Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #9 One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) King of the Texas Rangers, the 1941 John English & William Witney cowboy western adventure serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters") starring Sammy Baugh (billed as "'Slingin' Sammy Baugh"; "The Football Sensation"; in the title role as Ranger Tom King, Jr.), Neil Hamilton, Pauline Moore, Duncan Renaldo, Kermit Maynard, Roy Barcroft, Rudolph Anders, and Kenne Duncan. Slingin' Sammy Baugh (born Samuel Adrian Baugh) was a famous professional football sports player was a Texas college star quarterback at TCU University. In 1937, he signed with the Washington Redskins and became a star there. Interestingly, he played minor league baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals the next year, but he remained with the Redskins. In 1941, he was signed by Republic Pictures to star in this movie, where he was billed as "The Football Sensation". The movie was a huge success, and Republic wanted him to make more movies, but Sammy much preferred playing pro football to acting in movies, and he retired, except for a minor appearance in 1948's "Triple Threat", where he played a "Professional Football Player". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. Prior to linenbacking, the poster was in good condition. The poster had tears and small paper loss in the top blank border and a lesser amount in the other borders. There were many small tears down the vertical foldline and paper loss at the crossfolds (more so in the middle crossfold). Linenbacking has minimized the poster's defects, but they are still noticeable (especially in the cheek of the man at center), although I do not think they are all that distracting.
