Cowboy film star (1889–1942). While visiting Boston on a 1942 war bond tour, Jones was invited to join some friends at the trendy Cocoanut Grove nightclub. When a fast-moving fire broke out, panicky patrons stormed the inadequate exits. For years, legend held that Jones's fatal injuries were the result of his going back into the burning building to save victims, but it is now known that he was trapped in the fire. Vintage matte-finish 10 x 12 photo of Jones posing outdoors, stamped on the reverse “Buck Jones starring in Adventure Features, Universal Pictures,” and signed and inscribed in white ink “To Doug Gadszig, Good luck my pal from Buck Jones.” In very good condition, with trimmed edges, a few small chips and edge tears, some scattered light surface marks and creases, and some light flaking to ink, resulting in signature and inscription being a bit light.
