An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 13 3/4" x 18" [35 x 46 cm]) (Learn More)

The Miracle Rider, the 1935 B. Reeves Eason & Armand Schaefer Native American Indian cowboy western serial ("Sensational 15 episode serial of the Texas Rangers"; "Fifteen thrill-packed episodes with the greatest western star in the history of motion pictures!"; "The greatest western star rides again!"; "A Mascot Master Serial"; Mix is a Texas Ranger who helps Native Americans keep from getting their land stolen, and he is made an honorary chief) starring Tom Mix ("Foremost Western Star in the History of Motion Pictures"; "Idol of every boy in the world!"; "The outstanding Western Star of all time!..."; "His first serial! His greatest picture!"), Tony Jr. (billed as "with Tony, Jr."), Joan Gale, Charles Middleton, Robert Frazer, Niles Welch, Bob Kortman, Tom London, Edmund Cobb, and Charles King. This was basically Tom Mix's final movie after 280 films, and there are many interesting aspects to it. It had a very sympathetic portrayal of Native American Indians and their plight. The movie had ambitions of being an epic, and included scenes with such western legends as Buffalo Bill, Davy Crockett, and Daniel Boone. It also had several of the best known serial and western actors in it, including Charles Middleton, Iron Eyes Cody, and Yakima Canutt, and Olympic champion Jim Thorpe had a minor role! Note that Tom Mix had been the number one silent cowboy star, and that he had continued making westerns until 1929. Note that it has been said that Tom Mix's horse Tony (who co-starred with him in all those many silent movies) was the greatest horse ever in westerns (apparently he could untie knots with his teeth and he would run INTO burning buildings, something no other horse would do). He was in all of Mix's movies until Mix retired in 1929, Mix came out of retirement in 1932 and made five movies, all with "Tony Jr.", and then he retired again. If anyone knows more about why Tony stopped making movies in 1929 or about Tony Jr., and whether he was really Tony's son, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that this special fan club window card (which we have never auctioned before) was printed on window card stock and no doubt was sent to theaters in 1935 showing "The Miracle Rider", encouraging kids to join "The Tom Mix Miracle Riders" and get free pictures (and be eligible for "special Tom Mix prizes each week"). It mentions "watch for 'The Mystery Miracle Rider'" at the bottom, and that might have been a working title for this serial. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 18" [35 x 46 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded.

Condition: good. Although we have never auctioned this card before, our best guess is that 4" was trimmed from the top of the card, and that it was mostly blank area, except for the very top of the letters and the red border. The card has creases around the edges, with some water stains scattered throughout, but more so in the borders. It has a 2" tear in the top border.
