top 100 Western Songs As chosen by members of the Western Writers Association and sung by various artists Skip Skipson www.western100.com [email protected] Foreword Several years ago, the Western Writers of America surveyed its membership to choose the Top 100 Western Songs. The list was presented at the WWA’s Annual Convention in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was reprinted on the website of American Cowboy magazine, where I happened to see it in July, 2014. The list looked interesting, so I spent the Fourth of July weekend searching for the songs, their lyrics, and something about their background. By Monday evening I had made a pretty good start at tracking this information down, and I had become hooked on the music and its fascinating history. I created a comprehensive website, with links to YouTube versions of all the songs, to the lyrics as sung in the YouTubes, and to information on the backgrounds of the songs. You can see it at www.western100.com This document is a reprint of the lyrics as they appear on the website, presented alpha‐ betically by title. It also includes a list of the songs by their original rank. The lyrics on the website have been meticulously transcribed from the YouTube versions referenced there. Those presented here are a close match to those on the website, but do not include every update and correction made there. Nevertheless, they are very close to the lyrics as sung in one important recording of the song. Please note that there can be many variations in the lyrics of a song, due to varying inter‐ pretations by historians, arrangers, and artists.

  • Wild Bill” Elliott I Suppose That Every Boy That Grew up in 40S and 50S Was a Big Fan of the Saturday Afternoon Western Matinee
    “Wild Bill” Elliott I suppose that every boy that grew up in 40s and 50s was a big fan of the Saturday afternoon western matinee. I can remember as just a tow-headed kid in Arkansas going out in the cotton fields on Saturday morning and picking 12 pounds of cotton to get 25¢. The price of the ticket to get in was 15¢ and the popcorn and coke were a nickel a piece. It was pure childhood heaven. And I loved all those old cowboy stars that now are riding the big range in the sky, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Lash LaRue, Johnny Mac Brown, The Durango Kid and too many more to mention all of them. But, I do believe my absolute favorite was “Wild Bill” Elliott. I have visited many of their gravesites and I promise I am not going to write about all of them. Wild Bill was born as Gordon Nance in Pattonsburg, Missouri, and the date has been clearly identified in records as October 16, 1903, or 1904. He was the real thing, unlike some of my other favorites. He grew up on a ranch as a riding, roping, cattle busting youngster idolizing William Hart. He attended Rockingham College, but the lure of Hollywood was just too great. In California he enrolled in the Pasadena Community Playhouse for stage performances. A talent scout signed him for movies, but few of them came anywhere near westerns, and he was a far cry from an overnight sensation. He did become the most prolific of the ‘B’ grade western star in Hollywood history.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Lee Dorsey, “Working in the Coal Mine” With their red flowerpot “energy dome” hats, Devo dominated pop culture in the 1980s. Part of the Devo Manifesto was: “Wear gaudy colors or avoid display, it’s all the same. The fittest shall survive yet the unfit shall live.” The surreal humor underlying these rules (which would make great guidelines for enjoying Mardi Gras) poked fun at the industrial consumerism of the age. Devo’s kitsch themes were never more evident than when they scored with their greatest hit, “Whip It!” But the Greater New Orleans area had a whip-tease artist of its own, Lash LaRue. Born in Gretna, Louisiana, on June 14, 1907, Alfred LaRue chose not to “wear gaudy colors” but a jet-black outfit. He made his mark as a Western hero in the 1940s brandishing his own signature weapon, an eighteen-foot bullwhip. Lash LaRue Playing the Cheyenne Kid in the 1945 movie “The Song of Old Wyoming” made him a star. He repeated that role many times more alongside comic sidekick Al “Fuzzy” St. John. Fibbing at first about his prowess with a whip to get the part, LaRue soon became an expert. “Lash” became his new first name, and he became billed as “King of the Bullwhip”. “King of the Bullwhip” in the comics Lash toured the country performing live stunts with his whip to the great delight of his fans. Here was one cowboy who could do the same things in person that he did on the screen (like popping the cap off a Coca-Cola bottle with his whip).
