Hart silent romantic love triangle gold prospecting cowboy-turned-outlaw gambling western (from the story by Charles Kenyon; Hart strikes gold, but he celebrates at a crooked saloon, and they cheat him out of his claim, and he becomes an outlaw and robs the gold mine from his claim, and he falls in love with a pretty woman who wants no part of him because he is an outlaw; but he turns himself in so that her sickly brother can get the reward and have the operation that will cure him, and a secret witness comes forward and testifies for him, and he is vindicated and wins the girl too!) starring William S. Hart (in the title role as 'Silent' Budd Marr), Vola Vale, Robert McKim, Dorcas Matthews, and J.P. Lockney NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a scene lobby card, a 1919 re-release lobby card, and a single 8x10 still from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this pressbook! Also note that this is one of a pretty remarkable group of 12 incredibly rare pressbooks that date from 1917 to 1920! This is from the time period when pressbooks were first made, and it is even before the time that inserts or half-sheets were made! Pressbooks from this time period are among the rarest movie paper collectibles there are. These were all consigned to us from a man who collected for many decades, and it is a far greater number of pressbooks from this period than we have ever auctioned in all our years of auctioning! Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. There are many stains scattered throughout the front cover and the back cover has darkened. The interior pages are in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
