Auction History Result 5d462 WILD BILL HICKOK 9 8x10 LCs '23 western cowboy images of William S. Hart in title role! Date Sold 2/28/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 9 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) Wild Bill Hickok (released in Denmark as "Wild Bill"), the 1923 Clifford Smith silent historical gambling cowboy western ("By William S. Hart - Adapted for the screen by J.G. Hawks"; the movie is set right after the Civil War, when the legendary gunfighter has decided to retire and become a card dealer in a western gambling casino; he falls in love, but the woman is married, and he stops some crooks) starring William S. Hart (in the title role as Wild Bill Hickok), Ethel Grey Terry (as Calamity Jane), Kathleen O'Connor, Jim Farley, Jack Gardner (as Bat Masterson), and Bert Lindley (as Wyatt Earp). Note that William S. Hart was friends with the real life Wyatt Earp, and he included his character in a minor role in this movie, six years before he passed away (Hart was the producer of the movie and helped write the screenplay). There is also a Calamity Jane in this movie, and it would be interesting to compare this movie to the later depictions of Hickok and Calamity Jane! The only surviving example of this movie is incomplete, and it is missing a section in the middle where Hickok goes to visit General Custer, so hopefully one day someone will find a complete example!

Important Added Info: Note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them.
