Tumbling Tumbleweeds (Republic, 1935). Lobby Card Set o Tumbling Tumbleweeds (Republic, R-1940s).
<B>Tumbling Tumbleweeds (Republic, R-1940s).</B></I> Lobby Card Set of 8 (11" X 14") Autographed. Gene Autry's first film with Republic Pictures (his biggest role to date had been as a cowboy in the science fiction serial "The Phantom Empire") also marked Joseph Kane's directorial debut. Kane would also become a frequent collaborator of Roy Rogers, as would the ubiquitous comedy relief of George "Gabby" Hayes, who also appears here alongside Autry. The success of radio star Autry in film paved the way for not only Rogers, but stars like Tex Ritter and Bob Baker as well. This beautiful reissue set looks great, although one card has a smudge in the bottom border, and the others have some minor scuffs on the edges, including a tear on the top edge of the title card. As a bonus, though, Gene Autry signed every card in this set with a clear and gorgeous signature! Very Fine.
