Allan 'Rocky' Lane (September 22, 1909 – October 27, 1973) was an American studioleading man and the star of many cowboyB-movies in the 1940s and 1950s. He appeared in more than 125 films and TV shows in a career lasting from 1929 to 1966. He is best known for his portrayal of Red Ryder and for being the voice of the talking horse on the television series Mister Ed, beginning in 1961.

Biography[edit]

Lane was born as Harry Leonard Albershardt or Albershart (sources differ) in Mishawaka, Indiana^[1] to Linnie Anne and William H. Albershardt.^[2] He grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan.^[3] Lane had been a photographer, model and stage actor by age 20.

Lane played varsity sports (baseball, football, and basketball) at the University of Notre Dame but dropped out in order to pursue his interests in acting.^[4]

Film career[edit]

He was spotted by Fox Film Corporation (later 20th Century Fox) talent scouts and was signed to a contract. His first film role for Fox was as a romantic lead opposite June Collyer in the 1929 release, Not Quite Decent (now a lost film). He made several other films at Fox but jumped ship to Warner Bros.^[1] in the early 1930s.^{[citation needed]}

While at Warner his career foundered, and after a number of bit parts he left films in the early 1930s. By 1936, Lane returned to films and to 20th Century Fox, taking supporting roles in the drama Laughing at Trouble and the Shirley Temple film Stowaway. After several more supporting roles at Fox, Lane longed for a starring role; therefore, he took the lead in a Republic Pictures' short feature, The Duke Comes Back (1937).

From 1929 through 1936, he appeared in twenty-four films. He was in 1938's The Law West of Tombstone. In 1940, he portrayed 'RCMP Sergeant Dave King', the role becoming one of his most notable successes.^{[citation needed]} The first was King of the Royal Mounted, a 12-part 1940 serial^[5] adaptation of Zane Grey's King of the Royal Mounted. He starred in several Royal Canadian Mounted Police films, including the serials The Yukon Patrol and King of the Mounties. He is best remembered for these today.^{[citation needed]}

In 1946 and 1947, he portrayed Red Ryder in seven films, replacing Wild Bill Elliott in that role.^[6] The following year, he became 'Rocky Lane' in Western films.

Between 1940 and 1966, Lane made eighty-two film and television series appearances, mostly in westerns. Between 1947 and 1953, he made over 30 B-movie westerns (as 'Rocky' Lane) with his faithful horse 'Black Jack'.

His last roles were in voice over acting, including providing the speech for Mister Ed (1961–1966). He was never credited on-screen for providing the voice for Mister Ed.^[7]

In 2003, he won the TV Land Award posthumously for the category 'Favorite Pet-Human Relationship' as Mr. Ed.^[8]

Death[edit]

Lane died in California of cancer in 1973, at age 64.

In popular culture[edit]

Between 1965 and 1968 a celebrity comic was created around Rocky Lane's cowboy persona, written and drawn by Brazilian comics artist Primaggio Mantovi. ^[9]

Lane was one of the movie cowboys named in the lyrics of the song “Whatever Happened To Randolph Scott” by The Statler Brothers, which became a hit single in 1974.

Before explaining a basic blackjack strategy, we should first consider our objective. There are many books that define the objective of blackjack as getting a hand as close as possible to 21. Unfortunately this is not always true. The objective in blackjack is to beat the dealer, and understanding this is your first step on the road to become a winning blackjack player. To win in blackjack it is possible to beat the dealer by holding a hand that is very far from 21– a 12 or 13, for example. It is important to remember that there are two ways to win: The first way to win is by having a hand with a higher total than the dealer. The second way is to have the dealer break or bust their hand. Most players seldom pay attention to the second form of winning. Players often think that they must always get as close as possible to 21. These players hit more often that they should and end up busting their hand and losing more often than they should.

Casino rules give the dealer one major advantage and one major disadvantage. The dealers major advantage is that he always draws last. If the dealer breaks after you have broken –which in reality is a tie – the dealer still wins that hand. The major disadvantage that the dealer has is that he must draw if he has 16 or less. This means that with hands totaling 12 to 16, it is possible that the next card may bust their hand. As a player you can capitalize on this handicap by making the right decisions about whether to draw or stand.

It’s true that most players lose because they hit too often and end up breaking their hand. There are those that unrealistically hope that the dealer will break and actually do not hit enough. You can not rely on a hunch when it comes to deciding whether you should hit or stand, logic must be used. If the dealer is showing a 2, 3, 4, or 5, you know that they must hit, no matter what the value of her hole card is. Knowing this you should stand on a lower hand value, such as 13, and wait for the dealer to break. Conversely, if the dealer has showing a high card (a 9 or 10), you would want to hit trying to get as close to 21 as possible. The logic behind this is that there is a very good chance that the dealer’s hole card is also high, and with a hand totally more than 16 they must stand.

Most recreational gamblers are unaware of the tremendous amount of research that has been done to provide blackjack players with the best possible basic blackjack strategy for playing the hands, which will take the advantage the casino has over the player down to the absolute minimum. To understand the strategy, you must remember the three variables involved in making blackjack decisions – your two cards and the dealer’s up-card. These three variables are expressed in about 550 different possible combinations, many of these decisions are similar, and it only takes about 30 rules cover all of them.

There are some small differences among the basic blackjack strategies which are a result of the use of more decks in the different games and rules variations between casinos. Generally, the multi-deck strategy is more conservative than the strategy used for a single deck game. A good example of this is the player’s hand of 11 versus a dealer up-card of ace. In the single deck game, the player has a better chance of drawing the 10, because there is only 52 cards in the deck. The correct play in this situation is to double down. The more cards in the multi-deck shoe game reduces the chances of drawing the 10, so the correct play in this situation to hit instead of doubling down.

Basic Blackjack Strategy for Standard Multi-Deck Shoe Blackjack

Here are some typical casino rules for the standard multi-deck shoe games:

Double down on any two cards
Split pairs up to four times
Double down permitted after splitting

If the casino does not permit doubling after splitting, make the following modifications to basic blackjack strategy:
