axy of cowboy heroes to choose from,” a publicist put it. Outsiders consider it a test of the theory that, while little boys worship cowboy idols, little girls also worship cowboy idols, leaving the cowgirl somewhat less important than the hero’s horse. Autry, star of countless Western epics in his own right, has great con¬ fidence in the new venture, however, and has put the full resources of his Flying A productions company behind it. Gene first met Gail while she was appearing in camp shows in Texas and asked her to look him up if she ever decided to try her luck in Holly¬ wood. A year later, she appeared at Columbia Pictures studio, which makes and distributes his theater films, and asked for a chance. Featured In Movies Gail took a series of screen tests, then was cast as Gene’s leading lady in “Cow Town.” Autry found the pub¬ lic response greater than for any other feminine player in his long series of horse operas. Since then, Gail has ap¬ peared in 15 of his feature length mo¬ tion pictures and 30 of his TV films. Annie is her first solo venture. She is the daughter of Dr. William B. Grayson, a surgeon. Gail was born in Little Rock, Ark., and lived for a time in the town of McGehee, Ark., 108 miles south. She began dancing lessons at the age of two and also studied singing. Her mother was a church soloist. From Little Rock High School, she went to Harcum Junior College for Girls in Bryn Mawr, Pa., and then at¬ tended Texas University, where she became one of the Texas Blue Bonnet Belles. She won a total of eight beauty titles during her high school and col¬ lege careers. Gail can ride and shoot, although Badman Rlc Vallin is foiled by Annie; atk this range, the miss just can't miss, r Jimmie Hawkins plays Gail's kid brother. not up to Annie Oakley standards. But she hasn’t hunted since the childhood day when she saw a wounded rabbit. She does play tennis and golf and is a fine swimmer. Brad Johnson is “Lofty Craig,” the deputy sheriff, who is (guess what) the silent suitor for Annie’s hand. Brad is six feet, four inches tall, weighs 199 pounds, but he doesn’t have to do as much “rescuing” as the average Western deputy sheriff. Annie, with her sure eye on the sights and her steady hand on the trigger, is able to take care of most of the desperadoes without any help from the male sex.
