An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Call of the Rockies, the 1938 Alan James Rocky Mountains singing cowboy musical action adventure cowboy western ("Guns blazing Death! Hearts beating high! Songs ringing clear! Thrills flying fast!"; "Song-streaked sagebrush sockeroo!") starring Charles Starrett, Donald Grayson (billed as "The Singing Sensation Donald Grayson"), Iris Meredith, The Sons of the Pioneers ("Famous radio stars"), and Bob Nolan. 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.
