Has That Something

The type of cowboy music
which they have created has
been recognized by musical au-
thorities as possessing that in
tangible something" which is
characteristic of all folk songs.
r It remained for Republic Pro-
auctions to bring Rogers and
the Sons Of the Pioneers to-
gether before the movie cam
Aeraas, after they had appeared
separately in numerous other
western films.
They recorded five consecu-
tive trumphs. Now they have
just completed their sixth to-
gether.
At the moment, both Rogers
and the cowboy songsters have
other contract obligations facing
them.
When these are fulfilled, Re-
public is planning to bring them
together in still more pictures.

Rogers used to be with these
Sons of the Pioneers on the
radio, where they won acclaim
together.
Now they are winning even
greater praise together on the
screen. The critics consensus IS:
They are really good"
Their universal appeal lies in

Finally Gets Break

Work was not easy to obtain,
however. and not until 1882 did
he begin to attract attention.
His big break came when he
was signed up to sing on the
Sons of the Pioneers" radio
program.
Later. when the group ar
rived in Hollywood while on a
personal appearance tour, Roy
was found by a talent scout,
and he got his first motion pic
ture job.
At first he was assigned only
singing parts and minor roles
in westerns. Then came the
biggest break of all, when Re-
public Studios signed him on a
long term contract.

The Rogers family moved to
Cincinnati while Roy was a
child, and 1t was there that he
went TO school.
His family wanted him TO
study for the dental profession.
but Roy possessed a mellow
tenor voice and a knack OF
stunning tantalizing chords on
a guitar, and the radio intrigued
him. So he packed up his gui-
tar and headed for New York.
