By 1935, Republic had become a studio and released its first movie, \u003ci\u003eWestward Ho!\u003c\/i\u003e starring a young John Wayne, who would stay with Republic for the next 17 years. Republic would go on to produce highly successful Westerns starring singing cowboys Gene Autry and Roy Rogers as well as serial adventure series. The studio cranked out so many exciting (not to mention money-making) serials that it became known as \"The Thrill Factory.\" Occasionally, Republic would produce and distribute \"A\" features, such as \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Quiet Man,\u003c\/i\u003e but it was the \"B\" Westerns and adventure serials that they knew best how to produce and market. Until its demise in 1959, Republic fed hungry moviegoers with a steady diet of \"B\" Westerns, serials, dramas, series pictures and musicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   \u003ci\u003eThe Republic Pictures Checklist\u003c\/i\u003e provides a full listing of Republic releases, with plot synopses, release dates, alternate titles, chapter titles and awards.
