An Undated (probably 1940s) Vintage Theatrical Folded Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) one of four John Wayne stock one-sheets (and an insert) used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these one-sheets was made by Lone Star Pictures itself in 1934, and has an artwork image of a cowboy on a horse that does not resemble John Wayne. The second of these was made in 1939 when John Wayne achieved major stardom with Stagecoach, and distributors rushed to re-release his many 1930s B-westerns to theaters, and one poster shows a recognizable John Wayne on a rearing horse with an inset image in the top right corner. There are two other Lone Star stock John Wayne posters that we believe date to the late 1940s (probably 1947), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one has him standing full-length by a tree, and the other has a closer image of him along with Gabby Hayes. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Lone Star Western for use by theaters showing John Wayne movies in the 1940s. Theaters would order this poster, which has a large blank rectangle area at lower right. The theater would either write in the name of the specific movie they were showing that week (or glue on a paper snipe), thus getting many posters for the price of one. This poster was neatly over-printed with the title and Hayes' credit in that area. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
