Note that George O'Brien had been a World War I soldier and Navy boxing champion, and after he left the Navy, he worked as a stuntman, and in 1924, John Ford picked him to star in his silent epic "The Iron Horse". He became a major silent star, and worked consistently in the 1930s, and then he re-enlisted at the start of World War II, when he was over 40 years old! After the war, his old friend and mentor John Ford gave him parts in three westerns, including this one! 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: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: good to very good. There is water staining across the bottom of the credits area. There are minor creases throughout the poster as is common with three-sheets. There are tiny areas of paper loss down the vertical foldline and many small tears in the edg. Note that this week on eBay eMoviePoster is selling hundreds of large-sized movie posters. Some of these (mostly three-sheets and six-sheets) were large enough that they were printed on two or more separate sheets (this was because the printing presses at that time could not print larger single sheets). Such posters are designed to overlap, and they have marks at the top and bottom of each section that show where the poster's pieces should be placed so that the poster image is correct. This presents are problem for us in photography! If we put the pieces of poster together prior to photography, it is very time consuming, and difficult to do without possibly damaging the poster, even a little bit. So instead, we photograph each piece of the poster separately, and then digitally combine the separate images, overlapping them so that the image views about the same as it would if the poster pieces were correctly placed together. BUT SINCE THE PIECES ARE SHOT SEPARATELY, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PICTURES WILL HAVE DIFFERENT LIGHTING AND/OR BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZE! So sometimes our images of multi-piece posters will give you the impression that part of the poster is a different darkness or size from the rest of the poster. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! It is just the result of photographing the pieces separately. If the pieces DID have a different color or size, we would note that in the auction description! Learn More about condition grades
