An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) The Cherokee Strip, the 1925 silent cowboy western ("A story of Oklahoma's last big open cattle range"; "Miller Bros. 101 Ranch Historical Drama"; "Historical drama of America's last and greatest dash for homesteads"; about the Land Run of 1983, also known as the Cherokee Outlet Opening or the Cherokee Strip Land Run) starring Herbert Bethew, and Lucile Mulhall. Note that the Miller Bros. 101 Ranch was a massive 110,000 acre ranch in Oklahoma, which, at the turn of the 20th century, was the largest privately owned ranch at that time. It became famous in 1907 when they opened a Wild West Show, which later toured the country and Europe. Oil was found on the ranch in the 1920s, and led to the creation of an oil company, which ultimately became ConocoPhillips. But the Wild West Show fell on hard times during The Great Depression (as did all of the others), and they closed up after playing at the New York World's Fair in 1939. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed by "Central Show Ptg. Co." of Mason City, Iowa. In the 1930s and 1940s, a constant headache for theaters was being sure of having movie posters for their current releases. Often, the posters would travel with the actual film prints, and sometimes the theater before them might have forgotten to include the poster, it might have been defaced or torn, etc. If a theater didn't have posters, it was very frustrating! Several companies began in the 1930s (Leader Press, the "other company", Woolever Press, Central Show, etc) that made posters of their own for new releases, and they would provide a back up for theaters in case they didn't get a studio issued poster. Often the posters from these companies (with the exception of the "other company") were silk-screen posters, but they were often quite attractive, and virtually always had a completely different design from the regular studio issued poster. It is a certainty that these posters were issued when the movies were first released. In fact, they were created PRIOR to the movie's release, so that they could serve as teaser or advance posters (theaters rarely got the studio issued posters before receiving the actual movie). Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good.
