Cherryvale Native's Film To Be Shown At Historical Museum

 

The 1938 classic, Overland Stage Raiders, starring John Wayne and Cherryvale native, Louise Brooks will be shown Saturday evening September 3rd on the lawn outside the Cherryvale Historical Museum at approximately 7:45 pm or just as the sun sets in the west.

Brooks was born in Cherryvale in 1906. Growing up in Cherryvale she acted in several plays before moving to Independence, and then to Wichita to expand her dance moves. While still in her teens, she was able to convince her parents that she could make it in New York. She no doubt did, she danced in the Ziegfeld Follies and by 1926 she was living in Hollywood and had broken into the silent film industry staring opposite such legends as W.C. Fields. Go see the hometown girl who became a worldwide sensation.
