An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 4 1/2" x 6" [11 x 15 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More)

The Painted Desert, the 1931 Howard Higgin cowboy western (about two men who find an abandoned baby and they spend the rest of their lives arguing over who should have custody) starring William Boyd (billed as "Bill Boyd"), Helen Twelvetrees, William Farnum, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Clark Gable (in his very first real movie; he played a villain!). Note that Gable had appeared in 13 movies between 1923 and 1926, but all in uncredited roles, and he became disillusioned and went to Broadway, where he achieved success. He had one more uncredited role in 1930, but most people consider this his first "real" movie, because he played the lead villain.
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that this was Clark Gable's first real movie. He was not pictured on the one-sheet, but he IS pictured on the inside of this herald (he gets a prominent profile image to the left of the film synopsis)!

Condition: good. The herald was glued to an album and there are glue stains on the back cover and some stains and discoloration on the other pages (see our images). They are not all that distracting, but we leave it to the bidders to decide how important these defects are.
