Auction History Result 2b1338 OKLAHOMA KID Other Company LC 1939 c/u of James Cagney & Donald Crisp with two guns drawn! Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Oklahoma Kid, the 1939 Lloyd Bacon cowboy western ("From an original story by Edward E. Paramore & Wally Klein"; about two Oklahoma families, one of whom wants to bring law and order to the territory, and the other who is an outlaw gang and wants to keep law and order far away) starring James Cagney (in the title role as Jim Kincaid), Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane, Donald Crisp, Harvey Stephens, Al J. Jennings, and Ward Bond. Note that James Cagney was a major Warner Bros. star at this time, but Bogart was not considered to be, in spite of his success in "The Petrified Forest" two years earlier. So Cagney got to play the "good guy", and Bogart played the "bad guy" (dressed all in black!), and Bogart was not pictured on the original release posters. When the movie was re-released in 1943 (this date is confirmed by the IMDb and handwriting that we saw on the back of a re-release poster), Bogart WAS pictured on the advertising, because he too was now a big star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
