The young lady is Dorothy Provine, who was the star of "The Bonnie Parker Story ".


"A Bonnie & Clyde Story"  I grew up in Okabena, MN and this story always came up from time to time by my mother and uncle.  My mother was 15 at the time and my uncle 12 and on their way to school.  Mom was in front of the school when the car came "roaring by' mother's words, and she saw the red-head in the back seat look right at her with the machine gun in her hands.  My uncle was the one interviewed in the story. That's not the bank in the picture. I know a Thompson is not a single shot but still fun info.

I haven't seen the movie, but a similar role for Wallace Beery is "Bad Man" with Ronald Reagan as the good guy. I have it on dvd.

Anybody been watching the PBS show "The Buffalo"?  Lots of good still shots from the old days. One of you guys probably own one of these Ballards. Wink

Is that the Ken Burns Film? I am reading the book now, and this photograph appears in the book.

I have a copy of that Shooting Times as well as the rifle in the picture. I shot the cover picture of the same rifle along with an article about the rifle in the ASSRA Single Shot Journal a couple of years ago. I just placed with that specific rifle at the ASSRA .22 RF match at Etna Green this month. The rifle has a barrel liner by C.C. Johnson, I shoot it with the Ballard tang sight and some with a Winchester 5A scope. I know I am making it challenging for myself using only a 5X scope but I think the rifle should be shot using equipment that relates to the history of the rifle.
