(1915) Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws

On page 9 of The Morning Tulsa Daily World, 14 May 1919, there was an ad entitled: Wonderland, concerning Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws. It was a three day history photo drama scripted primarily by Bill Tilghman, Oklahoma's noted ex-US Marshal.

The book and movie portrayal of the Ingalls battle between 13 lawmen and six members of Bill Doolin's gang, Rose of Cimarron makes a dramatic exit from the thole, carrying a rifle through a hail of bullets to her wounded lover, outlaw Bitter Creek Newcomb.

You could see Bud Ledbetter capture Al Jennings. See the fate of Tulsa Jack. See Cattle Annie and Little Breeches, and famous women bandits. You could also see special display of guns at theater every day.

They were also showing outlaw careers of Bill, Bill Dalton, Al Jennings, Henry Starr and Rose of the Cimarron.

Rose of the Cimarron was about a girl who loved an outlaw film version of Oklahoma's pioneer days. A story of love, adventure and romance. Boys and young men were especially invited to see this six-part picture and see the price of crime. A great moral lesson for men, women and children.

See the veteran officer Tilghman in the picture re-enact again the thrilling events of his official life that had passed into history.
