Auction History Result 7d670 JOHN WAYNE 1sh '40s great full-length image of John Wayne, Paradise Canyon! Date Sold 11/16/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1940s Vintage Theatrical Folded Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) one of four John Wayne stock one-sheets (and an insert) used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these one-sheets was made by Lone Star Pictures itself in 1934, and has an artwork image of a cowboy on a horse that does not resemble John Wayne. The second of these was made in 1939 when John Wayne achieved major stardom with Stagecoach, and distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and one poster shows a recognizable John Wayne on a rearing horse with an inset image in the top right corner. There are two other Lone Star stock John Wayne posters that we believe date to the late 1940s (probably 1947), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one has him standing full-length by a tree, and the other has a closer image of him along with Gabby Hayes. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Lone Star Western for use by theaters showing their 1930s John Wayne movies. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank area at left. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they were sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached, or with an overprinted snipe area (this poster has an overprinted title area "Paradise Canyon" with a brown paper snipe over the overprinting). Condition: poor to fair. There is a brown paper snipe over the title area at left. There is discoloration throughout the poster and there is much tattering along the foldlines and edges. There are creases throughout the poster from it being folded off-center and roughly handled at one time. Learn More about condition grades
