An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

The Man from Utah, the 1934 Robert N. Bradbury cowboy western ("Action on the Range and in the Rodeo") starring John Wayne, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Polly Ann Young (sister of Loretta Young, to whom she bore a striking resemblance!), Anita Campillo (billed as "Anita Compillo"), Edward Peil Sr., and Yakima Canutt

Important Added Info: Note that John Wayne had his first chance at stardom in 1930 with "The Big Trail", and when that was not successful, he spent a few years in minor roles, and then became a major B-western star, and stayed that way until 1939, when he made "Stagecoach" and became a major star. At that point, all of his mid 1930s B-westerns were re-released, and no doubt that adds to the rarity of original lobby cards from those movies (many times, original movie paper from movies with quick re-releases is scarce, and B-western lobby cards from the mid 1930s were always scarce anyway, because few theaters likely ordered them). Original first release 1934 movie paper of any sort from this movie is incredibly scarce (this is the very first 1934 poster we have had from this title, and we have only had a single lobby card and a glass slide)! Also note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has a 1" tear in the left of the bottom blank border. It has some faint brown stains in the left blank border and some slight darkening around the extreme outer edges of the borders. It has some faint scuff marks scattered in the image and tiny paper loss in the top right blank corner. Overall, I would say that this poster has survived in about as nice condition as one could possibly hope, and it has a small piece of tape on the back of the bottom left, but that was not put there for a restoration purpose, and otherwise, it has had no restoration.
