Description: Vintage original 11 x 14 in. US title lobby card from the 1920's silent film western, EYES OF THE FOREST, released in 1923 by the Fox Film Corporation and directed by Lambert Hillyer. Filmed on location in Ben Lomond, California, the image features an outdoor scene of forest ranger Bruce Thornton (Tom Mix) astride his horse (Tony) as he surveys the beautiful wooded forest around him. It is unrestored in good+ condition. Tom Mix and his horse Tony were injured when an explosion that was supposed to cause a landslide covering a high pass was apparently too strong and blew rocks and debris further than it was supposed to, and both Mix and his horse were struck by the flying rocks. Although injured, Mix spent two hours coaxing his terrified horse down off the pass to an area where it, and he, could be treated. Bruce Thornton (Tom Mix), a forest ranger, arrests Ruth Melier (Pauline Starke), who is accused of murdering her stepfather. However, Ruth reveals that her brutal husband, Horgan (Sid Jordan), is the murderer. Bruce and a fellow ranger capture Horgan and his gang of timber thieves, establishing Ruth's innocence. The cast includes Buster Gardner, J.P. Lockney, Thomas G. Lingham, and Edwin Wallock.
