Teil: Der Wildtoter und Chingachgook, the 1920 Arthur Wellin silent historical Native American Indian melodrama (based on the novel 'Deerslayer' by James Fennimore Cooper) starring Emil Mamelok (in the title role as Deerslayer), Herta Heden (as Judith Hutter), Bela Lugosi (as Chingachook), Gottfried Kraus (as Tom Hutter), Edward Eyseneck (as Worley) and Margot Sokolowska (as Wah-ta-Wah). Note that this was one of the last German movies that Bela Lugosi made before he came to the U.S. He would appear in the 1920 U.S. version of "The Last of the Mohicans" as an uncredited Indian (oddly, Boris Karloff also played an uncredited Indian!). He had limited success in the U.S. over the decade in the 1920s, but of course, he would achieve great fame with his starring role in the stage version of "Dracula", which he repeated in the 1931 movie. Also, note that it appears likely that this started out as one movie based on the novels "Deerslayer" and "The Last of the Mohicans", and that it proved to be so long that it was released as two separate movies. The second film is "Lederstrumpf, 2 Teil: Der Letzte der Mohikaner" but, unfortunately, it is considered a "lost" film. If anyone knows more about these movies, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition of this novel in its original dust jacket. This book has the original dust jacket. Here are more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would republish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would usually include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and they are quite collectible, especially if they still have the original dust jacket! Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: fair. The spine of the dust jacket is missing, as is the bottom left corner of the cover (see our images). The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve. Learn More about condition grades
