A 1939 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Desert Trail, the 1935 Lewis D. Collins gambling cowboy western (Wayne is a rodeo star who, along with his professional gambler friend, is falsely accused of armed robbery, and they escape, and head to "Poker City" to find the real robbers) starring John Wayne, Lafe McKee, Mary Kornman, Paul Fix, Eddy Chandler, Carmen Laroux, and Al Ferguson. Note that this is one of the 16 westerns John Wayne made for Lone Star Productions, produced by Paul Malvern. Lone Star was a subsidiary of Monogram Pictures. For the very first release of these 16 movies, lobby cards were made that say "A Lone Star Production". After John Wayne achieved major success in 1939, the movies were re-released with new lobby cards that say "A Monogram Picture". The lobby cards from both releases are extremely rare, and the ones from the very first Lone Star release are unbelievably rare (in some cases, only a very few or no lobby cards are known to exist!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, we believe this lobby card is from 1939, because it says "A MONOGRAM PICTURE" and does not say Lone Star on it. In the case of most of the 1934 and 1935 Lone Star movies, at least one lobby card from Lone Star exists, so it is a certainty that the Monogram lobby cards are re-releases. Unfortunately, in the case of this movie, we have never auctioned or seen even one Lone Star lobby card, so we can't say for certain that this card is a re-release, but we are 99% sure. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good. There are some stains and scuffs scattered in the image, none of which affect Wayne's image. There are pinholes, smudges, and a few tears in the borders. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
