An Undated (surely from between 1935 and 1939) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Star Packer, the 1934 Robert N. Bradbury (billed as "R.N. Bradbury") cowboy western ("A whirlwind of action in a tornado of trouble! - The sensational western star shows the bad men of the West what fightin' means.") starring John Wayne, Verna Hillie, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Yakima Canutt, and Billy Franey. Note that John Wayne's horse in his First National movies was "Duke", but when he switched to Lone Star, his horse was "Starlight" (but unlike Duke, Starlight was not credited). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from 1930s John Wayne Lone Star westerns are extremely rare (in some cases almost as rare as the posters, which is very unusual for any 1930s movies!). Perhaps next-to-no theaters ordered lobby cards for these B-western movies. Only a very few lobby cards that solely list Lone Star have ever surfaced, and some of those are 1940s re-releases, but some of them seem to surely be from the original 1934 release. In 1935, Monogram acquired the rights to these earlier John Wayne Lone Star westerns and re-released them somewhere between 1935 and 1939, but no one I am aware of has been able to date them any more closely. These "Monogram" lobby cards have both Lone Star and Monogram on them, and they are also incredibly rare (in the case of this movie, we have only previously auctioned two cards like this one, and no cards from the 1934 first release)! Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
