An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (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. Condition: fine. even though I have no proof, it is easy to tell this card originally came from the "Royal Theater Collection"! This was a collection discovered in Canada which included many linen lobby cards that not only were in wonderful condition, but also had not darkened, as had 99% of all Warner Bros. linen cards known up to that time! The card is in wonderful condition, but it has an oddity. The right edge is slightly diagonal, and the card measures 13 3/4" at the top edge and 14 1/8" at the bottom edge! I would say this is surely an odd printing defect, for if it had been trimmed by hand, it could not be greater than 14" at the lower edge. Other than this oddity, the card is about as perfect as one could imagine! Learn More about condition grades
