Lightnin'

by Frank Bacon, Winchell Smith

A Western from 1918, that ran over a 1000 shows on Broadway and was made into movies twice. Lightnin' and his wife run a seedy hotel that straddles the Nevada-California state line, making for an interesting legal situation. When some out-of-town businessmen come to town to try and take advantage of the locals, they discover that there is more savvy in them thar hills than they first thought. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Lightnin' Bill Jones: ToddHW John Marvin: Andrew Gaunce Raymond Thomas: Andrew James Lemuel Townsend: Alan Mapstone Rodney Harper: Steven Fellows Everett Hammond: Wayne Cooke Nevin Blodgett, Sheriff: Son of the Exiles Oscar Nelson: Greg Giordano Fred Peters: Paul Harvey Walter Lennon: Jim Locke Zeb Crothers: Larry Wilson Liveryman: Jim Locke Clerk: Larry Wilson Mildred Buckley: Annie Mars Mrs. Jones: Sonia Mrs. Margaret Davis: Devorah Allen Mrs. Harper: Diane Castillo Freeda: Lauren-Emma Blake Emily Jarvis: Sandra Schmit Mrs. Moore: Jenn Broda Mrs. Jordan: TJ Burns M
