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 glossy 8 x 10 Universal publicity photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Joe, Good luck, Buck Jones.” In fine condition, with scattered surface impressions to facial area, and a few scattered light creases.
