An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #8 (The Last Shot) Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Oregon Trail, the 1923 Edward Laemmle winning-of-the-West silent cowboy western serial ("Universal Chapter Play") starring Art Acord, Louise Lorraine, Duke R. Lee, Jim Corey, and Burton Law. 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. Important Added Info: Note that, for this serial, Universal only put the movie title on the title card, but only put this chapter title on the scene cards, which has greatly frustrated collectors for decades since, because it can be very difficult to identify the scene cards! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: fair. The card was completely separated down the middle and someone taped it from the back, but there is surface paper loss down the center of the front of the card. Someone put some slight touch up on small parts of that area. There are pinholes in the corners. Learn More about condition grades
