Auction History Result 6b171 GO WEST LC 1925 Buster Keaton's cow Brown Eyes orders milk chocolate at candy shop, rare! Date Sold 5/1/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Go West, the 1925 Buster Keaton silent cowboy western comedy ("The Laugh-Buster!"; about a man from a small town who goes to New York City, but is quickly disillusioned, and he gets on a train going west, and he falls off the train in a western town, where he surprisingly becomes a successful cowhand, and ends up alone on a train with 1,000 cows) starring Buster Keaton, Howard Truesdale, Kathleen Myers, Ray Thompson, Brown Eyes (the cow), and Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle (in an uncredited role as a woman!). Buster Keaton knew that a lot of the success of this movie would depend on his personal relationship with "his Pal of the Plains", Brown Eyes the cow, and so he personally "trained" her, to build up their chemistry. The production was halted for two weeks when Brown Eyes went in heat and was unavailable to work, and she was paid $13 a week and received billing! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this classic Buster Keaton comedy is incredibly rare. In all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a single 8x10 still, until we were consigned this lobby card! Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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: very good. The card has stains and smudges in the blank borders and tiny paper loss in the center of the bottom blank border. It has creases in the upper left blank border and an enlarged pinhole in the top right background area, and another pinhole in the top left (in the top of the "g" of "Laugh"; see our images). Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
