Auction History Result 3b0010 DEBTOR TO THE LAW style A 3sh 1919 art of outlaw Henry Starr, The Man Who Stole a Million! Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned an example of this poster was 16 years ago! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Condition: fair to good. The three-sheet has some light water staining scattered in parts. There are some creases and several tears along the folds that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other folds, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Obviously, this poster can be restored, and after proper linenbacking, it will look wonderful, but bear the cost of restoration in mind (and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this cool poster).
