Auction History Result #072 BLOOD WILL TELL LC '27 Buck Jones Date Sold 3/26/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Blood Will Tell, the 1927 Ray Flynn silent cowboy western ("A thrilling romance of laws and outlaws"; "Story by Adele Buffington"; produced by William Fox) starring Buck Jones, Silver, Katherine Perry (billed as "Kathryn Perry"), Lawford Davidson, Bob Kortman, Harry Gripp, Austen Jewell, "and a cast of favorites". Note that Buck Jones' white horse was named Silver (just like The Lone Ranger's later on!), and Silver made 73 movies with Buck Jones from 1922 until Jones' death in 1942 in the tragic Cocoanut Grove fire. But oddly, Silver was almost never billed on the posters for Buck Jones' movies as so many other famous horses (most especially Tom Mix's Tony) were. This is one of the few times Silver was billed on the posters! Also note that Austen Jewell was a juvenile actor who had a prominent role in this movie (he is not billed, but he is pictured on many of the lobby cards). He acted in a total of 12 movies between 1924 and 1931, and then retired when he was 15. He resurfaced after World War II in 1948 when he was 33 as an assistant director and later a production manager, and he had a distinguished career until 1989, when he retired, and he passed away in 1998 at the age of 82. He had the interesting distinction of having worked on a large number of great movies over many decades in different capacities, including Greed, City Lights, The Cincinnati Kid, Superman, and Star Trek II!
