An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Spook Ranch, the 1925 Edward Laemmle silent cowboy western (produced by Carl Laemmle; about a cowboy who goes into a mining town with his "Negro" valet, George Washington Black, and they are arrested, but are given the chance to win back their freedom if they solve the mystery of a "haunted house" on the outside of town; it turns out a gang of outlaws is hiding out there and making it look haunted, and the cowboy solves the case and wins the love of a rancher's daughter) starring Hoot Gibson, Jules Cowles (as George Washington Black), Helen Ferguson, Robert McKim, and Frank Rice. Note that the cowboy's black African American valet is actually played by white actor Jules Cowles in blackface! Apparently, this actor (who had over 100 film appearances but mostly all minor roles) specialized in playing black people by using blackface makeup (he was a native in a few movies, including "The Lost World"). For some unknown reason, the IMDb got bad information and credits him in this movie as "Ed Cowles", and has a separate listing for that made up actor, but they have the correct information on all of Cowles' other movies. If anyone knows more about Jules Cowles, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
