Auction History Result 7r1452 SO THIS IS PARIS LC 1924 boxing champ Jack Dempsey wearing a fake beard, ultra rare! Date Sold 2/18/2021 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) So This is Paris, the 1924 Erle C. Kenton silent France boxing sports melodrama short ("A Fight and Win Picture"; fourth in the series; from the story by Gerald Beaumont) starring Jack Dempsey, Hayden Stevenson, Charles Reisner, George Ovey, Malvina Polo, and Ethel Channon. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Note that this movie was advertised like it was a chapter of a serial, but actually, it was one of ten shorts in a series called "Fight and Win". It is very similar to a series called "The Leather Pushers", made around the same time, and those movies were each called "rounds", to heighten the boxing connection. But each movie was released individually, so they are not serials in the modern sense. Of course, Jack Dempsey was the heavyweight boxing champion of the world from 1919 to 1926 (finally losing to Gene Tunney after seven years as champion). He made a few movie appearances (and there were also filmed versions of some of his fights). His nickname was "The Manassa Mauler". After his boxing career, he first spent several years fighting exhibition matches (often several opponents in a night!). Dempsey then owned his own restaurant ("The House That Jack Built") on Broadway in New York City in Manhattan (opposite the Madison Square Garden). He passed away in 1983 at the age of 87.
