An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Fighting Jim Grant, the 1923 W. Adcook silent cowboy western starring Lester Cuneo (in the title role as Jim Grant), Alma Deer, Lafayette McKee, Joe Bonner, Raye Hampton, George Austin, and Lola Belmore. Note that Lester Cuneo had been a major comedy star at the Selig Studio in 1912, but after just a few movies, he chose to re-invent himself as a cowboy star, and had success there as well, also playing dramatic roles at the same time. He served in World War I (WWI), and returned to Hollywood and again began making westerns, playing a character billed as "The Smiling Daredevil". But by the early 1920s, his westerns were less and less successful, and after a series of personal and professional failures, Cuneo could not get any parts at all, and he committed suicide in 1925. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two different examples of this one-sheet (17 and 20 years ago!) and a single lobby card from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this third one-sheet!
