An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Go West, the 1925 Buster Keaton silent cowboy western comedy ("The Laugh-Buster!"; about a man from a small town who goes to New York City, but is quickly disillusioned, and he gets on a train going west, and he falls off the train in a western town, where he surprisingly becomes a successful cowhand, and ends up alone on a train with 1,000 cows) starring Buster Keaton, Howard Truesdale, Kathleen Myers, Ray Thompson, Brown Eyes (the cow), and Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle (in an uncredited role as a woman!). Buster Keaton knew that a lot of the success of this movie would depend on his personal relationship with "his Pal of the Plains", Brown Eyes the cow, and so he personally "trained" her, to build up their chemistry. The production was halted for two weeks when Brown Eyes went in heat and was unavailable to work, and she was paid $13 a week and received billing! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that ANY first release U.S. movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned five lobby cards and four stills from this movie (and NO posters or any other movie paper of any kind) until we received this great window card! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had had creases, tears, stains, and pinholes scattered throughout, more so around the edges. Overall, the window card was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The window card was nicely restored, but the restorer had to paint over the entire background area and borders to "even them out", and it is noticeable, but still, the card will display really well on the new owner's wall.
