©Republic Pictures, Incorporated. Captioned at lower margin. Gene Autry
(1907-1998), the original singing cowboy, appeared in his first western in 1934.
He was the only western star to be listed among the top ten moneymakers from
1938-1942. In 1942, Autry was nominated for an Academy Award for Best
Song for "Be Honest With Me" from his film, Ridin' on a Rainbow.
The Gene Autry Show was televised on CBS from 1950-1956, and
The Adventures of Champion, which starred Autry's horse, also ran
on CBS from 1955-1956. Scheduled opposite the popular series, Rin Tin
Tin, it was cancelled in mid-season. Autry's business interests included
a radio and TV chain, ranches, oil wells, a flying school, a music
publishing company (he wrote 200 songs including "Here Comes Santa Claus") and
the California Angels baseball team. Defects from original negative have
reproduced on Storey's clothing. Fine condition.
