LOUISE CURRIE R.I.P.

Louise Currie, "the Katharine Hepburn of Gower Gulch," died September 8. She was 100! Most fans remember Louise from her Monogram and PRC films with, among others, Bela Lugosi; serial fans, however, treasure her appearances in two classic Republic cliffhangers,  ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL (1941) and THE MASKED MARVEL (1943). She was a spirited heroine in both. 

                                  

 

Louise and her four leading men, one of whom is the eponymous hero, THE MASKED MARVEL. But which one? Clockwise: David Bacon, Rod Bacon (no relation), Richard Clarke and Bill Healy.
