Babe Comes Home First National Pictures, 1927. U.S. half sheet poster. Now a lost film, baseball legend Babe Ruth tried his hand at acting in this silent feature which also stars Swedish actress, Anna Q. Nilsson. Directed by Ted Wilde, the plot centers around a tobacco-chewing baseball player who attempts to reform for the woman he loves, only to find that his baseball game suffers as a result. As a character playing for the Los Angeles Angels, much of the filming was done at Wrigley Field. In 1927, Ruth was actively playing baseball for the New York Yankees; it was during this year that he claimed his 60th home run, setting a record that lasted 34 years. Together with the success of Babe Comes Home, his second film, and his legendary status on the baseball field, Ruth continued his run as The Sultan of Swat and a legendary figure. Posters from this film are exceedingly rare. 22 x 28 in.
