GENE AUTRY
Signed lobby card for the 1944 film Firebrands of Arizona
Lobby card signed "Gene Autry". Color, 14x11. Lobby card for Firebrands of Arizona (1944) with Autry's longtime sidekick Lester Alvin "Smiley" Burnette. Autry (1907-1998, born Orvon Grover Autry in Tioga, Texas), 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 to 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 to 1956, and The Adventures of Champion, which starred Autry's horse, also ran on CBS from 1955 to 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. Lightly toned and soiled. Printing errors (red specks) through center section. Tack holes at corners and center top and bottom margins. Otherwise in fine condition.
