Hop-a-long Cassidy (Paramount, 1935). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). William Boyd appeared in silent films for a few years in the 1920s, achieving some success as a romantic leading man, but by the early 1930s and the coming of sound, his career was on a downslide. When actor William "Stage" Boyd was arrested on gambling and alcohol charges, the papers ran the other Boyd's picture by mistake, further harming his career. With few other options, Boyd accepted a role in a Western, as a cowboy with a limp named Hop-a-long Cassidy, originally created by author Clarence E. Mulford. And thus a legend was born. Presented here is a wonderful lobby card from the first "Hoppy" film, a franchise that would span 66 pictures and thirteen years on the silver screen before transitioning to the new medium of television. Also pictured on this card is Jimmy Ellison, who played Hoppy's erstwhile sidekick Johnny Nelson. This was truly the beginning of a pop culture dynasty, as Hoppy would go on to become one of the most popular Western characters of the twentieth century. This exquisite card shows a stain in the bottom left corner, overall toning, light smudging in the top border, a small hole in the left border, a minor area of surface paper loss in the bottom border, and small creases in all four corners. Fine/Very Fine. Shipping: Flat Material, Small (view shipping information) Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions.
