Theatrical trailer for the first Republic Pictures' serial, starring Clyde Beatty
Theatrical trailer for the first Republic Pictures' serial, starring Clyde Beatty and Manuel King. Republic was formed in 1935 through a merger of independent studios Mascot, Monogram, Liberty, Majestic, Chesterfield and Invincible, all of whom had carved out audiences in various genres, but, arguably, the most important of which were Monogram -- which had John Wayne as the star of its Lone Star western series -- and Mascot, which had become a force to be reckoned with in motion picture serials, had newcomer Gene Autry under contract and possessed the former Mack Sennett lot, a compact, but state of the art facility in the San Fernando Valley.
