Tossup

In a film, this character shoots a ruffian who is preventing a drunk Shakespearian from giving his performance of The Convict’s Oath. Burt Lancaster played this character in a 1957 John Sturges film that retroactively gave its name to one of his exploits. Many screenplays about this buddy of William S. Hart are adapted from a made-up (15[1])1931 biography by Stuart Lake. This person’s teenage brother is killed guarding a (*) herd of cattle in a film in which he duels a whip-cracking patriarch played by Walter Brennan. This person, who spent the 20s consulting on films like Wild Bill Hickok, was dead by the time Henry Fonda played him in the John Ford Western My Darling Clementine. For 10 points, name this lawman who fought in a (10[1])shootout in Tombstone. (10[1])■END■
