An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Two-Sheet Movie Poster (2sh; measures 42" x 56") (Learn More) Col. Tim McCoy in Person, the 1930's stock poster for Col. Tim McCoy movies. Note that Tim McCoy was one of Columbia's two very top western stars of the early 1930s (along with Buck Jones). But after 32 movies for Columbia in the 1930s, McCoy left Columbia in 1936, and signed with Sam Katzman of tiny Puritan Pictures. In 1938, McCoy had the idea to revive the "Wild West" shows which had been so popular in the early 1900s, and which he had seen as a boy. These shows would have real former cowboys and Indians, and attempt to show the audiences what the real wild west had been like, in a circus-like environment. But McCoy had misjudged the interest of the American public, and after touring for just 21 days, he disbanded the Wild West show, and returned to Hollywood and made a long series of westerns for small studios like Victory, PRC, and Monogram.
