Clu Gulager shares fond memories of Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and Betty Davis
By HERMAN BROWN
Special to the TRIBUNE
One of the most productive
film and television actors in
America was born in Holdenville, Oklahoma on Friday, Nov.
16, 1928. On that date, William
Martin Gulager came kicking
and screaming into the world.
John Gulager nicknamed his
baby boy Clu because of the
noisy clu-clu birds living outside their home. Clu’s birth in
Holdenville came six months
after another famous native
son, oil and natural gas tycoon
T. Boone Pickens. Both moved
away from Holdenville before
enjoying amazing success in
their respective careers.
As for Clu, he has more questions than answers about his
connection to Holdenville. He
knows he was born there, but
doesn’t really know why? Even
so, he has always taken pride in
being born in the small town in
Southeastern Oklahoma.
“I tell everyone I was born
in Holdenville because that’s
what’s on my birth certificate,
by golly” he said. “I’m proud of
being born in Holdenville.”
The actor attempted to solve
the mystery. He and his wife
(Miriam Byrd-Nethery) drove
to Holdenville to search for records linking him to his birthplace. They visited the hospital
but didn’t find any answers.
For Clu, the Holdenville mystery continues today. Even so,
he has always proudly listed
Holdenville on his resume.
The actor spent his early years
in Muskogee and on an uncle’s
farm near Tahlequah.
“We’re Indians,” he says
proudly. “We came from the
South when we were replaced
(removed). We came (before the
Trail of Tears). I guess my family saw the writing on the wall.”
Clu’s father was a judge in
Muskogee. However, his early
years included military service
during World War I. John Gulager was stationed in New York
City when George M. Cohen
recruited him to be in a show
‘Goodbye Sam” to honor the
troops in the war. Gulager’s performance attracted the attention
of the Keith Orpheum circuit,
the biggest vaudeville circuit in
the world.
“He traveled around and per-
found chances to perform in
the Chicago area each time he
returned there to treatment or
review of his consumption.
“He also did a radio show in
Tulsa on KTUL and all kinds of
Tahlequah and provided him
with an interesting opportunity.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Clu asked his cousin.
“He said he was going to join
the Marines. I said ‘wait a min-

formed in cities and towns …
and probably pastures, too,”
Clu said of his father. “But he
contracted consumption – tuberculosis – and he had to go to
the hospital in Heinz, Illinois,
where they specialized in consumption. He could not pursue
the career in show business that
Keith Orpheum offered him.”
The elder Gulager returned to
Oklahoma and became a lawyer and ended up as a judge in
Muskogee. However, he still
things,” Clu said. “In one sense,
while not being what we call a
professional, he was a professional. He put on shows, told
jokes and everything.”
Clu went to school in Muskogee and graduated high school
there.
“I graduated from Muskogee Central by the hair of my
chinny, chin, chin,” he said. “I
think they just put me through
because I was such an idiot!”
While still in school, Clu got
his first taste of acting. He remembers having a role in a third
grade play.
“I played the Mouse King in
the Nutcracker,” he said.
In the 7th grade, he won the
major role of Puck. According to the material, Puck is also
known as Robin Goodfellow.
Puck is Oberon’s jester, a mischievous fairy who delights in
playing pranks on mortals.
“Apparently a teacher was interested in that and rounded up
some students to play the parts,”
he said.
As a 10th grader, Clu adapted
Julius Caesar to a 15-minute
show for the radio in Muskogee.
“God knows how that came
about,” he said.
A year later, Clu won over the
crowd with his bumbling efforts
during a school play.
“It was a comedy and everyone laughed at me not being
able to put up an ironing board,”
he recalls.
Following high school, Clu
had decisions to make about his

came over from the farm near
ute, I’ll go with you!’”
The 17-year-old Clu went to
Oklahoma City and joined the
military. He was a solo french
horn player in the Marines’
band. He also proved to be a
gifted athlete.
“I won the singles and double
tennis championship at Camp
Pendleton (California),” he
said. “I also played basketball
for Camp Pendleton and we
played around at various services. Plus, I was in charge of
athletic equipment somewhat at
Camp Pendleton.”
While most of his time in the
Marines was smooth sailing, he
did manage to upset his commanders once.
“I was disturbed, as many
young people are, about the
garb that was required of Marines when they went on liberty
(free time in civilian areas). So
I wrote an article to the Marine
Corps newspaper and it didn’t
sit well with the Marines. They
put me on KP (kitchen police)
for one week.”
Clu said it was during his stint
in the Marines that the idea of
acting as a profession first struck
him.
“I was jogging on the back
roads of Camp Pendleton and
suddenly I had an epiphany. I
thought to myself, ‘hey, I want to
act.’ Now, I had no idea of what
acting was and I didn’t even
know how to spell it. But I went
to Hollywood on weekends and
studied with a shoe salesman. I
must have gotten his name out
of a telephone directory.”
The shoe salesman wondered
if Clu was married. When he
learned that the would-be actor
was single, he offered a prediction.
“Well, when you get married,
things will open up in acting for
you,” he said. “That’s the only
thing I remember and I didn’t
have any idea what it meant.”
Clu served 19 months in the
Marines before being granted
an Honorable Discharge. It was
after World War II and the Marines were attempting to downsize. They accomplished that
goal by offering early releases
to Clu and thousands of others.
The Holdenville native then
drifted back to Oklahoma. He
enrolled in classes at Northeastern College (now NSU). That’s
when the acting option came
around for him.
“There was a man there, S.
Walker James, who taught drama. He said ‘Clu, you seem to
have a smidgeon of talent, so I
am going to suggest that you go
to Baylor University where Paul
Baker teaches.’ He sent me to
Baylor at Waco, Texas, where
there was a really advanced
program in theater. While I was
there, we did an original play by
Eugene McKinney, who taught
at the school. It was called ‘A
Different Drummer.’ Mr. Baker
had been the head of the Second
World War European Department of Entertainment. All the
actors and, dancers and singers
had come through his office so

One of the great blessings in life is a Vidalia onion. Lewis
Grizzard writes that when he is confronted by atheists, he simply
makes the point that if there wasn’t a God and He didn’t love us,
there wouldn’t be such a thing as the beloved Vidalia onion.
Think about it: Vidalia onions, which are sweet and mild, grow
only in a small part of southeast Georgia.
Some have tried to duplicate the Vidalia in other parts of the
country, but to no avail.
God, I am convinced, was traveling through what was to become
southeast Georgia during the six days of Creation and said, “Let
there be a sweet, mild onion, and let it grown here and here only.”
It was just another of the many blessings God gave us, such as
spring, cool breezes, the beach, and frequent-flyer points.
I must admit, however, that I have had a problem with Vidalia
onions over the years. I usually buy them in great quantities.
I am afraid if I don’t, the Arabs will get control of Vidalias and
send the price up so far I cant buy them anymore.
My problem is that I can’t eat my onions fast enough, and some of
my supply turns funny colors and begins to smell.
Because I absolutely abhor throwing out spoiled Vidalia onions, I
set about to find a way to keep them fresh for long periods of time.
Finally, I have the answer.
Friends invited me to dinner recently, and delicious baked Vidalia
onions were served
During the meal I asked, “Do you have a problem keeping your
Vidalias fresh?”
“Of course not,” the husband answered. “I’ve got fifty pounds of
them stored right now. I’ll be eating Vidalia onions all winter. The
best way to keep Vidalias,” he went on, “is to put them in panty
hose.”
“Panty hose?”
“Yes,” the wife explained. “You take a pair of panty hose and cut
of the top part.
“Then you put an onion all the way to the place where your foot
goes. Then you tie a knot just above that onion and put in another
on top of it. When the panty hose are full of onions, you hang them
up somewhere and they stay absolutely fresh.
“What you are doing is keeping the onions form touching one
another, which is one reason they go bad if you leave them stored
in, say, a sack.”
“I hope you don’t mind if I tell the rest of the nation about this,” I
said to my friends.
“Fine, but I don’t believe you should mention us by name,” said
the husband while his wife was not in the room. “It could be a little
embarrassing if you wrote that my wife could get fifty pounds of
Vidalia onions in a pair of her panty hose.”
I put my hand on what was left of my baked Vidalia and swore I
would be discreet.

Daydreaming . . . is it just another memory from the “good old
days?” Danny Heitman is hoping for a comeback in daydreaming
and writes . . .
“As another summer arrives at our doorstep, I’ve been thinking of
what my 11-year-old son told me not long ago on a long drive back
from a weekend of camping.
“If it’s OK with you,” Will said from the back seat, “I’m just going
to sit here and daydream for a while.”
I was heartened that Will had decided to claim a few moments for
mental wandering after two days devoted to the outdoor regimens
of his Boy Scout troop. But as I gazed through the rearview at the
woods receding from view, I had to wonder if Will’s plans would
produce the desired result.
Daydreaming, after all, is something that tends to defy planning.
The best daydreams just happen, serendipitously, as we’re doing
something else—the brain slipping its leash for a random walk away
from work, or class, or the Sunday sermon gone on too long.
But my son’s sense of daydreaming as a pastime requiring a certain
amount of room in the day—a slow half-hour or so when thoughts can
float like balloons into the waiting sky—seemed a wise recognition
of the freedom needed to let a mind go. Summer, in our ideal vision
of the season, seems a natural incubator for daydreaming, as office
schedules slacken, and beach vacations beckon, and the close of
school liberates children from campus.
But in squaring off his daydreaming time the way that a grownup might pencil in an appointment with the dentist or CPA, Will
reminded me of the degree to which kids these days tend to think in
schedules, even in summer.
Summer camps nudge America’s children from one enrichment
activity to another, and little-league sports perpetually point their
little eyes toward the urgency of a ball in play. Do youngsters have
any real chance for daydreaming during the vacation months—or in
any other time of the year?
A daydream is a stolen pleasure—a moment or two pleasantly
robbed from some more obviously useful task as the brain leaps a
fence, goes adventuring and, with any luck, returns to active duty
before anyone knows it’s been AWOL.
But as texts and tweets and ringing cell phones keep a constant
claim on attention, such mental escapes can seem all but impossible
for youngsters and grown-ups alike.
If an awareness-raising campaign for daydreaming seems in order,
then there’s no better role model for the cause than the title character
of James Thurber’s 1939 short story, “The Secret Life of Walter
Mitty.” A genius at mental digression, the unassuming Mitty evades
the tedium of errands with his wife by casting himself as the star of
several fantasies, alternately trying on the roles of rakish military
commander, ingenious surgeon, crafty murder suspect, and tragic
hero facing the firing squad.
Thurber’s story took on a life of its own, proving wildly popular
among careworn Americans fighting World War II. Readers seemed
to know that even in the midst of a global conflict—or perhaps
because of it—a little mental doodling like Mitty’s could do them a lot of good.
But Thurber was amused, some years after his free-associating hero first appeared in print, to discover
that a British medical journal had coined the term “Walter Mitty syndrome” to describe “pathological
daydreaming.”
Maybe it was inevitable that Mitty would be appropriated to equate daydreaming with illness. Today,
as concern about attention deficit disorder informs the popular culture, a practiced daydreamer might
find himself classified not as an artist of improvisation, but a case to be cured.
Long before Walter Mitty’s wife tried in vain to return him permanently to reality, the world had
its daydreamers—and diligent guardians bent on reforming them. When asked how he happened to
create his famous daydreamer, Thurber suggested that he didn’t so much invent Mitty as simply extend
a lengthy tradition. “There were Walter Mittys, under other names, in the writings of dozens of men
ahead of my time, including Shakespeare,” he told a reader.
So maybe, given its genius for subversion, daydreaming might survive—and even thrive—in a
summer that’s probably going to be much busier than it needs to be.

I thought of my mother when I recently read the following . . . Greg Spitzer writes that at the
podiatrist’s office, his mother listed all her ailments.
“I have a lot of health issues,” she told him.
“Chrohn’s disease, thyroid problems, high cholesterol – that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But I have
one saving grace: I don’t drink.”
The doctor nodded understandingly: “You should.”

he had met almost all of them. So he called some friends of his
who had the No. 1 show at that time called ‘Omnibus television.’
They were invited to come down to Waco to see the play.
“They saw it and liked it,” he recalls. The performance led to
an offer for Gulager and his wife to move to New York City to
perform a version of the play for the television show.
“We did a 43-minute adaptation of ‘A Different Drummer’ for
the No. 1 show in America,” he recalls. “I was horrible. I didn’t
know film acting. I just didn’t understand it at that moment. The
director said ‘Clu, you are wonderful, but could you take it down
a bit and make it conversational.’”
Clu agreed to the direction, but had other ideas.
“I said ‘OK,’ but I knew he was dead wrong,” he said. “I knew
everything. And so I was horrible on the show. My wife was a
singer … one of the great singers in America …a great voice. She
was in the Music department and was wonderful on the show.”
After the major break in New York, Clu had a decision to make
on his career. He and his wife decided to pack their bags and head
west.
“But, after the show, we went back down to Baylor. A lot of the
critics on that 43-minute adaptation said these two people are fine
and should have their own TV series. But I had promised my folks
I’d finish my education so I went back to Baylor.”
Clu’s next move would be to Europe. A British acting school
director saw the Holdenville native in Waco and invited him to
come to London.
“You are very gifted and I am going to arrange a scholarship
for you go to the Old Vic training school in London,” he was told.
“I got on a boat and started over there. On the boat ride over, apparently (Prime Minister Winston) Churchhill cancelled the Fine
Arts Council’s support for first-year students. When I arrived at
the school, they told me that.”
Clu knew only that he would not being going to the school.
That’s about all he knew for sure. He spent the next five days in
London before making his next move. He left London and went
to France.
“I went over to Paris to a one-man show by a painter who had
been a guest artist at Baylor University. I was sitting in the corner
waiting on him. When he came in, he said ‘Clu, Clu … what are
you doing here?’ So I told him my sad story.”
The painter offered to take his American friend to Jean-Louis
Barrault a French actor, director and mime artist.
“Who?” asked Clu. He later realized that Barrault was “probably the most famous actor on the continent.
“He had a big, beautiful theater in a great big park. He let me
study there. What I did was I kind of observed him directing, acting and working with people. I came and went free. It was an opportunity. I couldn’t speak French, so I studied French. I studied
with a man who I’d heard about DeCroux . He was kind of the
formentor of the modern Mime. He and his son taught modern
mime on the other side of town, in the slums. He was a mad man
but a great artist who taught me and wanted me to be in his troupe.
When I told him I was really an actor and that set him off! I said
I had to go back to America to try to act. I found out that he and
Barrault were roommates for three and one-years when they were
young artists. All they did was study movement in its pure form.”
Barrault then stunned DeCroux by telling him he was going to
have to leave him because he was an actor and that is what he was
going to try to do. It was a bitter split. Years later, Gulager repeated
almost the exact same message when announcing he would leave
to become an actor.
Clu returned to Baylor University for a while. He and his wife
were performing Hamlet at the university theater. Burgess Merridith was holding down the role of Hamlet in the production. Gulager played Osric. Famous actor and director Charles Laughton was invited by Baker to come to Baylor and put the finishing
touches on Hamlet.
Clu had designed his own costume for his role. When he came
out on the stage, he wore heavy padding to make it look like he
had a large rear end and a large belly. He also carried a large yellow rose.
“I was playing a sort of a foppish sort of a guy,” the actor said.
“Ivan told me later that Laughton stood up and wondered ‘is he
imitating me?’ He didn’t like my costume! I went away from how
it was written, like many actors will do, to play against it. He
changed me back to slender … but let me keep the rose. And I got
to keep some of my character.”
During the same time, the married couple would drive to Dallas
to work at the Margo Jones Theater.
“They had written a play and we starred in it,” he said.
Clu said he ended up using his studies in Paris to get into the
theater. He and his wife then moved on to New York to work in
live television. However, the actor’s busy career in New York began to slow down as lots of TV shows departed The Big Apple for
Los Angeles.
“They had a migration to the sound stages of Hollywood and to
the sunshine which shines almost every day,” he said. “That saved
them a lot of money. So the industry picked up lock, stock and barrel and went to Hollywood.”
Clu was not thrilled with the move West.
“I didn’t want to go,” he said. “I loved my life. I had been working in live television, and when you are working you are kind of
happy.”
Ironically, it was a call from his wife that changed everything.
She had taken their baby son, John, to visit family members in
Arkansas and Oklahoma. From there, she called to suggest a major
change in their life.
“I’m not coming back,” she told him. “We MUST go to Hollywood. There’s no (acting) work in New York. We’ll starve to death
living a good life.”
The actor reluctantly left New York to return to Oklahoma. He
put off the move to Hollywood while taking real jobs while living
in Muskogee.

Clu Gulager Reflects
Continued from Page 3
“I worked for the Oklahoma
State Highway Department for
a while. And I worked for two
radio stations in Muskogee. I
also produced a theater outside
of Muskogee. We did a beautiful rendition of, in my view, of
a show called Booth Tarkington
17 the musical.”
As for Clu’s return to acting,
a previous assignment with a
fellow actor proved to be a major break. He had worked with
Richard Boone in New York
City. They became friends at
Studio 1 on a show called ‘John
Wesley Harden.’ In a live scene
on the show, Clu comes in the
door behind Boone standing at a
bar. The Holdenville actor pulls
a gun and attempts to shoot the
other actor. However, the gun
did not work planned. It was
what actors call a prop problem.
“It just went ‘click,’ “he said.
“This is live television so you
cannot just stop and say ‘let’s
retake this.’ He saw in the mirror what happened. So he turned
around and I went like that again
(shooting motion) and he took it
and went down and died. So we
were friends.”
Later, Boone moved out to
Los Angeles to work on acting
roles there.
“He had done well in Hollywood,” Clu recalls. “I called
him from Muskogee and told
him I was coming out there. He
told me to come by and he’d see
what we could do. So I went by
his show ‘Have Gun Will Travel.’ It was the No. 1 show and he
put me in his show for the next
week, the starring role without
any audition or anything. So I
went to MCA and I went to Monique James, head of West Coast
television. I told her I was here
(in Hollywood).”
The agent’s reaction caught
him off-guard.
“Where have you been?” she
asked. “We all wondered where
you went in New York.”
Clu had no idea his Hollywood
welcome would be so swift.
“So, evidently, I’d made an impression in New York,” he said.
“But actors never know when
they do that. We don’t know anything. We are just on that stage
doing our silly stuff.”
The agent told him MCA
wanted to sign him as their client. As surprised as he was, she
was even more shocked when he
told her about already landing a
starring role the following week
on the top-ranked TV show.
“I told her I had this job with
Dick Boone and she about fainted!”
The agent also quickly scheduled for Gulager to appear in
the Playhouse 90. The role was
noticed by Lew Wasserman, the
head of Universal and Review.
“He saw it and signed me as
the first contract player for the
Universal stock company at the
time.”
Clu was later cast in Universal
Studios’ 1964 movie ‘The Killers.’ He and Lee Marvin played
professional killers. They shared
the screen with Angie Dickinson and future President Ronald
Reagan.
In the film, Reagan plays his
only role as a villain. It was also
his final film before entering politics.
“That SOB shot me and killed
me,” Clu said of Reagan. “But
I had met Mr. Reagan several
times before. His wife (Nancy
Davis Reagan) had played with
me on my first series ‘The Tall
Man.’ I played Billy the Kid. He
played opposite of me several
times. And she was a very gifted
actress and did very well on my
show, as opposed to her Warner
Brothers movies. She was really
natural and easy going and really
a good actress, Nancy was.”
Clu recalls Ronald Reagan was
always very nice during visits to
the set. He would come there
during Nancy’s appearances in
‘The Tall Man’ series.
One funny Ronald Reagan story stands out for Clu.
“They had given me a great big
horse – 16 hands high. Before
that, I had the (same) horse that
Randolf Scott had used in most
of his movies, but the horse got
so old he died! They switched
and gave me another horse than
looked like it, but it was high …
really tall. They even called him
High.”
Once, Clu was attempting to
put his boot in the stirrups and
quickly mount the horse for a
scene. However, the 5-11 actor
failed in several attempts. The
horse was just too tall to make
it an easy mount.
“Finally, I just fell down on
my back and was showing off,”
he said. “Mr. Reagan said to
me ‘Clu, Clu … I used to do
this, you know. I was a cowboy. Here’s what I did: I had the
camera to shoot me as I started
to get on my pony. Then they
said ‘cut!’ Then I got on the
horse… and I was on the horse
and they said ‘action’ and I was
already on the horse. So that’s
the way I did it. That’s what
I’m suggesting to you to do the
same thing.”
The actor added that “he was
a very kind man and he was just
trying to help. He was very giving. What you saw, you got. He
was just that. He had great charisma.”
Clu worked with some other
fine actors in the Oscar-winning
movie, ‘The Last Picture Show’
in 1971. He plays ‘Abilene,’ a
guy who has ‘relations’ with
Cybil Shepherd on a pool table.
The scene was very uncomfortable to watch for director Peter
Bogdanovich, who fell in love
with Shepherd during filming.
In fact, Bogdanovich wanted to
do more that direct Shepherd in
the movie.
“He wanted to play my role,”
Clu said. “But casting director
Ross Brown talked to Peter and
said ‘I think you have enough to
do directing and writing and all
this stuff. I think you should just
let someone else do it.’”
Bogdanovich wondered who

the casting director had in mind
for the role. That’s when Brown
suggested Gulager would be a
great choice to play Abilene.
“Clu Gulager looks the part
and he’s a good actor,” Brown
said. “So why don’t we get him
in here and let you meet him.”
Once the director met Clu, he
agreed the Holdenville native
should be cast as Abilene.
“But I think Peter was always
upset that I was playing opposite
the woman he loved,” Clu said.
As for the movie, it is considered one of the best films of
all time. However, Clu had a far
different opinion at first.
“When I read the script, I realized it was total trash,” he said.
“It was full of trailer trash stuff.
But I took it anyway because,
you know, actors work. I did it
and it turned out to be a classic!
I look at it now and say ‘boy,
that’s a good film.’”
Closer to home, Clu would
have the chance to work on a
movie in the Tulsa area. However, he was in a self-imposed acting retirement and didn’t want to
work in the made-for-TV movie
‘Ambush at Waco: In the Line
of Duty.’It was a film about cult
leader David Koresh during the
deadly standoff at Waco. The
casting director wanted Clu to
work on the movie - but he did
not want to do it. He figured the
easy way to turn down the role
was to hit them in the budget.
“I ask for too much money,”
he said, thinking they would
turn him down. However, that’s
not what happened.
“But they paid me the money
so I had to do it!”
Clu was cast as the McLennan
County sheriff. According to the
cast list, his wife, Miriam ByrdNethery, appears as Harriet in
the movie. Their daughter-inlaw, Diane Ayala Goldner, also
has a minor role in the movie.
Scenes were shot in Mounds and
also in Beggs.
The actor then returned to
Hollywood, but went back into
retirement. However, he would
take a role here and there - often at the request of a friend. His
son, John, also drags him back
in front of a camera every once
in a while.
Clu does not brag on his work.
In fact, he downplays most of
his roles. However, he expresses
some pride in one of his more recent performances.
“I made a short at the end of
my acting career called Vic with
Sage Stallone,” the actor said.
“I like what Sage did with it.
That’s the one that came out a
little bit. I like the way he wrote
my role about an old actor having trouble. I kind of identified
with that. I think that was the
one. That’s the one role I really
liked.”
Looking back, he is proud to
have shared scenes with some of
the biggest names in movies.
“I worked with a lot of what I
call big stars,” he said. “I worked
with John Wayne and Betty Davis and really all the big ones.”
John Wayne was one of his favorites. He recalls a story about
Duke.
“His boys were good boys …
really good-hearted children and
two stars’ children who turned
out really well. They were going to produce a couple of movies, and to do that you generally
have to have some stars. So they
said ‘Pop, can you help us out
and star in these two little films?’
So he said ‘boys, I’m dying!’
They said ‘yes, we know that,
but could you star in these two
little films?’ Of course he did …
and in one of them I played the
villain.”
Clu recalls how John Wayne
would always play chess between his scenes.
“He’d play several yards off
camera while they were setting
up the lights and placing the microphones and things like that. I
saw one day when they finished
with the lights and the AD (assistant director) started walking
toward Mr. Wayne to get him
(for the scene). But Mr. Wayne
was by that time half-way to the
camera. He just knew instinctively knew when they were
ready to film. You didn’t have to
call him. He was there, at arm’s
length by the camera ready to
go every shot. He was, I guess,
the most professional actor I
ever worked with. And as far as
acting, don’t ever let anyone tell
you Wayne was not a real actor.
He was one of the great actors
for film. He could do things in
front of a camera that nobody
else could. And I worshiped actors and he was one of the best.
That’s my take on him.”
Another of the all-time greats
was Betty Davis. Even late in
her life and career, she still gave
everything she had to her roles
– and did her best to help others
around her do great work.
“Betty Davis was so old that
she couldn’t walk,” he recalls.
“But she was out on a 125-degree tarmac in Dallas, Texas. I’d
replaced an actor in Ron Howard’s first film and I was called
down there. And she had done
her close-up the day before on
the tarmac. And she was out
there (the next day). I said ‘Mrs.
Davis, you don’t have to be out
here. They are doing my closeup. You can go over there in the
shade.’ But she said ‘Listen, I
know who you are and you’re
really good and I would never
ever treat you that way. As long
as you are out here doing your
close-up, I’ll be out here offcamera in this sun reading you
lines. I would never, ever, disrespect you in that way!”
Her incredible professionalism stunned and delighted Clu.
“I just about melted right
there,” he said.
Another favorite of Clu was
Alice Ghostley, who grew up in
Arkansas, but graduated from
Henryetta High School. He also
recalls working with her in the
1999 movie ‘Palmer’s Pick-up.’
Clu’s wife was also from Arkansas. Her family knew Ghostley’s family.
“Alice’s father worked with
my wife’s father on the railroad.
They worked on a thing called
the Doodlebug railroad down
there. My father-in-law was a
freight train conductor and they
both worked together.”
It has been 55 years since Clu
appeared on television. Over the
years, he has worked in countless TV and movies projects.
His latest appearance in a movie
comes this weekend in Piranha
3DD. The film is directed by
Clu’s son, John Gulager. It stars
Danielle Panabaker and Matt
Bush. David Hasselhoff and
Gary Busey also have roles in
the film.
Gulager notes his role is not a big one.
“One thing I can say about my role in
the movie is ‘don’t blink.’ It’s not the biggest role I ever got. I don’t act anyone, but
when John makes a picture he wants me
in it for nostalgic reasons I guess. I told
him I don’t act anymore. But he said ‘you
are in it!’ … so I said ‘OK.’ I do whatever
he tells me.”
Gulager can’t discuss specifically what
happens in his scene in Piranha 3DD.
But he’s able to say that he shares it with
another well-known Okie actor, Gary
Busey.
“He (Busey) came down to the set and
we reminisced about things,” he said.
“Gary is a great actor. As for me, I don’t
consider myself an actor anymore, I just
go to movies and eat.”
Gulager was asked if he has advice
for someone who wants to make acting a
career.
“May God have mercy on your soul,”
he said, laughing.

SUGAR RATION RULES
CHEERFULLY ACCEPTED
BY HUGHES COUNTYANS
It was a “mighty democratic”
line that formed to the county
War Price and Rationing board
counter Saturday morning—97
women receiving sugar allotments for canning purposes.
Prominent matrons, Negro
homemakers, wealth, pennysaving, and a varied list of in-betweens, stood in the line—truly
representative of the American
Determination to “do anything
to win this war.”
“Our people have been cooperative without a single exception,”
said Wade F. George, secretary of
the rationing board. “They don’t
mind standing in line, there is no
complaining and we have had
many of them say they’d give up
every grain of sugar if it took it
to win the war.”
In addition to the number receiving the allotments here each
of the sub-agents over the county has been kept busy issuing

CITY POST TO JOIN IN
COLLECTION OF PHONOGRAPH RECORDS
Local American Legion members, at a post meeting Monday
night, voted to cooperate with
the national Legion organization
in a drive to collect 37,500,000
old phonograph records for this
nation’s men in military service.
Each Legionnaire throughout
the nation has been requested
to turn in at least 25 old records
before July 20th. Old, broken records are usable, since they will
be made into new ones. Nationally famous musicians will contribute their services for the new
recordings.
During the business session
last night, state and national
membership awards were presented to members qualifying for
these. Presentations were made
by the Rev. John A. Callan, post
chaplain.
Those qualifying for the state
awards, a small silver star for
cap ornament, were Rivers M.
Coffman, who, until he recently
resigned to enlist in the Marine
Corps, served as post commander this year, Adjutant Reedy
Booker, Ashley Thetford, Herb
Lindsey and Bill Tucker.
Coffman, Booker, Thetford
and Tucker received the national
commander’s award, a bronze
pin.
In the absence of Coffman, the
two Legion awards and a Marine
Corps pin were presented to his
young son, Billy. Mrs. Coffman
was present at the ceremony.
At the suggestion of Frank
Thomas, Legionnaires extended a vote of thanks to
Tom R. Phillips, publisher of the
Daily News, for his editorial on
Flag Day, which appeared in last
Sunday’s edition of the News.
WITH HUGHES COUNTY
BOYS IN THE MILITARY
SERVICE
After coming through an eye
operation, he passed his examinations with flying colors and
Aviation Cadet Claud White now
is stationed at Kelly Field, Texas,
he has informed his mother, Mrs.
Beulah White.
Cadet White was in the post
hospital at Randolph Field, Texas for 12 days convalescing from
the operation.
He has been in service almost
three years, having gone into the
45th division when the national
guard was called to active duty.
CPL. CHARLES D. VOLLERS, “Sonny” to his school day
friends here, found the King’s
English very strange when he
hit London and also English
money—but he’s getting it all
straightened out now.
Cpl. Vollers’ first letter to his
mother, Mrs. Kathryn Vollers of
Yellville, AR, came recently and
she brought it along when she
came here for a visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Stamper.
It included greetings to friends
here, “tell them all hello.”
The British people are “very
nice,” Cpl. Vollers wrote and he
is –and always has been—highly
enthusiastic about the army.
He finished high school here
with the HHS class of 1940
and as soon as July of that year
brought his 18th birthday around,
he enlisted. He had lettered three
years in football and two years
in wrestling.
He was trained at Fort Bliss
and Fort Sam Houston, where
he applied for overseas duty and
was finally accepted.
It is not remarkable that he
likes the army, Mrs. Vollers says,
since he was ‘born into it.’ He
was born at the Presidio, San
Francisco, where his father, Capt.
Charles D. Vollers, was then stationed. The senior Vollers saw
service in the World War.
AERIAL GROUND WORK
COURSE ADDED TO HHS
CURRICULUM
Even the most prophetic of
those pioneers who founded our
public school system would no
doubt get quite a jolt out of a
new teacher’s outline received
today for use in the fall term at
Holdenville high school.
It is for a course in ground
work, to prepare students for
basic flight training. About
25—both boys and girls, either
juniors or seniors—enrolled in
it at the close of the last term,
Supt-Elect J.W. Bell said.
Dr. Lloyd B. Drake, science
instructor, will have charge of
the classes.
Instruction will be given in
civil aeronautical regulations,
aero dynamics and meteorology.
Prerequisite courses are a year
of algebra, plus one of general
science, chemistry, biology or
physics, with a B average required in each.
The outline of study was completed by the Pre-flight Aeronautics Curriculum Project at
the University of Nebraska, Lin-
coln, with approval of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority.
Local students will be governed by a committee comprised
of Mr. Bell, Dr. Drake, Prin.Elect Reed Collier and Mrs.
Frank Howell, mathematics
teacher.
The course, as outlined today,
is to be presented in eight units:
“Let’s Fly,” the introductory
chapter; “Ocean of Air,” meteorology; “Why Does an Airplane Fly?” aerodynamics; “The
Power that Draws a Propeller,”

Game Night News
We had several of our players that were absent for one reason or another but we had one
of our main players back! Yes,
Jean Phillips was back in full
form and ready to play and we
were excited to see her!
We only had 11 players
so when we weren’t playing
4-handed “moon”, we were either playing straight dominoes
or 3-handed moon. 3-handed
moon is when you remove all
of the blanks and play with just
three people and don’t have a
partner to depend upon.
Partners were Glenda Smith
and Naomi Tomlinson; Sharon
Dilday and Sue Wood; Jean
Phillips and Joyce Yates; Geraldine Ingram and Janice Eller;
Lynn Marquis and Reba Lovelace; Margaret Newman and
Naomi Tomlinson. Playing 3-handed moon and
winning were Margaret, Lynn
and Geraldine.
Lynn shot the moon twice
and won both times! Yea !!
Playing straight dominoes
were Glenda, Sue and Sharon
with Sue being the winner of
that game.
Sue and Sharon won 5
games. Geraldine and Janice
won 3 games. Reba and Lynn
won 2 games. Jean and Joyce
won 2 games. It seems that
Jean shot the moon and made
it! Yea, Jean! She hasn’t lost
her touch and Joyce shot the
moon for the very 1st time and
motors; “Flying From Here to
There,” navigation; “Aircraft
Communications,” “Your Future may be Aviation,” the vocational aspects of such training,
and “Living in An Air Age,” its
social significance.
“We are not by any means
planning to turn out finished
aviators—merely to acquaint
our students with the background of aviation and prepare
them for actual flight training
if they wish to go further,” Mr.
Bell Said.
made it! Yea, Joyce! We’re
proud of you! Naomi and Margaret won 1 game. Naomi and
Glenda won 1 game. Glenda
shot the moon and went down!
I guess we know who is bring
refreshments next week!!
We did get our exercise
tonight going from table to table, depending on whether you
were winning or losing!
A big thank you to Naomi for the packages of peanutbutter crackers. They were a
life saver for us.
Come and join us next
week. You will have a good
time, I promise!
See ya then! HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—JUNE 13, 2012—PAGE 9

A friend of mine, Randal
Johnson, from Shawnee shared
the following with me. It was so
good I wanted you to read it, too.
MY DAD’S BETTER Three boys were debating
whose father was best. The first
started the debate by claiming his
father knew the mayor. He was
soon topped by the second boy
who said, “Thats’s nothing. My
dad knows the governor.” The
stakes were getting pretty high,
and the eavesdropping father
wondered what his young son
would say about him. The little
boy shot back, “So what! My dad
knows God!” Could your son say
that? May our children always
be able to say, “My dad knows
God!”
I am so thankful that I have
a father (Charles W. Leewright)
who knows God. He has always
set the example for his children
and has taught us how to love and
serve the Lord.
I thank the Lord every day for
my father and pray God’s blessings

I had an email from a Mr. Paul
Baker from Rathdrum, Idaho, who
was inquiring about an accident
that happened back in 1937. He
wanted me to share this with our
readers to see if anyone could give
him more information.
Hi.
My name is Paul E. Baker.
My father, Stewart W. Baker,
who died in 1976 had kept an
extensive newspaper item about
an auto accident many years ago
when he was a kid in Wewoka,
Oklahoma. The newspaper is
dated ‘November 15, 1937’ and
the article is about five young
kids, some from Wewoka, and
Holdenville.
He either knew some of those kids
(He too, went to Wewoka High
School) and I’m sure the article
meant something to him. How
would I go about finding more
information concerning this? The
youths who were killed were,
“Richard “Dick” Woods, Glenn
Shepard, Armistice Cox, Vera
Wood, a student at Holdenville
business college, and Beatrice
Hawthorne, a teacher at Bryant.”
If you can give me any information
which I could use concerning this
story; relatives still living there,
etc., I would sure appreciate it.
Thank you very much

I’ve also heard from several
of our subscribers the past couple
of weeks and wanted to share their
notes with you.
Dear Bill and Dayna,
Many thanks for the reminder
on my Tribune.
We really do enjoy it and look
forward to it every week.
Enjoy all the good news and
pictures. Also the obits.
Sorry to hear of Tommy
McCoin’s passing. Also of Maxine
(Wood) Martin’s passing.
Tommy was one of our
neighborhood friends, and at one
time Maxine was my brother
(Tony Wood’s) sister-in-law. He
was married to her sister Edith
(Jolene) Woods.
Several weeks ago you ran an
article on the old Wise Grocery.
My dad, Walter Wood, traded with
them when I was small. When we
went in there Mrs. Wise called me
her little chick-a-dee. I was about
4 at that time.
I will close for n ow.
Keep up the good work.
May God Bless You.
Love always
Shirley (Wood) James
P.S. Sometimes John (my
husband) reads the paper before
I do, even though he was from
Midwest City. Ha! Ha!
Bye for Now

Hi Dayna:
My check is enclosed for
another year of the Tribune.
Enjoy this newspaper so
much; such a pleasure to read
about hometown people with such
loving and generous attitudes
toward one another.
I do hope Beth continues to
improve. So sorry to read about
her fall. I think of her often and
hope all is going well. Please give
her my best wishes.
Kindest Regards,
Juanita Carlton Wingo
Note: Thank you, Juanita. My
mother is doing better and should
be in rehab as of Thursday of this
week. She is taking a few steps
now and her pain is much better.
We sure appreciate all the thoughts
and prayers that have been offered
up on her behalf.

Thanks, Dayna & Bill,

Hope you’re well.

Bill and Dayna,
From reading the paper, it
seems as if all is right with you and
your family. All six of us Frenches
are doing well – we’re busy and
keeping out of trouble!
Here is my check for another
year of fun reading. Thanks for the
reminder.
Love and lollipops,
June French Holloway

Thanks for the reminder.
I look forward to the paper
each week. And, the speech by Mr.
Huser was super – also enjoy Mr.
Graham’s writings.
But, I missed Dayna’s news!
Hope to make the reunion
God Bless

June Gann stopped by the
office Friday. She has been having
some health problems and the
doctor gave her a patch to wear
and she had a bad reaction to it.
She said it made her feel like she
was having a stroke. She was still
not feeling up to par.
She said she and Dale
celebrated their 59th wedding
anniversary on May 23 and Dale
was telling everyone it was their
95th. I’m not sure if he is dyslexic
or feels like he’s been married
forever! Makes me wonder how
June feels! (just kidding, Dale!)
—DD—
Bill’s uncle, Elbert Langdon,
celebrated his 97th birthday Sunday.
He is an amazing gentleman. Elbert
is still very active and seldom
misses Sunday school and church.
Bill was telling me this
weekend about when “Pete”
Sweten died at an early age. He
owned a local jewelry shop. The
Swetens and Bill’s family both
lived in the apartments at 209 N.
Oak. Their son Larry and Bill were
close friends from grade school
on.
Pete had a heart attack one
night and passed away. His wife
Juanita did not know what she was
going to do. She called Elbert who
had helped them some part-time
to tell him what had happened.
Within two days, Elbert had quit
his regular job and went to work
for her full time so she would not
have to close the store.
Elbert has helped so many
folks over the years.

Our friend Sandy Moss was by
the office Monday. She told us that
her son Brandon (HHS ’90) is with
a group that is doing mission work
in Haiti this week. Keep them in
your prayers.
Those that do mission work
have a special place in our hearts.
—DD—
Nancy Inman was by the office
Tuesday. I did not know until then
that she had retired in December.
I know that she and husband Jim
will have many things they want to
do. We don’t see them often, but
always enjoy visiting with them.
—DD—
Gary LaValley was by the
office Monday. He had been to the
funeral of Sue Huff.
She will be greatly missed. Sue
was kind to everyone and really
enjoyed her retirement.
Gary and Sue have both
attended the East Main Church of
Christ for many years and were
long time friends.
—DD—
Our good friends and
neighbors, Sam and Willa Mae
McClure celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary this past
weekend with a celebration held at
the First Baptist Church in Calvin.
Unfortunately, we were out of town
and were unable to attend, but we
wanted to congratulate them and
wish them many more happy years
together.
