Auction History Result 7c972 WEST OF THE WATER BUCKET LC '24 real life heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey, lost film! Date Sold 5/19/2016 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) West of the Water Bucket, the 1924 Erle C. Kenton silent sports boxing short ("One of the Fight and Win Pictures") starring Jack Dempsey, and Maxine Tabnac. Note that this movie was advertised like it was a chapter of a serial, but actually, it was one of ten shorts in a series called "Fight and Win". It is very similar to a series called "The Leather Pushers", made around the same time, and those movies were each called "rounds", to heighten the boxing connection. But each movie was released individually, so they are not serials in the modern sense. Of course, Jack Dempsey was the heavyweight boxing champion of the world from 1919 to 1926 (finally losing to Gene Tunney after seven years as champion). He made a few movie appearances (and there were also filmed versions of some of his fights). His nickname was "The Manassa Mauler". After his boxing career, he first spent several years fighting exhibition matches (often several opponents in a night!). Dempsey then owned his own restaurant ("The House That Jack Built") on Broadway in New York City in Manhattan (opposite the Madison Square Garden). He passed away in 1983 at the age of 87.

Important Added Info: 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: good. The card was folded down the middle and someone put white tape on the back of that area. There was surface paper loss down the front of the fold. There are pinholes in the corners and small tears in the middle of the borders. There is what appears to be a small pen mark on the center fold. Learn More about condition grades
