Auction History Result 7c411 DEBTOR TO THE LAW LC R20s police looking for Henry Starr, The Man Who Stole a Million, rare! Date Sold 5/19/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) A Debtor to the Law, the 1919 silent cowboy western starring Henry Starr (billed as "The Man Who Stole A Million"; a real-life outlaw cowboy playing himself; he made this single movie and then returned to a life of crime!), Paul Curry (who also plays himself), Patrick Sylvester McGeeney, and Karl Hackett. Note that at the time of the movie's release, the pressbook's advertising claim that Starr had completely renounced his life of crime and had said, decisively, "I'm through", and that it would surely mean that he would never rob again, because "his word had always been a sacred pledge". It also stated that he had recently been informed that land he owned was yielding a huge amount of oil and that he was now "financially independent". Yet just two years after the making of this movie, Starr returned to his former profession of robbing banks, and was shot and killed in 1921 (I guess his gusher didn't pan out!). Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen a card like this before (oddly, it is much more rare than the "regular" first release lobby cards from this movie). It may be an early re-release (and we are listing it as such) or it may be from the first release, when the movie was distributed under the States Rights System, and distributors created their own lobby cards (and this card is on a heavier than normal stock). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: good to very good. There is a piece of clear tape in each corner. Learn More about condition grades
