Steve Donovan, Western Marshal

Steve Donovan, Western Marshal

Steve Donovan, Western Marshal is an American Western series that aired in syndication from September 1955, to June 1956. The series stars Douglas Kennedy as Marshal Steve Donovan and Eddy Waller as his sidekick, Rusty Lee. The series, set in Wyoming, was also broadcast under the title Western Marshal. Donovan was a United States Marshal in the 19th century. He and Lee worked to provide peace on the open range and in towns that had no lawmen. Although the program was syndicated in 1955-1956, filming of episodes apparently began in 1951. At that time, the program's title was Steve Donovan, Western Ranger. Sam Chase's review of the first episode ("caught at a special showing") was printed in the February 17, 1951, issue of the trade publication Billboard. The review described the program as "a slick swift-paced item which shows the know-how [producer Jack] Chertok picked up in the course of turning out his Lone Ranger series."

We do?

Well, sure! We've only talked to a few people since we've been here in town.

Deputy Marshal Rusty Lee:
Then the Rowes are behind this thing, huh?

Yeah, it looks that way. There's only one trouble with it.

Deputy Marshal Rusty Lee:
What's that?

Marshal Steve Donovan:
We gotta prove it.
