John Wayne fans will appreciate the name of this tavern on Pa. Rt, 10 in Reading. "Trooper Thorn" was the nom de guerre of his character Sean Thornton as a prize fighter in my favorite of his films - The Quiet Man. Filmed on location in the Emerald Isle, directed by John Ford, co-starring Maureen O'Hara and featuring such Ford repertory stalwarts as Victor McLaglen and Ward Bond and with a delighful supporting cast including Barry Fizgerald, Mldred Natwick and Francis Ford, The Quiet Man is a nearly perfect film.
