An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Mystery of Lost Ranch, the 1925 Tom Gibson & Harry S. Webb silent sci-fi (science fiction) fantasy spy espionage romantic cowboy western ("The deadly ray brought the eagle down!"; about a cowboy in Colorado who is hired by two men claiming to be scientists who say that another scientist they knew has disappeared, and they want him to find the scientist; the cowboy takes the job, and he finds the man living in the "Lost Valley" with his pretty daughter, where he has made a "death ray" and he is testing it on birds and animals; the cowboy learns that the men who hired him are actually enemy spies, and he captures them and hands them over to the authorities, and he returns to "Lost Valley" to marry the daughter of the inventor) starring Pete Morrison, Lightning (the horse), and Beth Darlington. Note that Pete Morrison was a silent cowboy actor who started in 1909 when he was just 18. He made nearly 150 silent westerns, but he left when sound came in to join a Wild West show, and he returns and appeared in a few sound westerns, but he retired in 1935 at the age of 45, although he lived until 1973. This movie is the only one we spotted in his filmography that is not a standard western. It certainly is an unusual movie in that it is clearly a science fiction/fantasy movie, and the death ray closely resembles a laser, which actually works in a similar way to the fantasy device of the movie!

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: good to very good.
