An Undated (probably 1940s) Vintage Theatrical Folded Stock Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) one of three John Wayne stock inserts used by theaters to advertise re-released (and in some countries, the first release) John Wayne cowboy western movies that he made for Lone Star Pictures in 1933 and 1934. The first of these inserts was made by Monogram when they re-released those Lone Star Pictures sometime between 1935 and 1939 (there are similar one-sheets for each of those titles, but they only made this generic insert for those re-releases), and it has a great headshot image of John Wayne at the top and artwork at the bottom. We believe the other two inserts date to the mid 1940s (both have solely "A Lone Star Western Re-release" on them), when he had even greater success with his World War II movies, and one of those inserts is similar to the 1930s insert, but with the elements rearranged, and the other has a waist-high image of Wayne pointing a gun. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created for use by theaters showing re-releases of 1930s John Wayne movies. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank area at the bottom. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they were 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 (this poster was overprinted with the title "'Neath the Arizona Skies"). Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There are smudges and creases scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
