FORLORN RIVER

Original French 12 1/4 inch x 8 3/4 inch 8 Page Illustrated Pressbook for the 1927 John Waters Adventure FORLORN RIVER (COLORADO), based on the novel by Zane Grey and starring Jack Holt, Raymond Hatton, Arlette Marchal, Edmund Burns and Tom Santschi.

A wanted-fugitive, called “Nevada,” is wounded by a pursuing posse of lawmen, and is left to die on the desert by his companion, Bill Hall. He is rescued by a young rancher, Ben Ide, who is in love with Ina Blaine, daughter of a neighboring rancher. While “Nevada” is recovering, he and Ina fall in love but, through his loyalty to Ben, he sends her away. Going home, Ina falls into the clutches of Bill Hall, now heading a gang of rustlers, but the real leader is Les Setter who is posing as an honest rancher, and he has designs on Ina himself.

The pressbook is in good to very good condition with some separation along the spine.
