An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

The Cowboy Cop, the 1926 Robert De Lacey silent cowboy western ("The western whirlwind and his whizzing pals in his fastest action picture!"; "The riding, fighting, western whirlwind!"; "Story by Frank Richardson Pierce") starring Tom Tyler ("with his pals"; "and his Buddies"), Jean Arthur, Ervin Renard, Frankie Darro, and Pat Harmon. Note that the designer of this style B poster chose to go with a great image of Tom Tyler with his pal Frankie Darro and a cute dog on his horse, but left out Jean Arthur, who was second billed (Arthur had started making movies in 1924, but two years later, she seemed to find her place as the female lead in B-westerns, but she defied the odds and went on to be a major star of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s!). Note that Frankie Darro was born in Chicago in 1917. His parents were circus aerialists and young Frankie started in 1924 as a 7 year-old child actor, and was immediately in much demand. After 13 movies, he was paired with Tom Tyler in "Let's Go Gallagher", and they were soon a regular team, appearing in 23 movies over the next 4 years. In his first appearances with Tyler, he was simply one of Tyler's "Pals", but over time, as his popularity rose, his billing became "Tom Tyler and Frankie Darro & His Pals", and finally he received single billing under Tyler's credit. Unlike most child stars of the time, his career was not derailed by his entering adolescence (likely because of his small size even as an adult and perennial youthful appearance). Darro was an expert horseman, and he had to do his own stunts in most of his western roles, simply because there were no stunt doubles his size! One of his best roles was in the leading role in William Wellman's ultra-depressing Wild Boys Of The Road in 1933, a movie that dealt with the growing real-life problem in The Great Depression of homeless kids roaming loose in America. The movie is well directed and well worth checking out. After he was full grown (his adult height was 5' 3"), Darro continued to play minor roles (often portraying the leading man as a teen in the opening of the movie), over the next 12 years. He served in World War II, and then returned to movies, appearing in a total of 173 movies, last acting in 1975, the year before he passed away.

Condition: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some separation and small tears on parts of some foldlines with a few tiny areas of paper loss in some foldlines. There was a 6" tear in the upper right border, extending only in the background area and some pinholes, creases, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was really expertly backed, and looks incredible!
