An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #18 ("Driving the Golden Spike") Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) In the Days of Buffalo Bill, the 1922 Edward Laemmle silent historical cowboy western serial ("Universal's amazing chapter play"; apparently this was quite an epic, because it showed the end of the Civil War, the assassination of Lincoln, and the driving of the golden spike of the Transcontinental Railroad!) starring Art Acord ("and the greatest cast ever assembled"), Duke R. Lee (in the title role as Buffalo Bill F. Cody), George A. Williams, Dorothy Woods, and Jay Morley. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Also note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: poor. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
