Mantan Moreland, a comic performer known for his wide-eyed reactions and exasperated double takes, is the name that anchors this poster for *Come On Cowboy!*, a western musical comedy. Independent companies such as Goldmax Productions and Toddy Pictures made pictures like this for Black audiences, a market that major Hollywood studios of the period largely overlooked. The record gives no date, so the release year should be confirmed in film catalogs before it is cited.
