One-Sheet (27" x 41")
Fine+ Folded
Universal, 1925

This killer stone litho one sheet features a heroic and resolute Hoxie as Jack Bannister, protecting the lovely Ynez Remado (Cathleen Calhoun) from the villainous Bud Latham (Duke R. Lee) in a tense standoff.

This folded poster has edge wear with small edge tears and chipping. There is also light fold wear with separation on the three center point cross folds.

Jack Hoxie (1885-1965) was a major Western star of the silent era. Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, Hoxie was a real cowboy, rodeo competitor, and ranch hand, having honed these skills during his formative years in Northern Idaho. His first leading role came in 1919 as the title character in Lightning Bryce, a 15-episode serial from Arrow Film Corp. His fame grew tremendously during the 1920s when he became a well-known and well-beloved star, as big as any of his Western contemporaries. As one of the pioneers of the Western genre in film, Hoxie's contributions to the medium cannot be ignored. It was Hoxie who helped shape the image of the upright, white-hatted working cowboy hero, and his influence can be seen in such later stars as Randolph Scott and John Wayne, the inheritors of his mantle.
