Cowboy, the 1927 Edward Laemmle & Lynn Reynolds silent cowboy western comedy (based on the story by Lynn Reynolds; about two ranchers who develop a feud over a new woman in town!) starring Hoot Gibson, Nick Cogley, Kathleen Key, Wheeler Oakman, and Slim Summerville. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from this film are extremely rare. We have only auctioned four examples, and the last time was in 2017, but we have NEVER auctioned the lobby card pictured at top! Condition: good to very good.
