Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
A Man's Country is a 1919 silent Western drama film directed by Henry Kolker, and starring Alma Rubens, Alan Roscoe, and Lon Chaney. It was written by Richard Schayer based on a screen story by John Lynch. The poster's tagline was "A forceful and spectacular drama of the primitive West in the days of the Gold Rush, when men fought hard, women lived fast and human life was cheap." The film was considered a lost film for decades. A small fragment was discovered at the Danish Film Institute film archive in Denmark. The fragment does not contain any Chaney footage at all, however. Richard Schayer later went on to write the screenplay for Chaney's 1926 Tell It to the Marines. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
