Richard Jones silent romantic south-of-the-border crime adventure religious melodrama ("The peerless 'Doug' in his fastest moving picture"; Fairbanks is an outlaw who lives by a shrine to the Madonna, and after religious people come to the shrine and leave offerings, he plans to steals the money, but he falls for Lupe Velez, and, after the Madonna herself appears to him in a vision [cleverly played in an unbilled cameo by his wife, the angelic Mary Pickford!], Fairbanks undergoes a religious conversion, and stops his life of crime!) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (in the title role "as The Gaucho"), Lupe Velez, Joan Barclay, Eve Southern, Gustav von Seyffertitz, and Mary Pickford (in an unbilled cameo role!)

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this program, which is from the Grauman Chinese Theatre when they showed this great Fairbanks movie, and on the program was "Sid Grauman's Prologue 'Argentine Nights'", which was a bunch of gauchos, senoritas, Indians, cigarette girls, and more celebrating the annual fiesta of their country. They really knew how to "put on a show" back in those days! Note that this 4-page 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" program looks like it COULD be a herald, but the advertisement on the back from a photography studio says "on presentation of this program...", showing that it clearly was intended as a program! Condition: good. The program was folded once in each direction and it has many creases. Learn More about condition grades
