Auction History Result 5c920 STRANGER OF THE NORTH LC '22 Richard Travers & Ruth Dwyer by castle, Canadian Big Timber! Date Sold 2/25/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Big Timber (released in the U.S. as "The Stranger of the North", and perhaps as "Clansman of the North"), the 1924 John W. Noble Canadian silent lumberjack logging romantic melodrama starring Richard C. Travers, Ruth Dwyer, Pat Hartigan, Charles E. Graham (billed as "Chas Graham"), and DeSacia Moorers. Note that movies set in the Pacific Northwest or in Canada were very popular in the 1910s and 1920s, likely because they often took place in lumberjack camps, which were a natural setting for melodrama (and big sweaty men). This is one of the few movies we have seen from that time period that was actually made in Canada (the company that made it, Maritime Studios, filmed most of their productions in Canada, and they hired local men as lumberjack extras provided that they supplied their own axes). Also, it appears that this film completed production in 1921 or 1922, but legal problems delayed the release until 1924 (the same year as the Universal Studios film with the same name and similar plot). Finally, note that we have seen a title lobby card for this movie that was printed with the title "Clansman of the North", and then it was then overprinted with "The Stranger of the North". This may have been a working title, but we don't know for sure. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: fair to good. The card was printed with one title, and then a different title was overprinted on top of it with gold ink (see above). The gold ink has faded somewhat, and it does not stand out from the black writing nearly as much as it surely originally did (see our image). There are also many smudges and stains around the edges. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
