Auction History Result 3p405 TOMBSTONE CANYON linen 1sh R38 different art of Bob Bazooka Burns headlined over Ken Maynard! Date Sold 12/7/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1938) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Tombstone Canyon, the 1932 Alan James cowboy western action mystery romantic melodrama starring Ken Maynard, Tarzan (billed as "and his wonder horse Tarzan"), Cecilia Parker, Sheldon Lewis, Frank Brownlee, Bob Burns (billed as "Bob 'Bazooka' Burns", in a very minor role), and Lafe McKee 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 this is a very odd poster! Bob Burns was a well known musical comedian of the 1930s. He created a character called "The Arkansas Traveler", a hillbilly-like guy with many wacky relatives, and he always played a homemade horn-like instrument called the "bazooka" (and he was often referred to as "Bob Bazooka Burns"). He appeared with Bob Crosby's band in the 1930s, which led to 12 movie appearances, always in character. He was married to fellow hillbilly Judy Canova from 1936 to 1939. He DID appear in this movie "Tombstone Canyon", but in a bit part at the beginning of his career. The poster kind of looks like a "stock poster", but it is clearly Ken Maynard in the inset images at bottom, so it would seem that this was part of some kind of re-release of Bob Burns movies (probably in the late 1930s), which would make this poster incredibly deceptive advertising! To add to the mystery, there was a different actor in the movie also named Bob Burns, but he was a stuntman who never had much of a career! If anyone knows more about this unusual poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?
