Warren Kerrigan, Alan Hale Sr., Charles Ogle, Ethel Wales, Ernest Torrence, Tully Marshall, Guy Oliver, John Fox, Tim McCoy (who is billed as an "Indian liaison"), and Jack Padjan. Note that Paramount gave this movie a really major release, and virtually every poster on the movie has completely different artwork from all the other posters! Note that the advertising for this movie states that "3,000 actors spend 3 months on a location 80 miles from the railroad. 1,000 Indians were used and the livestock included 600 oxen, 1,000 horses, and 500 mules"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Prior to paperbacking (see below), the card had tears, creases, smudges, stains, pinholes in the corners, and some other small defects around the edges of the card (extending someone into the edges of the image). The card was well backed, and looks quite nice! Also note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. This means the card was backed onto a board backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original lobby card (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: very good.
