First up my ten favorite serial hero actors.

The Spider&#8217;s Web (1938)
The Secret Code (1942)

		<title>Serial of the Month: The Perils of Pauline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the past month seems to be a month of remakes; The Wolfman, The Crazies; I thought I would highlight a serial remake.  Like the new versions of classic films I just mentioned, The Perils of Pauline (1933) has not fared well with the critics when compared to the original.
Professor Hargave (James Durkin) and his [...]

		<title>Villain of the Month: Jack Roberts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jack Roberts made a good living in Hollywood as a bit player.  Debuting in film as Sergeant # 2 in The Bold Caballero (1936), he followed it up by being strangled by Richard Alexander in Republic&#8217;s serial SOS Coastguard (1937).  His biggest role in film was the following year, playing Dude, one of Charles Middleton&#8217;s [...]

		<title>Hero of the Month: James Durkin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many respected supporting players in film came from the stage.  Though they never became major stars they worked constantly and always delivered solid performances.  One such dependable supporting player from the theater was James Durkin, who came to Hollywood after decades of playing the boards.
Starting with Shadow of the Law (1930), Durkin was a tireless [...]

		<title>Republic Top Ten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fans love to make lists of favorites and I thought I would make a list of my favorite serials but after a few days the list got ungainly, I think when I stopped I had about forty-seven and was still going.  The list was also becoming extremely Republic top heavy.  So instead I compiled four [...]

		<title>New Serial Book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am always surprised and happy when someone comes out with a new book on serials, like classic horror or westerns, just when you think there is nothing new to be said someone proves you wrong.
