An Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #1 ("The Sign of the Trident") Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) White Eagle, the 1922 Fred Jackman & W.S. Van Dyke Native American Indian silent cowboy western serial ("Supervised by Hal Roach"; sort of an early version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with two groups searching the wilderness for a pool of molten gold) starring Ruth Roland, Earl Metcalfe, Otto Lederer, Harry Girard, Frank Lackteen, Bud Osborne, Virginia Ainsworth, Gertrude Douglas, Louise Emmons, Frank Valrose, Chick Morrison, and Anita Nara. Note that Ruth Roland was second only to Pearl White as being best remembered from silent serials of the 1910s. She started in movies in 1909, but in 1915, after the great success of White's "The Perils of Pauline" the previous year, Roland starred in her own 14 episode serial called "The Red Circle", and she went on to make six more serials for Pathe. After 1925, she only appeared in three more movies, returning to the stage where she had performed before entering movies. She passed away in 1937 from cancer, at just 45 years of age. Note that director W.S. Van Dyke had gotten his start as an assistant on D.W. Griffith's "Intolerance" in 1916, and the following year, he was a director of many movies. He directed many westerns and other movies throughout the 1920s, and in 1928, he got his second big break when he helped Robert Flaherty direct "Shadows in the South Seas", and the following year, he was signed by MGM to make "Trader Horn", but it took two years to complete due to all the complications of location filming. The following year, he directed "Tarzan the Ape Man", and the huge success of that movie made him one of the top directors of the 1930s. Finally, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine.
