Auction History Result 3j462 JOHN WAYNE 1sh '40s image of young smoking John Wayne, Gabby Hayes! Date Sold 12/15/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1940s Vintage Theatrical Folded Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) one of four John Wayne stock one-sheets (and an insert) used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these one-sheets was made by Lone Star Pictures itself in 1934, and has an artwork image of a cowboy on a horse that does not resemble John Wayne. The second of these was made in 1939 when John Wayne achieved major stardom with Stagecoach, and distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and one poster shows a recognizable John Wayne on a rearing horse with an inset image in the top right corner. There are two other Lone Star stock John Wayne posters that we believe date to the late 1940s (probably 1947), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one has him standing full-length by a tree, and the other has a closer image of him along with Gabby Hayes. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that after John Wayne achieved major stardom in 1939 with "Stagecoach", distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and many of them were shown in 1939 as the second half of a double bill, and re-releases of 1930s B-western John Wayne movies remained popular throughout the 1940s, as he continued to be a major star. This poster was overprinted with the title "'Neath The Arizona Skies". Condition: good to very good. There is writing on the back that slightly bleeds through to the front at lower right in the title. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
