A 1938 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) The Fiddlin' Buckaroo, the 1933 Ken Maynard romantic musical singing cowboy western ("A bronco-bustin' bandit - wooing with his fiddle and fighting with a forty-five... and his famous horse 'Tarzan' carrying him through daring escapades!"; "A roaring Western plus great cowboy songs!"; "Story by Nate Gatzert"; Maynard and his best friend are cowboys who are accused of robbing a Post Office, which gets them arrested, but Tarzan rescues them from the jail, and later, Ken is kidnapped by the real crooks, and Tarzan rescues him yet again, and it turns out that Ken is actually a government agent sent to capture the gang, which he does single-handedly, with even more help from Tarzan) starring Ken Maynard (in the title role as Fiddlin'), Gloria Shea, Fred Kohler, Frank Rice, Jack Rockwell, Joseph W. Girard, Tarzan (Maynard's horse), and Hank Bell. Note that there is a sequence in the movie where Ken Maynard fiddles and sings some songs (which he had done in other westerns dating back to 1930), but we wonder if his heart was really in it, because a couple years later, when singing cowboys became all the rage, he did not really join in! Finally, note that Ken Maynard had worked for many studios prior to this, because his personal troubles, including alcoholism, made him difficult to work with. Still, Universal wanted him, and they hired him to not only star in this movie, but also to direct it and produce it. He made a total of eight pictures for Universal, and Carl Laemmle saw his eighth picture and said "Why did you make such a bad picture?" and Maynard replied "Actually, I made eight very bad pictures"!

The poster had tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of several folds (more so on the folds that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded, which fall in the folds in the "N" of "KEN" and part of the image above that). There was a piece of tape on the front of the poster below the "N" of "MAYNARD". Someone took the poster and mounted it onto a thin linen with no excess and little restoration was performed. The poster could be displayed as it is, or certainly, it could be re-backed, but that expense in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
