A 1949 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 10" x 13 1/2" [25 x 34 cm]; 16 pages) (Learn More) The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, the 1938 Mack V. Wright & Sam Nelson Native American Indian cowboy western serial ("A Columbia Serial"; "A Columbia Chapter Play"; "Adventure flames out of the golden West!"; "Look out... Injun!"; "Six-guns blaze new thrill trails in the winning of the West!") starring William 'Wild Bill' Elliott (billed as "Gordon Elliot"; in the title role as Wild Bill Hickok), Monte Blue, Carole Wayne, Frankie Darro, Roscoe Ates, Chief Thunder Cloud, Ray Mala (billed as "Mala"), Frank Lackteen, Kermit Maynard, Dickie Jones, and Art Mix. Note that this serial was such a success, that Elliott portrayed Hickok in 12 other films, and even when he was not playing Hickok, his characters were often called "Wild Bill" (such as Wild Bill Saunders & Wild Bill Boone). Eventually, Elliot became so associated with "Wild Bill", that he was cast as a character named "Wild Bill Elliott" in the 1943 film Calling Wild Bill Elliott. In all, he essentially played a character of himself in over 30 films, often with both his credit and role listed as "Wild Bill Elliott"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
