Note that Columbia had personal troubles with star Ken Maynard, even though he was very popular, and they signed Bob Allen to make cowboy movies, and this was the first of six that he made for Columbia. But he couldn't sing, and when singing cowboys became all the rage, his cowboy career was over! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the crossfolds and many creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss down the vertical fold, with greater paper loss in the center of the top border that extended into the top of the "N" of "NEW". There were extra creases and a few tears on the horizontal foldlines. There were many scattered smudges and tiny dot stains throughout the image, mostly in the solid colored areas. The borders had many tears, smudges, stains, and areas of paper loss. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who did the restoration put new blank white paper over all the borders to even out the appearance (but the small writing at the bottom of the poster was not covered over). The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
