Auction History Result 2s0196 ARIZONA LC 1931 young soldier John Wayne in uniform staring at Laura La Plante, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Arizona, the 1931 George B. Seitz romantic military love triangle melodrama ("Does Love Bring Dishonor?"; "From the play by Augustus Thomas"; Lieutenant and ladies' man John Wayne is more interested in La Plante's sister than in her, and La Plante gets revenge by romancing Wayne's superior officer, and manipulating him into asking for Wayne's resignation!) starring Laura La Plante, John Wayne, June Clyde, Forrest Stanley, Adrian Morris ("and an all star cast"). Note that John Wayne had been an unknown bit actor in the 1920s, but in 1930, he was given a gigantic break and given the lead in Fox's major western, "The Big Trail". Sadly, that break did not translate into huge success for Wayne, and he had a few more starring roles in dramatic parts, but then became the lead in B-westerns through much of the 1930s. It was only after Gary Cooper turned down the lead in "Stagecoach" in 1939, and the role was offered the John Wayne, that he became a truly major star! "Arizona" was the third movie Wayne made after "The Big Trail", and he is the male lead, but billed under Laura La Plante! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this lobby card, and that was 18 years ago, when it sold for $660! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The card has darkened slightly, typical of Columbia lobby cards of this period. It had tiny pinholes in the corners. It has tiny paper loss in the bottom right corner and faint creases in the left corners, with a very faint crease in the lower left going through the girl's forearm. It had a few faint scuff marks scattered in the image. Someone performed slight restoration to the corner pinholes, but did not back the card. This ultra rare card displays really well!
