Auction History Result 3d002 CHAIN LIGHTNING 1sh '27 stone litho of Buck Jones tapping a cowboy making a pass at his girl Date Sold 12/23/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Chain Lightning, the 1927 Lambert Hillyer silent romantic cowboy western ("A Blue Streak of Action" "Story by Charles Alden Seltzer"; about a cowboy who has his herd of purebred horses stolen, and he must track down the rustlers who stole them, with the help of a pretty blonde) starring Buck Jones, Dione Ellis, Ted McNamara, Jack Baston, and William Welsh. Note that this movie was a remake of an earlier Fox movie starring William Farnum, and that female lead Diane Ellis (apparently she was billed as "Dione" to make her seem more exotic) went on her honeymoon in India in 1930 and caught a tropical disease and died, thus ending her promising career! Also 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! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. There are many tape stains around the edges of the poster, as well as some smudges, tears, and pinholes. There is an area of paper loss in the bottom of the "J" of "Jones" at the bottom crossfold, extending into the black background above it. There is paper loss in the middle of the right blank border. This poster clearly has significant defects, but it is also true that the majority of them are in the blank borders, and the area of paper loss described above is primarily in the background. Any talented restorer can certainly linenback the poster and repair the above defects, and after proper restoration, the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
