This a vintage publicity photo, not a reproduction, sent out to newspapers and periodicals of the period. Text from a printed press release tipped onto the verso reads: "NO WONDER THE WEST WENT WILD! Joan Fulton (center) and her chorus are entertainers at the Bismark Saloon, frontier oasis of the Dakota Territory in the new Universal-International Cinecolor western film, 'The Michigan Kid.' Starring Jon Hall, Victor McLaglen, Rita Johnson and Andy Devine, the film is an action epic directed by Ray Taylor, veteran of 25 years of thrill-films, and packs everything in its footage from the Sioux Wars and stagecoach hold-ups to barroom entertainment. That's where Joan comes in - backwards. Very good .
