<B>Caught! (Paramount, 1931).</B></I> Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14"). This Western, from the early days of sound, surprises with its introspective tone, complex character psychology and, most unusual for the time, demythologizing of an American icon like Calamity Jane. Matronly Louise Dresser stars as Calamity, a cattle rustler, wanted by the U.S. cavalry. A young trooper (Richard Arlen) sent to find her turns out to be the woman's long-lost son. This scarce lobby card set is notable for its varnish finish, a practice by Paramount discontinued in 1932. Half of these cards show slight fading, but the other four cards have maintained their vibrancy. Multiple pinholes appear, as do abrasions in four of the image areas, and one of the cards has a tear in the top left corner. Fine-.
