An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Call of the Rockies, the 1938 Alan James Rocky Mountains singing cowboy musical action adventure cowboy western ("Guns blazing Death! Hearts beating high! Songs ringing clear! Thrills flying fast!"; "Song-streaked sagebrush sockeroo!") starring Charles Starrett, Donald Grayson (billed as "The Singing Sensation Donald Grayson"), Iris Meredith, The Sons of the Pioneers ("Famous radio stars"), and Bob Nolan. Note that the career of Donald Grayson is one of those sad Hollywood stories you read about. He got his big break when Roy Rogers became a major star and a new singer was needed for The Sons of the Pioneers, and he sang a song with them in "Dodge City Trail" in 1936. He then made a few more movies for Columbia, including this one, where he got great billing. He left to join Spike Jones and His City Slickers in the early 1940s, but then his career went rapidly downhill, due to his major alcohol problems, and he passed away in 1958, at just 49 years of age.

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and some creases and small tears along the top horizontal fold and scattered in the vertical fold. It had a 2" vertical tear in the right of the middle horizontal fold and some pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
