Custer), William Desmond, Helen Gibson (as Calamity Jane), Nancy Caswell, George Chesebro, Josef Swickard, Chief Thundercloud, Ted Adams (as Buffalo Bill), Allen Greer (as Wild Bill Hickok), High Eagle (as Chief Crazy Horse), Howling Wolf (as Chief Sitting Bull), Iron Eyes Cody, and Franklyn Farnum. Note that there was a feature version of this serial which was created by editing the individual chapters into a single film, and both the feature and serial have the same name and were released in 1936. The same one-sheet posters were used to promote the feature and serial, but the serial version had chapter information overprinted onto it (otherwise they are the same poster and even have the same litho numbers). No unique one-sheets were created for the serial chapters, only lobby cards. 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 a theater was re-showing this 1936 feature version of this serial in 1942, and they hand wrote the play dates in the top border. But this IS an original 1936 poster that was reused six years later. Also note that the one-sheets for this film are not marked, but the pressbook calls them style A and style B, and we have done so as well. Also, as mentioned in the Description, the one-sheets for the feature film and serial are exactly the same, except the ones used to promote the serial had chapter information overprinted. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had handwriting in the top and bottom. It also had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of several folds, with some pinholes in the middle left, in the leg of the man on the horse. There are also tape stains and areas of paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
