Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the 1920's silent film drama, HIS OWN LAW, released in 1920 by Goldwyn Distributing Co. and directed by J. Parker Read Jr. The image features a great exterior long shot of the film's star, Hobart Bosworth, standing at the real-life construction site of a huge dam as he surveys the work being done. This vintage original lobby card is unrestored in near-fine condition with creases of varying sizes in the center of the right border which go into the background area; several creases in the top left corner of the image area; signs of wear and smudges in the borders; and a small area of surface paper loss near the bottom of the left border and in the very top right corner of the image area. There are no pinholes or tears and the color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.

Plot: Wealthy contractor J. C. MacNeir (Hobart Bosworth) becomes greatly attached to young French engineer, Jean Saval (Rowland V. Lee), whom he meets during the course of one of the drunken sprees in which he indulges between jobs. After a night spent in cheap lodgings, MacNeir offers Saval employment and they both start on a construction job in Chinook, where the Frenchman falls in love with Sylvia Harris (Jean Calhoun). Soon after, he is called to defend France during World War I, but before leaving, extracts a promise from MacNeir to look after Sylvia. When word comes of Saval's death, and Sylvia discovers that she is pregnant, MacNeir offers to marry her. Four years later, Saval returns after his release from a German prisoner-of-war camp and accuses his friend of treachery. MacNeir finally convinces the Frenchman that he has only acted as Sylvia's guardian. It is then left to Sylvia to choose her husband, and she picks Saval, leaving MacNeir to accept defeat gracefully.
