Auction History Result 5r1477 THREE TEXAS STEERS LC 1939 close up of John Wayne & Carole Landis, Three Mesquiteers, rare! Date Sold 12/21/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Three Texas Steers, the 1939 George Sherman circus cowboy western ("Based on characters created by William Colt MacDonald") starring The Three Mesquiteers (John Wayne, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan and Max Terhune), Carole Landis, Ralph Graves, Roscoe Ates, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the gorilla). Note that oddly, the plot of this movie included a beautiful young circus owner, which allowed for the inclusion of the stock "gorilla" that seemed to appear in lots of 1930s and 1940s movies, plus "little people". Also note that the beautiful young circus owner is played by Carole Landis, in her first real role (after two more similar roles, she made "One Million B.C.", and became a major star)! Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! What is really impressive about it this time is that in this case, Corrigan was one of the main stars of the movie, so not only did he have to wear a gorilla suit for some scenes, but he had to do it in between scenes where he was one of the Three Mesquiteers!

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned nine first release lobby cards from this movie, but we have never before auctioned THIS card! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: fair. The card had staining in the girl's face. It had pinholes, smudges, and stains around the edges, and someone wrote a date in the irght of the bottom border. Some restorer painted over much of the girl's features, and it is quite noticeable, but they did not otherwise restore the card (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
