Auction History Result f408 IN OLD MONTEREY linen one-sheet movie poster R40s Gene Autry w/guitar! Date Sold 2/7/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) In Old Monterey, the 1939 Joseph Kane California singing cowboy western musical starring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, June Storey, George 'Gabby' Hayes, The Hoosier Hotshots, Sarie and Sallie, The Ranch Boys, Stuart Hamblen, and Frank Ellis. Note that "Sarie and Sallie" appeared in this one movie and are virtually completely forgotten today. But they had a very successful career from 1934 to 1939 in country music! They were supposed to be two "hillbilly" women who were sisters, and they were played by Sarie Brown and Margaret Waters. Although they were billed as a music act, they actually did very little singing (they had backup people for that), but their main appeal was their endearing dialogues where they talked about all sorts of things (and they surely had a strong influence on Minnie Pearl's career)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster had minute paper loss at the crossfolds. There were two 1 1/2" tears near the middle of the top border and a few small tears and creases in the borders. There was very minor wear on the foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great!
