Rhythm of the Rio Grande, the 1940 Albert Herman (billed as "Al Herman") Texas singing cowboy western musical starring Tex Ritter, White Flash (billed as "and his horse White Flash"), Suzan Dale, Warner P. Richmond, Frank Mitchell, and Slim Andrews (billed as "'Arkansas Slim' Andrews")

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this one-sheet, and the last one was 16 years ago! There is another one-sheet that looks like it could be first release, but it has a different image, and Suzan Dale, Warner Richmond, and Frank Mitchell have been removed from the credits, surely because all three saw their career pretty much end after 1940, so they would have been forgotten before the movie was re-released, likely in the mid 1940s.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had minor fold and border wear. It had a minor printing defect, which resulted in red lines down the right border and two red areas in the left and right of the top border, extending into the image slightly. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
