Republic Pictures expected great things from this handsome, dimpled leading man, whom the studio placed under contract in April of 1944. He had been going nowhere at Columbia under the name of Stanley Brown, playing mostly young villains in Westerns, but the change of moniker and a starring role opposite vivacious Ruth Terry in the musical Sing, Neighbor, Sing, a typically cornpone Republic offering that also featured Roy Acuff and the Smoky Mountain Boys, promised a brighter future. It was not to be, however; after a few supporting roles, the studio dropped his option and Taylor left films for good.
