Barbara Stanwyck’s association with the Western genre is significant and, indeed, interesting. Although perhaps best remembered as a femme fatale or screwball comedienne, Stanwyck’s involvement in the Western equaled that of many of the genre’s well-known male stars.

Thanks Retlaw, just spotted your post - brilliant. Saturday mornings at the Odeon - i can remember 8 cinemas in Accrington, Church & Oswaldtwistle but got a feeling that there were more than that - 5 + 1 + 2

After his death, Rogers had Trigger stuffed and mounted. Trigger presently rests among the exhibits at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum.
He also had an alsatian dog, Bullet, which featured mainly in his weekly TV series.

Not sure where the Church/Ossy boundary is but I always thought the Empire, Palladium & Palace were in Ossy.

As usual Retlaw, you are correct - the Bug hut being the King's Hall - Thank you.
I only remember two in Ossy, do not remember the Palce - where was it?
