Anecdotes
This film is a perfect example of a sub-genre popular with Poverty Row studios like Monogram in the 1940s and 50s - The "Singing Cowboys Movie," in which cowpokes armed with guns and guitars sang and shot their way through formulaic Western plots.

Down in the Cherokee Strip

Veteran director Lambert Hillyer -- he was William S. Hart's director in the 1910s -- helms this ultra-short (56 minutes) Monogram co-feature about a singing cowboy who becomes a deputy sheriff to clear up the town for a county seat and win the pretty restaurant lass.

Quite obviously shot by good talent (there are some lovely compositions) on a tiny budget (the singing sequence that starts off the movie has poor lip-syncing), this is a pretty good movie for anyone happy to see this old story told efficiently. Dub Taylor is the comic sidekick and while this is not much more than a step above a TV western a decade later, the behind-the-screen talent have performed a handsome and efficient job.
