An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Gunfire, the 1934 Harry L. Fraser cowboy western ("Adapted from the novel 'Pards in Paradise' by Eric Howard") starring Rex Bell, Ruth Mix (daughter of Tom Mix, who appeared in around a dozen movies, starting as a teenager), Buzz Barton, Philo McCullough, Ted Adams, Milburn Morante, and Jack Baston. Note that Buzz Barton was born William Lamoreaux, but at the age of 12, he played a small role in a B-western, billed as "Billy Lamar". Over the next two years, he appeared in a total of nine B-westerns, being billed under various names. Apparently, he was quite a horseman, and in 1927, he starred in "The Boy Rider" as a youthful western hero, and he was billed as "Buzz Barton". This proved to be a very popular movie, and over the next two years, he appeared in around a dozen similar movies, as the "World's Greatest Juvenile Western Star", always playing David "Red" Hepner (because of Barton's red hair). Over the next few years, he continued making B-westerns, playing various characters, but becoming an adult hurt his career, and he was reduced to playing uncredited parts in scores of B-westerns in the late 1930s. He left the movies in 1942, when he enlisted in the Navy (even though he only grew to 5'2" as an adult). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some small paint stains on back at left that slightly bleed through to the front (near the man at left's boot). It has a few tears of varying lengths along the right and a few inches of separation at the edge of the upper vertical foldline. It has light rippling near one edge but that is not very noticeable or distracting. It is otherwise in generally nice condition and after linenbacking with some restoration the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
