A 1935 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Virginian, the 1929 Victor Fleming Wyoming romantic love triangle rancher cowboy western ("Paramount's Outdoor Romance"; "See and Hear This 100% All Talking Picture"; "Based upon the novel and play by Owen Wister and Kirk LaShelle"; about a foreman of a Wyoming ranch, who brings a friend out to work for him, but then both fall in love with the same woman, and when she chooses the foreman, his friend joins the gang of the evil Trampas, and he is caught, and the foreman is in charge of lynching him!) starring Gary Cooper (in the title role as The Virginian), Walter Huston (as Trampas), Richard Arlen, Mary Brian, and Helen Ware. It was in this movie that Gary Cooper plays in a poker game, and one of the gamblers insults him, and Cooper puts his gun on the table and says "If you want to call me that... smile". Also note that this movie was made at the time when sound movies were first taking hold, and it was made in both an entirely silent version and a "100% all-talking" version (so that theaters that did not have the new sound equipment could still show the movie), and two entirely different sets of posters were made, one set for the silent version, and one set for the sound version (and those posters all have the tagline "See and Hear This 100% All Talking Picture"). Finally, note that very few people are likely aware that this is not the FIRST movie version of this novel (there had been a previous version in 1923). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this early talking movie was given a full scale re-release in 1935 with all new poster art and new lobby cards, and this lobby card is from that 1935 re-release! The image on this card seems very likely to be Cooper "out of character", because it is not how he appeared in the movie, plus it is quite possible it is how he appeared in 1935 and NOT in 1929! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There is a tack hole in each corner and in the center of the top of the card. There are smudges in the middle of the right background and a few around the edges. There are a few faint smudges and scuffs in Cooper's face. There is a piece of tape on the back of the center of the top border, but it was not put there for any restoration purpose. See our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Learn More about condition grades
