Auction History Result 2c095 SUNSET LEGION insert 1928 great art of cowboy Fred Thomson on his horse by river, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/12/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Sunset Legion, the 1928 Lloyd Ingraham & Alfred Werker silent Texas Ranger romantic cowboy western melodrama ("Story by Frank M. Clifton", the pseudonym used by Frances Marion!; about a small western town that is plagued by outlaws and bad men, and they send to the governor for help, but the man who shows up is an eastern dude, who whittles all day, but shortly after he arrives, a masked avenger turns up, who helps get the town free from their troubles) starring Fred Thomson, Silver King the Horse, Edna Murphy, William Courtright, and Harry Woods. Note that Frances Marion used a pseudonym for her screen credit for the screenwriting of this movie (perhaps that was because she was married to star Fred Thomson and didn't want to be accused of nepotism). Also note that star Fred Thomson was a major silent cowboy star (along with Tom Mix), but he is forgotten today, because he tragically died of tetanus just when sound movies started. Surely there should be a film biography of his life (perhaps Johnny Depp could play the lead role!). 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. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned six lobby cards and two heralds from this movie (and no other movie paper) until we received this insert! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded across the middle and there is a 1" vertical tear near the center of the fold and a few smaller tears and some vertical creases along that fold. There are a few tears in the left blank border, with a few stains in the left blank border and in the middle left of the background. There are a few creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered in the image. The poster has never had any restoration. It can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, restoration can be performed.
