Irene Dunne rides a high-wheel bike.

May 26, 2020

Irene Dunne, bonneted Old West-style, takes to her 19th century penny farthing on the set of Cimarron, the 1931 RKO feature that landed seven Academy Award nominations, including one for the cycling star pictured herein. (Richard Dix was the male lead; the western won three Oscars, for adapted screenplay, art direction and “outstanding production.”)

Here’s the snipe: “A NEW KIND OF CONTEST. Photo shows Irene Dunne, movie star, who has started a bicycle riding contest on the movie lot, between scenes of ‘Cimarron.’ She is shown on a high-wheeled bicycle that the girls are using for the contest.”
