Before bringing this historical

The other benefactor to the life

'Indian Territory'
Stars Gene Autry
I As a sergeant in the United
! States Cavalry in /‘Indian Terri
| tory,” Gene Autry returns to the
! Viecar Theatre screen on Friday.
The new Columbia film offers
i the world’s greatest cowboy in ac
! tion-packed story of the Western
frontier, in the post-Civil War
period when the Apaches were be
ing incited to raiding and other
border diturbances by renegade
whites.
Autrj', as a Confederate Army
captain who has rejoined the |
United States Army, is assigned 1
the task of subduing the rioters
and smashing the group of gun- |
runners responsible. He succeeds,
after an arduous program of
horsemanship, gunmanship and
fist-swinging thrills. The United
States Cavalry also figures prom
inently.
Coupled with the basic story
element of “Indian 'territory”
are such equally interesting
themes as the rivalry between
[Autry and the Army lieutenant
[ under whom he serves, as well
as the romantic appeal of lovely
Gail Davis as the daughter of a
rancher.
