Gene Autry Double Features at the Autry Museum
Updated September 19, 2018
Saturday matinee double features (the screening of two motion pictures for the price of one) were an industry standard in the first half of the 20th century. In 2018, the Autry Museum of the American West continues the tradition with its own Saturday matinee double features starring America's Favorite Singing Cowboy, Gene Autry. On the fourth Saturday of every other month, two Gene Autry films are screened in the museum's Wells Fargo Theater.
The October 27th Gene Autry Double Feature theme is
"The Same But Different"
Gene Autry and Ann Rutherford in
Public Cowboy No. 1 (1937).
Gail Davis, Champion, and Gene Autry in
The Old West (1952).
Every Gene Autry fan knows that his movies have music, comedy, and action as well as a lovely leading lady, a humorous sidekick, and of course Gene's horse Champion. Over time the key elements of his movies remained the same but with a different twist. Most notably the pre-World War II films, such as Public Cowboy No. 1 (1937) took place in contemporary times with humorous songs from sidekick Smiley Burnette and included a strong, independent leading lady. Post-war films like The Old West (1952) often took place in the past with fewer songs that often had a religious theme and the leading lady was in a more passive role. Little Champ even joins the World's Wonder Horse, Champion in this film. Our Double Feature this month will let you compare what is "the same but different" in these two popular Gene Autry B Westerns.
