In Old Santa Fe is a 1934 Western film starring Ken Maynard and George "Gabby" Hayes. The movie features the first screen appearance of Gene Autry, singing a song with a bluegrass band that includes Smiley Burnette. Although both Autry and Burnette were unbilled, the scene acted as a screen test for a long series of subsequent singing cowboy films, beginning with The Phantom Empire, which had originally been slated for Maynard.
