Need help properly preserving an original pice of 1930s lobby art by identifying the actors and film. It's from the mid 1930s and depicts a western scene with a couple in each other's arms and talking to a friendly guy who looks like he is wearing a fur hat. To me the red haired Irish looking actor looks very much like a young Pat O'Brien, but I can't match him to a western in the mid 1930s so I'm not sure. If anyone has any idea who the actors are or what the film might possibly be I'd love to have that information. This pastel on card stock board painting is approx. 34" X 30".

This piece is part of the Gaston collection and painted by Jerome, Norton and Edward Gaston in the Long Beach, California. I would really appreciate your help! THANK YOU

Could this be George O'Brien, Heather Angel and John Carridane in Daniel Boone (1936)?

I'm thinking Preston Foster on the right...
