GENE AUTRY
MOVIES
In 1928 he began singing on a local radio station, and three
years later he had his own show and was making his first recordings. Three years
after that he made his film debut in "In Old Santa Fe" (1934) and
starred in a 13-part serial the following year for Mascot Pictures, "The
Phantom Empire" (1935). The next year he signed a contract with Republic
Pictures and began making westerns. Gene Autry ushered in the era of the
"singing cowboy" westerns of the 1930s and 1940s
