Notes; Gene Autry oater that was rationed out by Union theatres over 32 weeks for a mere 13 engagements. Only dear old Port Melbourne screened it at the top of the bill. Like much similar fare it most likely did better on the country or Saturday matinee circuit. In the suburbs, the metrics were predictably low.
