Roy Rogers & Trigger
From the Clarion County Historical Society ARCHIVES: Roy Rogers & Trigger, 1941.
~One of the most successful duos in entertainment history visited
Clarion in 1941 when
"The King of The Cowboys", Roy Rogers, and "The
Smartest Horse In The Movies", Trigger, appeared at the Orpheum Theater
on Main St. in Clarion.
By accident, Trigger kicked a hole in the movie screen and it had to be replaced.
When making personal appearances, Roy always tried to place Trigger and his fancy horse trailer outside of the building or arena where they were appearing before the show. He wanted all the kids to be able to see Trigger, especially the ones that couldn't afford to buy a ticket.
