36. Here are a couple of refs...

About 2/3 of the way down the page, see Roskom's reference to The Alamo scene.
http://jssgallery.org/paintings/el_jaleo.htm

Then for the connection with John Wayne, see:
http://www.4020.net/words/favourites.php#movies

A short way down the page, see the reference to Robert Hughes (who first mentioned the connection) and his 1997 book, _American Visions,
pp.250-252.

Remember that Wayne was married four times and all of his wives were Hispanic women, which may somewhat explain his exposure to and love of the Singer painting.

hope this helps...
