Movie Review: **^The Lawless Frontier (John Wayne, 1934)
This movie is a typical Lone Star representation of John Wayne. There are some technical issue with the copy on You Tube as a few minutes are skipped. John Wayne fights the bad guys and gets the girl. This movie has a couple horse chases, and one chase with John Tobin (Wayne) chasing our outlaw Zanti (Earl Dwire) sliding on a board (like a skim board) down a creek. This movie also has Ruby (Sheila Terry) as our love interest and her father Dusty (Gabby Hayes.) Wayne is after Zanti as he killed his parents. Then he and his gang come upon Ruby and Dusty, and Ruby overhears them laying plans to steal her away and kill her father. They take off, and Tobin rescues them. Then they just have to convince the Marshall who the bad guys are.

Movie Review: ***^ 'Neath the Arizona Skies, (John Wayne 1934)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DspL3QcfcfM
'Neath the Arizona Skies, John Wayne, Lone Star Pictures, 1934.
This is another formula movie from Lone Star Pictures. These movies always have the same theme, John Wayne is chased by either the law or the bad guys, he meets a girl, John Wayne resolves the conflict and he gets the girl. In this case there are two girls, Nina, (Shirley Jean Rickert) a mixed blood child who Chris Morrell (John Wayne) has raised. He has to find her White birth father so Nina can get access to her oil royalties money. However the outlaw, Sam Black (Yakima Canutt) also have desires for the royalty money. They are after Chris who gets away, but collapses from the consequences of a fight. While he is unconscious, a bandit Jim Moore (Jay Wilsey) changes clothes with him. He is then rescued and taken to the ranch of the brother of the outlaw, Clara Moore (Sheila Terry.) Again there is lots of shooting and fighting. There is double cross and horse chase. There is even a jump into the lake at the end of the horse chase. A couple danglers at the end, is Nina's father killed, is the brother killed? They are both shot.
The little girl added something to this movie which makes it a bit more interested than the regular movie from Lone Star.
