Gene Autry Double Feature: Boots and Saddles (1937) and Gold Mine in the Sky (1938)

On the fourth Saturday of every other month, two Gene Autry films are screened in the Imagination Gallery’s Western Legacy Theater. Gene Autry’s Westerns are known for their music, comedy, and action. In Boots and Saddles, Gene sings the classic tunes “Take Me Back to My Boots and Saddle,” and “The One Rose That’’s Left in My Heart,” while Smiley provides the comedy, and there is plenty of action in a cross-country horse race. In Gold Mine in the Sky, Gene once again sings terrific tunes along with the Stafford Sisters and J.L. Frank’s Golden West Cowboys, and Smiley sings the humorous songs “That’s How Donkeys Were Born” and “I’m a Tumbleweed Tenor.” Chicago racketeers, cattle rustling, kidnapping. and an attempted murder bring plenty of action for Gene, Smiley, and Champion.
