An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Chapter #1 ("Grahams Millioner") Swedish Movie Poster (measures 23 1/2" x 35") (Learn More) The Iron Man, the 1924 Jay Marchant silent action adventure serial ("The sensational chapter play") starring Luciano Albertini (billed as "Albertini"; "The King of the Daredevils"), Margaret Morris, Jack Dougherty, Lola Todd, and Joe Bonomo (famous strong man who vied with Charles Atlas for the "Most Perfect Man", he appeared in 32 movies, but like Atlas, his primary business was selling books and pamphlets telling how to acquire a body like his!). Note that Luciano Albertini was a fascinating personality who is completely forgotten today. He was a gym teacher who became a sailor and then joined the circus as a trapeze artist, and achieved great success there, and he used that to start making movies, first in Italy, and then Germany, the U.S., and Russia. But the celebrated strongman was also an alcoholic, and his massive drinking ended his career and caused him to be put in a mental institution, and when he was released, he suffered from dementia and was again hospitalized and died there at the age of 62. Someone should make a movie about his life. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
