An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Texas Bad Man, the 1932 Edward Laemmle cowboy western starring Tom Mix, Tony (Mix's horse), Lucille Powers, Fred Kohler, Willard Robertson, Joseph Girard, Bob Milasch, and Franklyn Farnum. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. The card had had all of its blank borders trimmed off (they were trimmed around the part of Mix's name that extended slightly into the top border). Some first rate restorer placed new borders around the edges of the card, and backed the card on to a very thin paper backing. There were a few pinholes within the image, but otherwise the image area of the card was in quite nice condition. The card looks fantastic now, and you really can't see any signs of the restoration unless you stare at the borders. I would think any Tom Mix fan would be quite happy to display this great card on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
