rst cowboy, is currently markm,
his fifteenth year as a top-rank
ing favorite with movie audiences
Advance reports of his new Co
lumbia action thriller, "Cov

Town “
The latest red-hot, red-flooded
Autry adventure is precipitated

his herds from marauding rust
lers and starvation, fences in the
open range with barbed wire. One
el the heavies, who would drive
the ranchers from the use of the

the barbed wire to sow dissension
among the cowboys and ranchers.
Range war flares, calling forth all
of Autry's substantial resources
as he blasts his enimies with ev
er.'’ weapon he can command, but
especially with his fists. Gene
■shoots, rides and lights like a
whirlwind as he battles to subdue
the villians and finally, brings to
a close a pitched gun battle be
tween two factions of ranchers, j
Highlights o! the action include
the terrific fisticuffs between Au
ti v and Steve Darrell, tine of the
heavies; rampaging cattle which
