An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Return of the Durango Kid, the 1945 Derwin Abrahams masked hero cowboy western ("Newest...And Greatest Wild West Hero!"; "Gallop to glory with a great new hero... Robin Hood of the Range!"; "Meet a great new western thrill star!"; "New... Different... Exciting...") starring Charles Starrett (in the title role as The Durango Kid), Tex Harding, Jean Stevens, John Calvert, and The Jesters (a western musical group that were a popular recording act in the early to mid 1940s, and they appeared in a handful of movies; they are not to be confused with the 1960s doo-wop group of the same name). Note that this was the first sequel to 1940's "The Durango Kid", but oddly, the producers used the tagline "Meet a great new western thrill star" (perhaps they felt that after five years, it was as if he was first appearing). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. There is some staining in the upper left corner and slight discoloration throughout the poster. There are a few 2" and smaller tears in the credits area at lower right and there is some tattering and creasing along the foldlines and edges of the poster from it being folded off-center at one time. There is a 1/2" circular area of paper loss in the green background at lower left. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the staining and discoloration can be removed through chemical means and after linenbacking the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
