John Wayne.

DAWN RIDER: The Duke Avenges His Father's Murder John Wayne hits the vengeance trail after a gang of express office bandits in this 1935 film from Robert N. Bradbury, who directed most of his many Lone Star Westerns (Texas Terror, The Trail Beyond). John Mason (Wayne) befriends Ben McClure (Reed Howes), who works for his father (Joe DeGrasse), and then watches in horror as Dad Mason is shot to death by a masked gunman during a robbery. Badly wounded while chasing the gang and killing two of its members, John is nursed back to health by Ben?s girlfriend, Alice Gordon (Marion Burns), and vows to let nothing stand in the way of justice. Unknown to John, Alice?s brother Rudd (Denny Meadows) is his father's murderer, and persuades Ben that his best friend is trying to steal his girl, before the three men shoot it out in the final showdown.

BLUE STEEL: John Wayne plays U.S. Marshall John Caruthers as he follows the trail of crooked speculators. When bandits terrorize a small town, Caruthers happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and the Sheriff accuses him of the crime. Meanwhile, unknown real estate moguls are buying up all the property in a supposedly worthless town. Unbeknownst to its citizens, the land is the source of a vast fortune in gold. BLUE STEEL fetures Wayne in an early role in the genre that would make him legendary.

MAN FROM UTAH: After he shoots and kills several bandits in a small town, cowboy John Weston is hired as an undercover agent by the town's sheriff. John is assigned to investigate the illegal gambling activities of a gang at a nearby rodeo competition. He enters the rodeo and wins the first round of events. Barton, the gang's leader, then wants John to remove himself from the competition. John refuses and declines Barton's bribe. He goes on to win the entire competition and foils the gambling set-up. Then, John deposits all his winnings into the town bank, which Barton and his gang plan to hold up. Once again, tipped off by a member of the gang, John comes to the rescue and prevents the robbery. John Wayne rides into a small town, only to find himself implicated in a bank robbery. After he clears himself, he begins his own investigation.

LUCKY TEXAN: Wayne and his mining partner strike it rich, but tragedy strikes when one of them is accused of murder. All originally released in 1934, these early films helped solidify John Wayne's legendary status as king of the Western genre.
