full.thecarsoncitykid-TC-8863

Original Republic Pictures Title Lobby Card (11×14) for the Joseph Kane B-western, THE CARSON CITY KID (1940) starring Roy Rogers, George “Gabby” Hayes, Bob Steele, and Pauline Moore. Rogers plays the Carson City Kid, who is seeking vengeance on the man who killed his brother. That man turns out to be the saloon owner, a generic part in many westerns and only made memorable by the charisma of the specific actor playing the role. Roy only sings one song in this film, a duet with the heroine (Moore). Roy had not yet met Dale Evans, and the studio matched him with a number of different leading ladies. This original title lobby card is fine plus condition, with only a small chip missing from the upper right corner.

All but the final film featured Buck Jones, Tim McCoy, and Raymond Hatton (for comic relief). The series was discontinued in 1942 after Jones was horribly burned in a fire at the famed Coconut Grove in Boston and died two days later. This original scene lobby card featuring Jones, O’Brien, and McIntyre is in very fine condition.

There he lands a part as a spear-carrier in Mary’s new show, and that’s when the wacky fun really begins. An accomplished cowboy in real life, Gibson was one of the few silent stars to make the successful transition to talkies. A beautiful example of early poster art, this original stone lithograph one sheet poster is in very fine condition—with only some pinholes in the corners, minor crossfold separations, and light edge wear.

Original Republic Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the George Sherman “singing” western, MEXICALI ROSE (1939) starring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Noah Beery, and Luana Walters. The title is the hit song from Autry’s ROOTIN’ TOOTIN’ RHYTHM (1937), which was so popular that Republic decided to do an entire feature film based on the song. This film turned out to be one of Autry’s best performances with non-stop action and great singing. Besides the title song, Gene also croons two other popular crowd-pleasers—”El Rancho Grande” and perhaps his most memorable song, “You’re the Only Star in My Blue Heaven.” This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.

One of Autry’s early starring westerns for Republic filled with plenty of action and some very enjoyable songs, including the crowd favorite “Mexicali Rose.” Burnette also shows off his varied musical talent; indeed, the actor could play over a hundred different instruments. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed. There was fold damage and some chips out of the internal fold areas. Color is vivid, but there are some repairs. Presents as fine.
