Important Added Info: Note that John Wayne had his first chance at stardom in 1930 with "The Big Trail", and when that was not successful, he spent a few years in minor roles, and then became a major B-western star, and stayed that way until 1939, when he made "Stagecoach" and became a major star. At that point, all of his mid 1930s B-westerns were re-released, and no doubt that adds to the rarity of original movie posters from those movies..
Note: Although a few one sheets for this vintage 1939 western have appeared on the market, this is the FIRST half sheet we've ever seen and the only one we could find that has ever surfaced. It is also in our opinion superior graphics then the one sheet with striking images of Duke behind bars and again on horseback.
Super RARE!

Why I love half sheet movie posters:
Over the past 40 years collecting I've acquired a special affection for vintage half sheet movie posters. First, they are the ideal size to frame and display. At an impressive but not overwhelming 22x28”, half sheets are large enough to deliver that Wow factor, but not so large they require an entire wall space and exorbitant frame cost. And, the 22x28” frames are readily available at most craft stores like Michaels.
Secondly, I love half sheets because their landscape design often resulted in superior artwork and graphics. Some of my favorites half sheets are from the John Wayne Republic pictures from the mid 1930s that feature a young Duke before he became a major star after 1939. .
