Description: 1917 Wallace Reid in THE HOSTAGE Lowlanders Vs Mountaineers Silent Film Herald From the Southern California estate sale of a silent film collector! Very hard to find original silent film movie theater herald for THE HOSTAGE. "Wallace Reid, the ever popular Lasky-Paramount star, will be seen here in his latest Paramount picture, "The Hostage," a story written especially for him by Beulah Marie Dix and produced for the Lasky Company under the direction of Robert T. Thornby. Wallace Reid, or "Wally," as he is better known by his thousands of admirers, has won for himself an everlasting place in the hearts of the photo-dramatic patrons. A big, powerful, handsome, clean-cut young man with years of dramatic experience, without affectations or poses, he has given to the world the best example of straight forward young American manhood. The story of The Hostage in which he is now appearing, is a most unusual one as it shows the attitude of rival people towards one another. The story has to do with the attitude of Lowlanders towards Mountaineers. Each one accuses the other of barbarism and cruelty, but when they both unite to fight the people of the Coast, their attitude changes. It is full of action and dramatic situations which keep you interested from beginning to end."
