An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Kraftbacked Stock Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Tex Ritter was a well known actor in cowboy movies from 1936 through 1973, and a major radio star, and one of the first successful country western singers. Some of his movies include: The First Bad Man, Wichita, Song of the Gringo, and many more! He achieved great fame from singing the theme song from "High Noon", and for being the father of John Ritter, the famous TV star. He passed away in 1974 at the age of 68. 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 Grand National for use by theaters showing re-releases of their 1930s Tex Ritter movies in the 1940s. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the lower left. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached, or with an overprinted snipe area. Also note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Condition: poor. A small amount has been trimmed from the bottom edges of the poster. The title area has been painted over and there are many creases and smudges throughout the poster. There are several tack holes and tears around the edges of the poster and there are ink pad stamps in the borders at upper and lower left and right. Please do not bid on this poster unless you are willing to accept its defects. Learn More about condition grades
