Special Guest Gordon MacRae

Another guest is "Broncho Billy" Anderson, a silent film actor considered the first Western star.  
GIlbert M Anderson appeared in The Great Train Robbery (1903) and a few years later co-founded Essanay Studio.  There, he starred in some 300 short films, about half of which featured him as the cowboy hero "Broncho Billy."  In March, the 78-year-old Anderson received an honorary Academy Award "for his contributions to the development of motion pictures as entertainment."
