Auction History Result 1y029 ARIZONA title card '31 great romantic close up of soldier John Wayne holding Laura La Plante! Date Sold 9/9/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Arizona, the 1931 George B. Seitz romantic military love triangle melodrama ("Does Love Bring Dishonor?"; "From the play by Augustus Thomas"; Lieutenant and ladies' man John Wayne is more interested in La Plante's sister than in her, and La Plante gets revenge by romancing Wayne's superior officer, and manipulating him into asking for Wayne's resignation!) starring Laura La Plante, John Wayne, June Clyde, Forrest Stanley, Adrian Morris ("and an all star cast"). Note that John Wayne had been an unknown bit actor in the 1920s, but in 1930, he was given a gigantic break and given the lead in Fox's major western, "The Big Trail". Sadly, that break did not translate into huge success for Wayne, and he had a few more starring roles in dramatic parts, but then became the lead in B-westerns through much of the 1930s. It was only after Gary Cooper turned down the lead in "Stagecoach" in 1939, and the role was offered the John Wayne, that he became a truly major star! "Arizona" was the third movie Wayne made after "The Big Trail", and he is the male lead, but billed under Laura La Plante! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. There were pinholes and small tears in the corners and some creases and small tears in the borders, with tiny paper loss in the center of the bottom border. There are a few creases scattered in the image. Some professional restorer touched up the border defects, but either they did not touch up the tiny paper loss in the center of the bottom border, or it happened after the card was restored. Overall, the card displays great, and there is very little restoration except in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
