Cavalry gloves he wore in The Horse Soldiers
Ephemera, unsigned. Leather, US Cavalry-style riding gloves worn by Wayne in the dramatic Civil War film, The Horse Soldiers (1959). Inside the left-hand glove is a sewn M-G-M label with John Wayne's name typed on it. John Wayne (1907-1979), born Marion Michael Morrison, appeared in more films (over 250) than any other star. Best known for his roles in Westerns and war movies, Wayne's long list of Westerns includes Stagecoach (1939), Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), Rio Grande (1950), Hondo (1953), Rio Bravo (1959, which Wayne and director Howard Hawks remade as El Dorado in 1967 and Rio Lobo in 1970) and The Shootist (1976, his last film). Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1949 for The Sands of Iwo Jima, Wayne was awarded the 1969 Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn in True Grit. The Horse Soldiers, though not the most critically acclaimed film of legendary director John Ford, featured Wayne in his typically heroic role on horseback and in battle. Accompanied by authenticating letter from the L.A. Prop and Wardrobe Co. attesting that the gloves were used in the film and stored in studio archives after completion of the film. Gloves lightly worn from use in the film. Fine condition.
