Book excerpt: "He is remembered as a foremost western star of the silent era who 'imbued all of his characters with honor and integrity.' During the late 1910s and early 1920s, he was one of the most consistently popular movie stars, frequently ranking high among male actors in popularity contests held by movie fan magazines," writes one biographer. He was William S. Hart, an American silent film actor, screenwriter, director and producer. From 1907 to 1925, Hart appeared in nearly 75 silent western films. His first was a two-reeler, His Hour of Manhood (1914). His last was Tumbleweeds (1925) for United Artists. 25 William S. Hart Movie Posters pays tribute to this early film cowboy by presenting a collection of vintage movie posters and, in some cases, lobby cards for more than two dozen of his films. They include The Man from Nowhere (1915), Disciple (1915), Hell's Hinges (1916), The Aryan (1916), The Primal Lure (1916), The Dawn Maker (1916), The Devil's Double (1916), The Gunfighter (1917), The Desert Man (1917), Wolf Lowry (1917), The Cold Deck (1917), Wolves of the Rail (1918), Selfish Yates (1918), Riddle Gawne (1918), The Border Wireless (1918), Branding Broadway (1918), Breed of Men (1919), The Testing Block (1920), O'Malley of the Mounted (1921), The Whistle (1921), Three Word Brand (1921), White Oak (1921), Travelin' On (1922), Wild Bill Hickok (1923), and Tumbleweeds (1925). Printed in color on white paper, 25 William S. Hart Movie Posters is a colorful collection worth having.
