HOME TOWN BOY
The folks down in Tioga, Texas,
are feeling pretty proud these days.
Not alone because their favorite son,
Gene Autry, has risen to top emin
ence as a screen star and receives a
bulk of fan mail weekly that rivals
Robert Taylor’s, but because he is
the same honest, unaffected, unspoil
ed boy he was years ago when he
roped cattle on his pappy’s ranch
and sang in his grandpappy’s church
choir.
Gene’s talents are not limited to
any one field. He can ride a horse
better than most Hollywood cow
boys. He can sing. He can play
plaintive tunes on the guitar, and
can compose the music he sings.
He makes some eight or ten pictures
a year on his Republic contract.
“Boots and Saddles,” which opens
Saturday at the Roosevelt Theatre
for a one day run, is the latest on
his Republic contract.
Judath Allen has the leading
