Scope and content
Cheyenne Northwestern premiere at the Holly Theater in Medford, Oregon. Actor Alan Hale, Sr., will be there in person that night only. Penning in the crowd is a line of people mounted on horseback who are dressed in western garb. It appears that every other horseman is a police officer, possibly a member of a sheriff's posse. The large crowd outside the theater appears to be waiting to be admitted. Two Pacific Northwest natives had roles in the film: Janis Paige who as Emily Carson performed two numbers and Bruce Bennett as the Poet, Ed Landers. Both were born in Tacoma; Bennett was formerly known as Herman Brix, Olympian and a past Tarzan.
