I just love the following statement made by Moe J. Siegel in the Spring of 1938 while Mr. Siegel was president of Republic Productions:

That might have been Mr. Siegel’s understanding (since he was in New York and not Studio City, CA) when Dad became Roy Rogers and starred in “Under Western Stars.”  That picture was released in April of 1938. But, Dad actually starred in three more movies that were released that same year: “Billy The Kid Returns” in September, 1938; “Come On Rangers” in November, 1938; and, “Shine On Harvest Moon” in December, 1938.

Of course, Dad never did replace Gene Autry! They became great friends and both worked at Republic for many more years.

Hi!  All of you who can make it to the Gene Autry Museum in Gene Autry, OK this coming weekend are in for a real treat!!!  Lots of music, cowboy poets, celebrities and good food!

My incredible, talented, computer expert partner, Bob Terry

is going to be the daytime emcee. Bob and his family will also be performing (he’s an incredible singer and musician). Bob is the partner who is making it possible to bring you movies, interviews, commercials, etc. on my WesternStarsTheater.com website and our YouTube channels.  I sure hope you are taking advantage of these free channels and finding plenty of old Westerns to watch and enjoy!

Here is a flyer listing the performers and celebrities you will see at the Gene Autry Museum this weekend:
