Auction History Result #009 OUTLAWS OF THE PRAIRIE linen 1sh '37 Date Sold 9/17/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Outlaws of the Prairie, the 1937 Sam Nelson singing musical cowboy western ("The wild hills echo with songs of love... As hot lead hisses a hymn of hate!"; "Hoof-thundering, rhythm-roaring gun-blazing sons o' guns!"; "Based on a story by Harry F. Olmsted") starring Charles Starrett, Donald Grayson (billed as "The Singing Sensation"), Iris Meredith, Norman Willis, and 'The Sons of Pioneers (billed as "Famous Radio Stars"). Note that the career of Donald Grayson is one of those sad Hollywood stories you read about. He got his big break when Roy Rogers became a major star and a new singer was needed for The Sons of the Pioneers, and he sang a song with them in "Dodge City Trail" in 1936. He then made a few more movies for Columbia, including this one, where he got great billing. He left to join Spike Jones and His City Slickers in the early 1940s, but then his career went rapidly downhill, due to his major alcohol problems, and he passed away in 1958, at just 49 years of age.

It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good to fine. The poster has had minor restoration along the folds. There was some light scuffing in the center of the right of the image that the restorer did not touch (but it is not very noticeable or distracting).. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
