CLAWS 1sh '23

Lease from Hershenson/Allen Archive

An Original Vintage One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More)

Claws, the 1923 James Vincent silent canine German Shepherd dog crime thriller short starring "'Lightnin' (The Police Dog)". Note that Lightnin' The Police Dog apparently appeared in 12 shorts between 1923 and 1927, but we have only seen one-sheets on some of them (not surprising, because very few theaters would have ordered one-sheets for shorts by the mid 1920s!). Apparently in 1927, some enterprising distributor re-edited the 12 short films into a single serial, called "The Spider's Net", and released that to theaters (one possibility for why this occurred might be that Gary Cooper had had a role in one of the shorts, which let them advertise it as a "Gary Cooper" serial!). But we have never seen any advertising on "The Spider's Net". Finally, note that there was a later canine movie star named "Lightning" (not "Lightnin'"), who appeared in 8 movies between 1934 and 1937 (and the two dogs get confused in some databases). You can see a short featuring Lightnin' at this Youtube link. If anyone knows more about any of these movies or Lightnin' The Police Dog, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
