Auction History Result 009 RACING STRAIN ('33) 3sh 1933  Appears in Sports Movie PostersBOOK SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the book we published as shown above. While we once owned this item, we did not auction it through eMoviePoster.com (which is why no price or date is listed) nor do we have it available for purchase. The Racing Strain, the 1933 Jerome Storm automobile car racing sports melodrama ("A romance in the bluegrass") starring Wallace Reid Jr. (billed as "Wally Reid Jr."), Phyllis Barrington, Dickie Moore ("courtesy of Hal Roach"), Mae Busch, J. Farrell MacDonald, Kit Guard, Donald Reed, Paul Fix, Eddie Phillips, and Otto Yamaoka. Note that "Wally Reid Jr." was the son of legendary silent actor Wallace Reid, who died in 1923 of a drug overdose after becoming addicted to morphine after being injured during the making of a film. Wally appeared in two films as a toddler with his dad, and then got his big break with the lead in this movie when he was just 16, but his career pretty much fizzled out after this, and he only appeared in nine more movies, many very minor parts. However, he lived until 1990, having two wives (the second at age 62!), and he had four children with his first wife and two with his second! Also note that Dickie Moore was appearing in Our Gang comedies at this time, and he was hired to play the star as a young boy, and his billing said "courtesy of Hal Roach" after his name. Several of the other actors were well known from their work in silent pictures! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
