An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Miracle Rider, the 1935 B. Reeves Eason & Armand Schaefer Native American Indian cowboy western serial ("Sensational 15 episode serial of the Texas Rangers"; "Fifteen thrill-packed episodes with the greatest western star in the history of motion pictures!"; "The greatest western star rides again!"; "A Mascot Master Serial"; Mix is a Texas Ranger who helps Native Americans keep from getting their land stolen, and he is made an honorary chief) starring Tom Mix ("Foremost Western Star in the History of Motion Pictures"; "Idol of every boy in the world!"; "The outstanding Western Star of all time!..."; "His first serial! His greatest picture!"), Tony Jr. (billed as "with Tony, Jr."), Joan Gale, Charles Middleton, Robert Frazer, Niles Welch, Bob Kortman, Tom London, Edmund Cobb, and Charles King. This was basically Tom Mix's final movie after 280 films, and there are many interesting aspects to it. It had a very sympathetic portrayal of Native American Indians and their plight. The movie had ambitions of being an epic, and included scenes with such western legends as Buffalo Bill, Davy Crockett, and Daniel Boone. It also had several of the best known serial and western actors in it, including Charles Middleton, Iron Eyes Cody, and Yakima Canutt, and Olympic champion Jim Thorpe had a minor role! Note that Tom Mix had been the number one silent cowboy star, and that he had continued making westerns until 1929. Note that it has been said that Tom Mix's horse Tony (who co-starred with him in all those many silent movies) was the greatest horse ever in westerns (apparently he could untie knots with his teeth and he would run INTO burning buildings, something no other horse would do). He was in all of Mix's movies until Mix retired in 1929, Mix came out of retirement in 1932 and made five movies, all with "Tony Jr.", and then he retired again. If anyone knows more about why Tony stopped making movies in 1929 or about Tony Jr., and whether he was really Tony's son, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that there is also an undated poster that appears to be printed from the same plates as this first release poster, except that it has much less color. Because it is undated, it has sometimes been mistakenly sold as this original 1935 poster, but it is actually from 1946, and the poster offered here is absolutely a 1935 original However, we are also auctioning that 1946 re-release poster in a separate auction! Condition: good. The poster was exposed to moisture at one time which has caused some staining and deterioration and paper loss at the center crossfold. It has paper loss at lower right in the corner and someone performed amateur restoration in that area, and also removed the "style B" in the blank border (there is some small surface paper loss in that area). A snipe was removed at lower center over some of the art of the horse and the taglines, and that area now has a slightly "shiny" appearance to it. It has pinholes, creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges and some other separation in portions of some crossfolds and most of those areas including the center crossfold are backed by clear tape. As can be seen in our image the poster is otherwise mostly "all there" and after linenbacking with some proper restoration the poster will look great, but please bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
