This original Belgian poster is linen-backed and in very fine plus condition.

This original scene lobby card is in very good condition with multiple pinholes and some edge-wear. Otherwise, the condition is quite good.

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.

Original Republic Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the William Beaudine musical comedy, CUBAN FIREBALL (1951) starring Estelita Rodriguez, Warren Douglas, Mimi Aguglia, and Leon Belasco. Pretty Cuban-born entertainer Estelita Rodriguez began a show business career at age nine. She was signed early on to an MGM contract, but made no films for MGM. Later she caught the attention of Herbert J. Yates at Republic and was signed to a five year contact there. Her life was characterized by personal upheaval and a tempestuous marriage to actor Grant Withers. Screenwriter Charles Roberts, who had guided the career of another stormy player, Lupe Velez, fashioned this film for Rodriguez. She began calling herself simply Estelita, but her career never really took off. She died in Los Angeles in 1967. MovieArt has several copies of this one sheet and also at least one three sheet. Please inquire as to condition. This copy is good condition only. This poster is a theater-used copy, with some distresses and small holes and pinholes. This poster would linen-back nicely; ask us about restoration services.
