Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) His Private Secretary, the 1933 Phil Whitman romantic comedy ("An original story by Lew Collins") starring Evalyn Knapp, John Wayne, Alec B. Francis, Natalie Kingston, Reginald Barlow, and Arthur Hoyt. Note that John Wayne had had only bit parts in movies in the late 1920s, but then got his big break with "The Big Trail" in 1930, with a starring role. But that was not the success it was hoped to be, and he had only small roles for the next two years. Then he signed with First National to star in a series of B-westerns. He appeared in a few non-westerns, in small roles, and tiny Showmen's Pictures gave him the lead role in this romantic comedy! Apparently, Wayne realized that he was not to make his mark as a non-western actor, for soon after, he signed a contract with Monogram Pictures, making many westerns for them (and later Republic Pictures) before getting his next giant break when Gary Cooper turned down the lead role in "Stagecoach", which Wayne played to perfection, and which finally gave him major stardom after so many years in B-pictures!
