Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the 1920's WWI-themed silent film drama, THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER, released in 1926 by Producers Distributing Corporation and directed by Renaud Hoffman. When the United States declares war on Germany in 1917, Fred Williams (Charles Emmett Mack), a millworker in the little town of Homewood, leaves his sweetheart, Mary Phillips (Marguerite De La Motte), enlists, and goes to France. At a variety show, Fred recognizes one of the dancers as Mary, who has joined the Entertainment Division, and she agrees to marry him the day before a troop advance. Too late to convey the fact to Fred she learns that the marriage ceremony was performed by a deserter who had disguised himself as a chaplain. At the front, Fred receives a letter from Mary telling him all, adding that she is with child and awaits his return at Loure; in desperation, he volunteers to contact American troops cut-off between a farmhouse and Loure; he is successful, but is wounded by a shell on his return and is assumed lost. When peace comes, Mary returns home with her child and is turned away by her father (Henry B. Walthall). At the burial of the unknown soldier in Arlington, however, Fred, a victim of shell shock, is reunited with Mary, and the parents are reconciled to the young couple. The cast includes Claire McDowell, George Cooper, Syd Crossley, Jesse De Vorska, Willis Marks, Ethel Wales, and Jerry Madden. The image features a close shot of Mary Phillips (Marguerite De La Motte) as she receives distressing news from two American soldiers.
