A 1939 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Somewhere in Sonora, the 1933 Mack V. Wright cowboy western (based on the novel, "Somewhere South in Sonora", by Will Levington Comfort; "The most thrilling Western picture ever made") starring John Wayne, Duke ("the Miracle Horse"), Henry B. Walthall, Shirley Palmer, Ann Faye, J.P. McGowan, Paul Fix, Ralph Lewis, Frank Rice, Glenn Strange, Billy Franey, and Slim Whitaker 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: Note that all one-sheets from John Wayne movies that were printed in the 1930s can be extremely difficult to date (unless, of course, the poster is actually dated). This is because John Wayne was so popular in the 1930s, that his movies were often re-released, and sometimes the re-release posters contain all new artwork, sometimes the equal of the first release posters. The greatest number of 1930s re-releases occurred in late 1939 after Wayne's great success in "Stagecoach" and "Allegheny Uprising". Warner Brothers re-released his early Vitagraph movies at that time, and Monogram re-released his early Lone Star movies at that time. The Warner Brothers posters say "Star of Stagecoach and Allegheny Uprising", but the Monogram posters are more difficult to date. It is generally believed that the Monogram posters that credit Gabby Hayes on the poster date from around 1939, as he became a well-known star at this time as well. IN ANY EVENT, THESE LATE 1930s RE-RELEASE POSTERS ARE JUST AS RARE AS THE ORIGINALS! In some cases, no one has ever seen even a single example of the "first release" poster. 1930s John Wayne posters are so rare, that one must be willing to accept a re-release, especially if it has striking art! Condition: good to very good. 8" clean tear in the middle of the top edge through Wayne's hat running into his hair (easily mended with conservation tape from the back); areas of separation and 2" and smaller tears along the foldlines (some repaired with tape from the back); water stains and areas of discoloration along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster; creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster (more so around the edges); tack holes around the edges of the poster (some enlarged from rough removal). The poster is in better condition than the above makes is sound! Its defects are the sort that respond well to restoration. After linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster would look great, and it would have little paint restoration anywhere on it! Learn More about condition grades
