An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Fighting Jim Grant, the 1923 W. Adcook silent cowboy western starring Lester Cuneo (in the title role as Jim Grant), Alma Deer, Lafayette McKee, Joe Bonner, Raye Hampton, George Austin, and Lola Belmore. Note that Lester Cuneo had been a major comedy star at the Selig Studio in 1912, but after just a few movies, he chose to re-invent himself as a cowboy star, and had success there as well, also playing dramatic roles at the same time. He served in World War I (WWI), and returned to Hollywood and again began making westerns, playing a character billed as "The Smiling Daredevil". But by the early 1920s, his westerns were less and less successful, and after a series of personal and professional failures, Cuneo could not get any parts at all, and he committed suicide in 1925. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has a studio-issued title change snipe over the original title "Fighting Jim Grant", with a different title "The Ranger and the Law". We do not know if this was an alternate title, a last minute title change, or a re-release title. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has a studio issued title change snipe neatly glued over the original title area (it could be removed by a professional or a talented amateur). Otherwise, the poster was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking, with only minor fold and border wear. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
