Recall seeing Daily Bros. as a kid in Mississippi. As I remember, the ticket wagon was painted with the show's title and "Doug Autry, In Person." When the ticket window was lifted, it covered "Doug." When patrons read "...Autry, In Person" they MIGHT have assumed it was another Autry in their town today.

Long ago, either BANDWAGON or WHITE TOPS, ran a great article on movie cowboys on circuses. Seems the Gene Autry people got into court and had the Doug Autry promotion altered or ended. Can anyone bring in the details?
