An Undated (probably 1939) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Texas Terror, the 1935 Robert N. Bradbury romantic action cowboy western starring John Wayne, Lucile Browne, LeRoy Mason, Fern Emmett, George 'Gabby' Hayes, and Jay Wilsey NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that all one-sheets from John Wayne movies that were printed in the 1930s can be extremely difficult to date (unless, of course, the poster is actually dated). This is because John Wayne was so popular in the 1930s, that his movies were often re-released, and sometimes the re-release posters contain all new artwork, sometimes the equal of the first release posters. The greatest number of 1930s re-releases occurred in late 1939 after Wayne's great success in "Stagecoach" and "Allegheny Uprising". Warner Brothers re-released his early Vitagraph movies at that time, and Monogram re-released his early Lone Star movies at that time. The Warner Brothers posters say "Star of Stagecoach and Allegheny Uprising", but the Monogram posters are more difficult to date. It is generally believed that the Monogram posters that credit Gabby Hayes on the poster date from around 1939, as he became a well-known star at this time as well. IN ANY EVENT, THESE LATE 1930s RE-RELEASE POSTERS ARE JUST AS RARE AS THE ORIGINALS! In some cases, no one has ever seen even a single example of the "first release" poster. 1930s John Wayne posters are so rare, that one must be willing to accept a re-release, especially if it has striking art! Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The poster had some small areas of surface paper loss on and by John Wayne's figure (two in his hat, one on his cheek, and two on his upper arm) that apparently occurred after the poster was linenbacked. I am certain a top restorer could restore those specific areas without re-backing the poster. Other than the above defects, the poster had some paper loss in the blank borders, small paper loss at the crossfolds, and some tears and creases along the foldlines. The above defects were nicely restored, although you can see them from close up. Once the surface paper loss described above is restored, the poster will look great!
