An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 44 3/4" x 61 1/4") (Learn More) The Lone Ranger, the 1938 John English & William Witney masked hero cowboy western serial ("The Lone Ranger A Man of Mystery"; "Republic Pictures presents The Motion Picture Version of 'The Lone Ranger'"; "Republic Serial in 15 Episodes"; "Based on the radio serial, 'The Lone Ranger' created by the radio station WXYZ Detroit, and written by Fran Striker"; the movie is set up unusually, with five men suspected of being The Lone Ranger, and the audience has no clue as to which man it is; they used Billy Bletcher's voice for the actual Lone Ranger, so that when each of the five men spoke their lines, the audience would not be able to pick them out as having the same voice as The Lone Ranger!) starring Lee Powell, Silver Chief (as Silver, the Lone Ranger's horse), Chief Thundercloud (billed as "Chief Thunder-Cloud"; as Tonto), Lynne Roberts, Hal Taliaferro (billed as "Wally Wales"), Bruce Bennett (sometimes billed as "Herman Brix"), Lane Chandler, George Montgomery, William Farnum, John Merton, Ted Adams, Charles King, and Iron Eyes Cody. Also, note that first release posters of any sort from this very first movie version of The Lone Ranger is extremely scarce, likely because it was bought by Lone Ranger fans decades ago, and has never returned to the hobby! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had paper loss at several crossfolds, slight darkening, and creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss on parts of many foldlines and in the borders, with some creases and scuffs scattered through the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone simply backed the poster onto a thin linen with no excess, and made the slightest attempts at restoration. If I owned this cool poster, I would have it removed from the thin linen and have it properly re-backed, but if you would want to do that, you must bear in mind the cost of that before placing a bid on this poster.
