An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #9 ("The Missing Spur") Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Lone Ranger, the 1938 John English & William Witney masked hero cowboy western serial ("The Lone Ranger A Man of Mystery"; "Republic Pictures presents The Motion Picture Version of 'The Lone Ranger'"; "Republic Serial in 15 Episodes"; "Based on the radio serial, 'The Lone Ranger' created by the radio station WXYZ Detroit, and written by Fran Striker"; the movie is set up unusually, with five men suspected of being The Lone Ranger, and the audience has no clue as to which man it is; they used Billy Bletcher's voice for the actual Lone Ranger, so that when each of the five men spoke their lines, the audience would not be able to pick them out as having the same voice as The Lone Ranger!) starring Lee Powell, Silver Chief (as Silver, the Lone Ranger's horse), Chief Thundercloud (billed as "Chief Thunder-Cloud"; as Tonto), Lynne Roberts, Hal Taliaferro (billed as "Wally Wales"), Bruce Bennett (sometimes billed as "Herman Brix"), Lane Chandler, George Montgomery, William Farnum, John Merton, Ted Adams, Charles King, and Iron Eyes Cody. Also, note that first release posters of any sort from this very first movie version of The Lone Ranger is extremely scarce, likely because it was bought by Lone Ranger fans decades ago, and has never returned to the hobby! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card shows four of the five rangers who ride together at the beginning of this serial, including Lee Powell, who later becomes "The Lone Ranger". The other three pictured rangers are Lane Chandler, Herman Brix, and Wally Wales (George Montgomery is missing). Condition: very good to fine. There were two circular punch holes in the left and right of the top blank border (blank white paper only). There are tiny pinholes in the left and right corners. Someone taped a piece from another card to the back of the top circular holes, and they also put a piece of tape on the back of the bottom left corner, apparently to reinforce a crease. There are very tiny pieces of clear tape on the middle of the left and right borders, where the card was likely once attached to a mat. Other than the above, the card is in nice condition, and other than the tape described above, the card is unrestored, with no other tape anywhere on the front or back of the card.
