Auction History Result 6p450 IN OLD SANTA FE 1sh '34 great art of cowboys Ken Maynard & first Gene Autry w/guitar! Date Sold 11/29/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) In Old Santa Fe, the 1934 Joseph Kane singing cowboy western musical ("An Unusual Western. Colorful - with Music and A Beautiful Background") starring Ken Maynard, Tarzan (billed as "with his Wonder Horse 'Tarzan'"), Evalyn Knapp, H.B. Warner, Kenneth Thomson, George 'Gabby' Hayes (billed as "George Hayes"), Gene Autry ("Radio's singing cowboy"; "Cowboy idol of the air"), Wheeler Oakman, George Burton, George Chesebro, Smiley Burnette (uncredited in his first film), and Bob Nolan (uncredited as Maynard's singing voice and in his first film). Note that this was Gene Autry's very first movie, although he had been a singing radio cowboy for several years prior to this movie's release, and that many experts on B-Westerns agree that this film is one of the three greatest B-Westerns ever made! Also note that this movie was clearly set in "Old Santa Fe", but we don't know if that meant it was in New Mexico (or maybe Old Mexico!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there are two different versions of this poster. They look similar, but one of them has a stone litho image and the other has an offset image, and Gene Autry's credit is different on the two posters. In the past, we thought they might have both been created in 1934, but as we have built a huge database of litho numbers over the years, we now feel certain that the "non-stone litho" version IS from 1934, and that the "stone litho" version is from 1939 (which makes sense, because the 1934 poster has Gene Autry billed as "Radio's Singing Cowboy", and the 1939 poster has him billed as "The World's Greatest Cowboy Singer". We guess that in 1934, this was nothing more than a B-western, so they did not spend a lot of money on the poster, but by 1939, Autry was a much bigger star, and the movie likely got a more significant release, and they made a new stone litho version of the poster for that release! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold and three small horizontal tears scattered in the vertical foldline. It has three extra faint vertical foldlines and some faint smudges scattered in the image. After a simple linenbacking, the poster will look great and it will require little paint restoration within the image. Learn More about condition grades
