276 THE TALKING PICTURE Will Rogers was another screen favorite whose screen career was nearing an untimely close. This scene, with Stepin Fetchit, is from Judge Priest, a picture made in 1934, based on Irvin S. Cobb's well-known series of short stories. Rogers, with the aviator Wiley Post, wus killed in a plane crash the following year. John Ford directed an all-male cast in The Lost Patrol. The film featured taut direction and a number of fine performances, especially by Reginald Denny and Victor McLaglen. In the above scene are McLaglen, Roris Karloff, not a monster this time, but a religious fanatic, and Wallace Ford. RKO produced it in 1934.
