The Big Trail, Lobby Card

Three mounted chiefs on a western hillside.

What

A 1930 Fox lobby card for The Big Trail, an American pre-Code Western directed by Raoul Walsh.

Why

Shot on location across the American West as an early widescreen picture, it gave 23-year-old John Wayne his first leading role.

Notice

Painted art runs to every edge, and the title sits in a small framed box at upper right under the line "Greatest Fox Movietone".
