KIDS VOTE HIM TOPS

-oR the third successive year Gene Autry
has been selected by the National Ex-
hibitors as the leading cowboy actor of
the screen. His fan mail of 10000 letters
month far exceeds that of any other screen
personality. His phonograph records have
three times the sales of any other radio
crooner in America
Though the films in which he plays are
seldom if ever seen in the biggest theaters in
large cities, they earn far more, in proportion
to their cost, than those in which world
famous cinema stars appear.
In making recent personal-appearance
tour across the nation he broke all attendance
records. The citizens of the Texas town in
which he was born are now considering chang
ing its name to Autry Springs He is the idol
of boys in particular, bringing once again that
vision of the cinema West that seemed to
have ended with the chivalry and the glamor
of such reckless and nonchalant monarchs of
the vast and lonely places as Bill Hart, Tom
Mix and the carefree Harry Carey. Attending
preview of recent Autry film was the hard
riding Carey of another day. Now character
actor of ability he watched the players until
their roistering tale was ended. He was silent
a long time as we rode to his desert home.
DO you know why Autry gets the kids?" he
finally asked. "I1l tell you. They see more in
him than most of the older folks - He's an
eagle that sings" let it 60 at that.
From one ruler of the hearts of children to
another - it may be the answer.
Nearly six feet tall, gentle and oft-spoken,
Gene Autry has blue eyes and brown hair. He
is of French-Irish descent.
He has never worn dress suit. Neither
does he own an ordinary business suit. He
wears cowboy regalia instead. His horse
Champion, who equals him in popularity was
raised by him from colt.
Though Gene Autry has the friendliness of
the broad plains where no man is a stranger,
he was never real cowboy. The son of a
horse trader he early moved to Oklahoma
from Texas.
He learned to play saxophone at ten.
Then, realizing that he could not play it and
sing at the same time, he turned to the guitar.
His mother died early, and father and son
became close companions. Together they often
went on horse-trading expeditions, living in a
covered wagon, and thus he absorbed the
love of the western land and the sympathy
with its people that were later to make him
famous. Travelling in this manner for hun
