Auction History Result 5j1446 RAWHIDE LC 1938 baseball legend Lou Gehrig & Smith Ballew beat entire bar full of guys! Date Sold 11/21/2023 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) Rawhide, the 1938 Ray Taylor cowboy western ("Daring Death Valley Dangers") starring Smith Ballew, Lou Gehrig ([By arrangement with Christy Walsh]; yes, the New York Yankees baseball sports legend in his only big screen acting role!), Evalyn Knapp, Arthur Loft, and Si Jenks NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this great scene from Rawhide (the only movie baseball legend Lou Gehrig ever acted in) shows Gehrig and Smith Ballew standing back to back having defeated a bar full of bad guys. Legendary director George Stevens would use this imagery exactly in his classic movie "Shane" a dozen years later, with Alan Ladd and Van Heflin in the same pose. One wonders if Stevens saw this movie and copied it! Condition: very good to fine. The card has creases in the top blank corners and a few faint tiny dot stains in the blank borders, but is otherwise in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
