Black Lightning

A dog and three figures at a cabin.

What

A 1924 one-sheet for Black Lightning, an American silent drama made by Gotham and printed by Otis Lithograph.

Why

The film survives, and its billing put Thunder the Marvel Dog above a young Clara Bow.

Notice

Clara Bow appears in red type under the words "SUPPORTED BY", while the title runs in black brush script struck with lightning.

“The dog above the star”
