I just watched Dixie (1924) on YouTube. The entire 24 minute short silent film is available there. It begins in the last months of 1864 with the Allen family as Mrs Allen deals with slaves expecting freedom and all kinds of shortages caused by the war. Her husband and sons are all in the army. Then the film goes ahead six months and Lee's surrender at Appomattox is faithfully recreated. The details of the event are filmed as though the camera was actually there recording it live. The civilian clothing and military uniforms are historically correct. Check out Dixie (1924) if you can. It's a brilliant retelling of the last days of the Civil War.

Belle Reed flees outlaw Ben Quaid and returns to Tombstone, where she and Clay have a history. Belle thinks she is safe, but Ben sneaks into town and shoots her for running away from him. He escapes back to a town just across the border where Clay can't pursue him. The next day, Belle's twin sister Gwen arrives in Tombstone. She is determined to bring Ben Quaid to justice. Her plan involves wearing Belle's clothes and going to Ben so that she can lure him into Clay's clutches. Clay refuses as he feels it's too dangerous for her.but Gwen goes ahead with her plan anyway. Will Ben see through her disguise? And how can Clay help her when she's across the border?

Lovely Erin O'Brien plays Belle/Gwen. She had a successful Hollywood career and was married three times, but married her second husband twice, and had five children overall.

This is a good episode, well,worth watching.

Sam Edwards is about to be hanged in Tombstone. But his brother John shows up in a wagon that he says is loaded with dynamite and can be set off by a string attached to his foot. He also has newspaper editor Harris Cleybourne tied up in back of the wagon. Clay lets them get always and then he and deputy Quint follow at a safe distance. How can they possibly rescue Harris without these two evil brothers blowing him up?

Keith Larsen plays bad guy John Edwards. He had starred in two series during the 1950s. The first was "Brave Eagle," in which he played a wise and honorable Indian chief. Then he starred in "Northwest Passage," a series based on the movie of the same name and starring Spencer Tracy. Keith played Major Robert Rogers in that one. Appearing as a bad outlaw was a real change of role type for him and he does well in it. Watch this episode when you can.
