Caption:

Lure of the Circus (Universal, 1918). One Sheet (27 X 41) Chapter Seven -- . , The Charge of the Elephant. , Eddie Polo was absolutely one of the best stunt men of the entire silent era. As his popularity grew, he was given the moniker Hercules of the Screen, in spite of his diminutive stature. He began with Universal in 1914 doubling for many others before starring in his own chapterplays, such as this one. This is a dramatic one sheet that certainly shows Polo at his best, doing what a vintage reviewer called villain-whamming. Of course, Polo did it against not one but two villains at a time, on a precipice, with danger all around! Note the vintage motorcycle following the action on the road down below. Great linenbacking and minimal border and fold wear touch-up. There are corner pinholes, and small tears in the left border, a long one in the middle of the image area, and in the credits. A knock-out stone lithograph poster from the ever reliable Morgan Litho Company. Fine+ on Linen.
