California Boasts Arizona-Like ‘Set’

HOLLYWOOD, June 21–Gene Autry, who usually flies his movie company hundreds of miles in order to obtain authentic backgrounds for his westerns, found what he wanted for “The Cowboy and the Indians” practically in his own backyard–relatively speaking.

He found a bit of Arizona only 30 minutes’ flying time away from Hollywood–at Pioneertown, Calif., a few miles from Palm Springs.
