In 1935 John Wayne made the first of eight appearances as Stony Brooke in the ongoing Three Mesquiteers five-reelers for Republic Studios. Wayne took over the role from Bob Livingston who played the character in all but one of the previous sixteen entries in the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the films in which JW played Stoney were directed by George Sherman, who also directed the late career classic Western for the actor, \u201cBig Jake\u201d, over 30 years later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along for the ride is Ray Corrigan as Tucson Smith and Max Terhune as Lullaby Roslin. There\u2019s also an intermittent appearance by another character, but we\u2019ll get to that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPals of the Saddle<\/strong><\/a>\u201d was the first of these eight films JW appeared in, hitting paydirt in \u201cStagecoach\u201d halfway through his run as Stony, and completing the last four in the wake of his newfound stardom as the Ringo Kid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having already reviewed the films in an earlier article I thought this time around I\u2019d re-evaluate Wayne\u2019s Mesquiteer movies and rate them in order of preference. Hope you agree with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
