An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 6" x 9" [15 x 23 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Zane Grey's Western Union, the 1941 Fritz Lang historical cowboy western (based on the novel by Zane Grey; about the early days of the legendary telegraph company, and specifically their connecting Omaha and Salt Lake City with telegraph wires, and the great difficulties they encounter in doing so) starring Robert Young, Randolph Scott, Dean Jagger, Virginia Gilmore, John Carradine, Slim Summerville, Chill Wills, and Barton MacLane (as Jack Slade). Note that legendary director Fritz Lang was certainly not known for westerns, but he had had success directing The Return of Frank James the year before this, and this was his second western (and years later, he would do one more, Rancho Notorious)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this herald (19 years ago, we once auctioned an Australian herald with a similar image)!There is something extra cool about this herald. The theater that the herald was used at was the Dixie Theatre in Ruston, Louisiana. The theater owners made a faux Western Union telegram that they gave out to all the inhabitants of Ruston announcing the "Ruston premiere showing", addressed to "Mr. & Mrs. Ruston". An example of this faux telegram is included with the regular herald. Note that this is from a wonderful collection of heralds we were recently consigned. We auctioned the first 30 from this collection (the very best ones) in our just-concluded April Major Auction. We will auction more from this collection every four weeks until they are all sold, and this time there are 43 different ones (all are in separate auctions), and they include many that we have either never before auctioned or only auctioned once or twice before.. The collection only included one of each herald, so on the rare ones, it may be quite some time before we offer the same title again! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
