Gene Gets Discovered promo for Doublemint gum dealers

Is there any one of us, who at some time or other in our lives, has not secretly pictured himself as the knight in shining armor, astride a powerful charger thundering through adventure and hardships to a romantic rescue?

The American symbol of all these characters is the cowboy of our own western planes and deserts, who lives close to nature relying more than any of us do today, on himself alone and his ever faithful horse.

Our hero of Melody Ranch is Gene Autry, America's favorite singing cowboy, who is a symbol of the clean thinking, honesty, and integrity of the American people. Gene has achieved success through his fine work in Republic Pictures.

Millions of pictures go as knowing and loving. Much of his success is due to the fact that he, personally, lives the characters he depicts. Many of us can still remember the many characters made famous by Horatio Alger.

Gene Autry's own history is an Alger story as you'll hear in a moment. But now, meet the boss of our imaginary melody ranch, Gene Autry. Thank you Ken and hello everybody. You know, riding herd on a string of words is kind off my range, particularly when I'm speaking to so many of you all at once.

But I do want to say howdy, real friendly like, and say greetings to you all. I know lots of you folks have seen me, but come to think of it, I haven't had a chance to say how to it to so many of you before.

Well, I...uh, shucks. I guess my old guitar and a song can say it better than I can. Come where we round up the blues, and try to lose every trouble and woe. We brand them one by one and start them on the run and down the trail watch them go.
