2 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

The Dark Command, the 1940 Raoul Walsh Kansas post-Civil War cowboy western ("A drama of undying love"; about a band of renegade Confederate guerrillas who go around looting; loosely based on the real William Quantrill; they even named the character "William Contrell"!) starring Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Walter Pidgeon, Roy Rogers, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Porter Hall, Marjorie Main, and Raymond Walburn. Note that even though Roy Rogers had starred in many B-westerns at the time of the making of this movie, he was fourth billed, and was not pictured on any of the posters (except the insert and the style B 1SH [where he is barely visible!]), or the title lobby card (although he was pictured on one of the publicity stills, perhaps Republic was trying to distinguish this movie as an "A" picture, and did not want to give prominent billing to Roy Rogers, who they perceived as a "B" western star?).
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Condition: very good. Both have tiny pinholes at upper center (the one pictured at top has one tiny pinhole in the image next to the door) and a few tiny smudges in portions of the blank borders. The card pictured at top has a fine scuff in Pidgeon's pants at lower center and some smudges in the face of the star at left. The cards are otherwise in nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind!
