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 7 x 9 photo of a shadow-drenched Jones lighting a cigarette, signed and inscribed in ink, “To Barbara, ‘Oh those eyes’ but, To have friend is to feel the warmth of sunshine, With best wishes & luck, You know, Charles (Buck) Jones.” In very good condition, with light, scattered surface marks, trimmed edges, a uniform border of silvering, and light contrast to the signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
